[Review] Fry's vegan Meat Free sausage roll

I love trying different brands of vegan sausage rolls.
This time I tried Fry's vegan meat free sausage roll.

As I got two, I tried one straight out the packet and one from the oven.

Having it straight out the packet was not that nice because the texture and taste was bland.

It tasted much better from the oven because the pastry was crisp and flakey but the vegan sausage filling was a bit of a let down again because of the taste and texture.

The colour was a bit dark so it was a bit off putting.

[Review] Sainsburys Summer Edition BBQ Flavoured Sausages

The Sainsburys Summer Edition BBQ Flavoured Sausages looked different so gave them a try.
Unfortunately, they were not to my liking because the texture was very different to your usual pork sausage and the taste was like chorizo.

[Review] M&S Marks and Spencers Battered Mini Sausages Chip Shop Style

I am so glad I got these M&S Battered Mini Sausages Chip Shop Style which probably taste as good as chip shop sausages.

You can really taste the vinegar on the batter as if it was freshly sprinkled on from the chip shop.

I think if the experience would have totally been different if they had left out the vinegar because it really took it to the chip shop level as well as made it moreish!

The curry sauce was also there for that comforting factor.

[Review] Wall's Vegan Jumbo Sausage Roll

I love sausage rolls so I am trying to try all the vegan sausage rolls as well as regular meat ones.

Wall's are a sausage specialist and now they have vegan sausage rolls as well so it would be interesting to see how they fare.

The Wall's Vegan Jumbo Sausage Roll is made with hooba mince and looks like your regular sausage roll.

As for the taste, I was really impressed because it was tasty and the texture was just like sausage so this is one of my new vegan sausage roll favourites.

[Review] Wall's Ready baked Sausages

Wall's Ready baked Sausages are convenient because you just pop them in the microwave and they are ready to eat.

They taste just the same so it saves the trouble of cooking it and washing the pan as well as waiting ages for it in the oven.

[Review] All Day Breakfast Wall's Lincolnshire Sausage Baguette by Rollover

As well as their signature hotdogs, Rollover has an All Day Breakfast Wall's Lincolnshire Sausage Baguette which I discovered in the hot cabinet at Co-op.

"The sausages heat from frozen in their Free-On-Loan Steamer or Bain-Marie so it’s ideal as an early morning offer."

I would have tried the hot dog but not every day you come across Walls sausage in a baguette so I got the Wall’s Breakfast Sausage Baguette for dinner.

Overall, I was glad I tried it because the quality of the sausage was good being Walls and you could taste the sage, parsley, and thyme in the sausage.

The baguette was nice and hot so the sausage baguette was quite satisfying.

To summarize, it was good considering the baguette had been in the heated cabinet all day yet the sausage was not dehydrated or burnt so it shows the protective foil lined bag did a good job.

[Review] Sainsbury's Plant Pioneers 4 Vegan No sausage mini rolls

The Sainsbury's Plant Pioneers 4 Vegan No sausage mini rolls were surprisingly delicious because they taste as good as greggs with the odd chewy soya bits in it.

[Review] Richmond 8 Meat Free Sausages

Ask any vegan for sausage recommendations and more than 60% will tell you that Richmond is good.

I finally got my hands on them so I was super excited in trying.
After grilling them, they were ready to eat.
The texture was almost the same as meat sausages but without those annoying chewy and squidgy bits.
As for the taste, it did not let me down as it tasted like proper sausage with the full seasoning so I am definitely getting this again.

[Review] M&S Marks and Spencers Low Fat Cumberland Chipolatas

I am not really a fan of Cumberlands sausages but the ones at M&S were low fat and they were chipolatas so decided to give them a try.
The casing is also interesting as it is vegetable casing and not meat casing.

As for the taste, I liked them compared to the regular ones because they were firm and lean without the squishy bits with a hint of black pepper in taste.

[Review] Aldi Plant Menu Masala Roast Cauliflower Sausages

I have always wanted to try some vegan/plant based sausages which are quite pricey.
Since Aldi offered the Plant Menu Masala Roast Cauliflower Sausages and they were affordable if not cheaper than other places, I decided to give them a try.
The sausage casing is like the real thing, but when it is cooked, the texture was a bit like rice paper.
The sausage filling was quite nice but the only thing that ruined it was that it was a bit too salty and sweet for my liking.

Fine sausages by Villagers Sausages in Beckenham

Stumbled upon Villagers Sausages as I was in Beckenham.

Taking a closer look, there were so many sausages ranging from traditional ones to pork with black pudding and even Indian inspired ones.

Inside, they also sold sauces and had pies from Cockneys of Croydon, Truckle cheese and even Bury White pudding which I have tried before at some restaurant.

I did have doubts because I have tried expensive ones before and did not like them because of the texture but somehow I had the feeling that the sausages here would be different.

Anyway, it was really hard deciding which sausages to get but ended up getting the [pork & apricot 94% - pork] and [pork & chestnut - 96% pork].
When I left the shop, I actually had regrets not getting the pork and black pudding.

Being a foodie, I browsed their website when I got home and discovered how they started off.
To cut the long story short, Ron Etheridge is really creative with sausages and came up with so many different types.
Fortunately and unfortunately he was not able to introduce his creative sausages to the sausage specialist shop in Greenwich which is why there is this successful shop today!

If I get the chance to go out again, I would definitely get the pork and black pudding, plum and ginger, Whitstable, Beetroot and horseradish and lemon chicken.

Although they are slightly pricier than other sausages, I would definitely recommend them because you really can tell the difference when you eat it.
The filling is proper grounded pork so it was meaty without the nasty fat and chewy bits so I definitely agree with their ingredients that it does contain a high percentage of real pork.
The stated pork percentage 9X% is pretty high vs the average 70% from other brands.

For the two sausages that I got, they were both amazing but I couldn't quite taste the apricot or chestnuts in the respective sausages.

Pork and chestnut:

Pork and Apricot:

I am so impressed to want to go back again because the sausages doesn't contain the weird grisly bits.
You will find that the sausage texture is a lot firmer because the filling is like minced meat whereas other brands are soft containing lots of fat and other stuff.
If there is a chance, I would love to try an authentic Whitstable sausage because it contains oysters and I would also like to visit the Greenwich sausage shop which inspired Ron Etheridge to see how they fare.
