Vegusto Vegi-Sausage Pepp

Vegan Pepper Sausagevegusto_suas_pepp

A pack of 2 large Swiss vegan sausages with peppers from Vegusto.

These are very much like the other Vegusto sausages I have tried.  The sausage is nice and has a good texture (a little spongey).   The flavour is of the sausage with pepper and quite a bit of heat.  I did not really enjoy the spicyness of them, however I am sure most people would like them.  I prefer the more traditional flavours that I have tried before.  Great on sandwiches,  would be great sliced up and put on top of pizza.

Each pack of 2 sausages is suitable for vegans and vegetarians.   I got mine directly from Vegusto on line.

Vegan Hot Dogsviana_tofu_dogs

A pack of 7 vegan hot dogs from Viana.

You can boil or fry the hot dogs, so they are pretty easy.  I fried mine.  They have a firm and slightly chewy texture.  I found them to be a little bit dry, however with some ketchup they are fine.  They have the typical smokey hot dog flavour you would expect, not too strong.  They are bout 9cm long.  I enjoyed them.

Each 250gram pack of 7 hot dogs are suitable for vegans and vegetarians.  Per 100grams is 230kcal.  I got mine from Veggie Stuff for £3.10

Dragonfly Leek & Potato Soysages

Vegan Leek & Potato Sausagesdfly_leek_pot

A pack of 4 leek and potato soysages from Dragonfly Foods.

I actually bought these by mistake,  I thought they were the original Soysages,  the packaging is so similar it is hard to tell them apart.

Very similar to Soysages,  they have a firm but crumbly texture.  These ones have added potato and leeks,  which is nice and does add a strong flavour of both.  They make a nice change with a warming peppery flavour.  I enjoyed them.

Vegan Mushroom & Tarragon Sausageswickenfen_mush_tarrag

A pack of 6 vegan sausages in a mushroom and tarragon flavour from Wicken Fen.  I am really pleased that Wicken Fen are making their food vegan friendly.  The sausages are quite easy to cook from frozen,  fry, grill, oven or microwave.  I shallow fried mine.

The sausage have quite a soft texture inside,  mine were crispy on the outside because I fried them.  They have a really nice flavour, nice and savoury.  The flavours were not strong but still quite pleasant.  They would work well with a roast dinner or on a sandwich.

I also like the carrot & coriander sausages from the same range that I reviewed earlier.

Each 280gram pack of 6 sausages are suitable for vegans and vegetarians.  Per sausage is 101kcal.  I got mine from the freezer section in an independent health food shop.

Linda McCartney Mini Snack Sausages

Vegan Cocktail Sausages

Mini snack cocktail sausages from Linda McCartney’s.  These are the same as their bigger vegetarian sausages just in a mini format.  They taste really good and are in a fun size.  They make a great party food,  ideal to go on cocktail sticks.    I will be using them for a vegan buffet tea  when I have visitors over the festive season.  According to the pack you can grill them or cook them in the oven,  however I have found that shallow frying them is better because in the oven and under the grill they can dry out and have a slightly cardboard texture but when lightly fried they are juicy and have a good flavour.

Each 320gram pack of mini sausages is suitable for vegans and vegetarians.   Per sausage is 33kcal.  Made using wheat protein so are soya free.  Vegetarian Society Approved.  Cook from frozen. Sold in supermarkets and health food shops.

Please note my reviews are always honest and unbiased, however I feel it only right to point out that the marketing team of Linda McCartney’s did supply this product for me to review.

Vegetarians Choice Meat Free Sausages

Vegan Sausages

Meat free vegan sausages from Vegetarians Choice.  These have got to be the most scrawny veggie sausages I have ever seen,  very thin.  The flavour is OK,  a standard basic veggie sausage and the flavour is just traditional,  nothing fancy.  They are not the best vegan sausages I have had, but they are OK in a pinch.  Vegetarians Choice do a Lincolnshire Style sausage which I reviewed earlier and is a much more satisfying option.

Each 200 gram pack is suitable for vegans and vegetarians.  Contains 5 very slim sausages.  No hydrogenated fats, Egg and Dairy Free.  Per scrawny sausage is 72kcal.  Vegetarian and Vegan Society Approved.

One of my favourite veggie sausages is the Redwood Sage &  Marjoram Pack which I reviewed earlier.

Frys Vegan Slicing Sausage

Veggie Giant Slicing Sausage Polony

A large sausage of veggie proteins which is quite versatile.   I tried mine sliced and lightly fried on a sandwich with some ketchup,  it tasted quite pleasant a little smokey like a hot dog flavour.  I would buy this again if there were lots of people to cook for otherwise I think it is a waste for one or two people as it is quite large.

From Fry’s

Slice it and serve it on a bagel, or as a topping to add some excitement to a pizza. Slice thinly and fry ‘til crisply for an incredible bacon substitute in an English Breakfast or to serve with Macaroni and Cheese. And cooked whole with pineapple pieces, cherries and a sugar sauce, it adds variety to a Christmas spread

Each Slicing Sausage is suitable for vegans and vegetarians.  Dairy Free, No cholesterol, High Protein.  Sold in health food shops.  Per 100grams is 201kcal.

Gourmet Meat Free Lincolnshire Style Sausages

Redwood Vegi Deli Lincolnshire Sausages

Meat Free gourmet sausages from Redwood’s.  In a Lincolnshire style the flavour is savoury and rich and the texture is firm and easy to cut into.  I think they would be good with mashed potato and onion gravy.  I tried them on a sandwich with some Levi Roots Tomato Sauce.  I really enjoyed them.

Each pack of 295grams holds 8 veggie sausages which I think is good value at £2.30 per pack.  They are ready to eat,  to warm them up you can either microwave them, fry or grill.  Store in fridge.

Dairy Free, Vegans Society Approved, Vegetarian Society Approved, Cholesterol free,  100 grams is 273kcal.  Sold in health food shops or on line.  Recently I reviewed a similar product from Redwood’s Sage & Marjoram Sausages which are also good.

Linda McCartney Sausages

Vegetarian Sausages

Linda McCartney vegetarian sausages are can be good depending on how you cook them.    In my opinion they are best shallow fried turning frequently.  You can cook them in the oven, under the grill or on the barbecue,  but I do find that when you do that they can be a little like cardboard.  Frying is the best way to go using a little sunflower oil, make sure they cook through as they are frozen.

The taste is quite good and are great for sandwiches, a veggie breakfast, good with mashed potato or a Sunday roast.

They are suitable for Vegans, Dairy Free, Vegetarian Society Approved.  Each box of frozen sausages come with 6 sausages at 101kcal per sausage.  Sold in supermarkets and health food shops from the freezer.

I personally prefer the vegan sausages made by Redwoods, which I have since reviewed.
