The best meat alternative sausages
These are delicious and the most like meat sausages (similar to Richmond) that I've tasted. Some meat-free options I find a bit icky and others just sausage shaped falafels, but these are great with plenty of herbs and very tasty. They are soft to touch but firm up when cooked. They have a crispy skin, I fry them and split them lengthways, and cook that way (i used to cook meat sausages that way too). Great alternative to a hotdog too. Yum - Love them!
Recipe change is a no from me
These used to be my favourite sausages on the market! The new recipe change is terrible. Bland, unseasoned and the texture is different.
Perfect for the air fryer
15 minutes (from chilled) in the air fryer and these turn out perfect! Just like a proper good banger should be. Plump, juicy, meaty, and just crispy enough on the outside to give good bite.
Firm texture.
These are a lovely firm texture and not overpoweringly herby. I fry them in a little oil slowly. Perfect in a butty too.
Yummy
Really nice, I like the herbal and slightly peppery taste. They cook very well and have a meat-like texture. 👏💯
Looking forward to trying more Plant Chef products
Over the past 2 years have 'gone off' eating red meat, then chicken, then shellfish. This left my diet basically only (some) fish, pork and pork based products. In order to introduce protein variety and for health reasons I selected these as my first dinner option to try 'meat-free Mondays'. Also, the cost of meat-free products have now moved within my price range when shopping. Absolutely delicious! I would say they had more of a flavour toward pork + onion sausages, rather than the traditional cumberland flavours, but no complaints at all about this. Even gently re-heated in the microwave the next day (90 seconds), they were still juicy, unlike meat versions. I also found that the portion size of each 'banger' after cooking is larger than meat sausages which tend to shrink during cooking, so a little went a long way (hence having portions available the day after). I cooked these by frying on the stove top in a little vegetable oil, which I was worried about as meat versions can be very greasy (I normally bake meat versions instead of frying in order to try to drain the grease, but which makes them dry), however when eating, there was no oil - they did not hold the oil at all -and again, still juicy! Will be purchasing these over the pork or beef sausages going forward, and eating on days other than Monday :)
Tasty, versatile gluten free vegan sausages.
The taste is good, has a little bit of spice. The texture is great, chewy and doesn't fall apart. They contain no gluten, and being coeliac I tried them and was fine. I cooked them by grilling. I tired them as part of a roast dinner, as a hot dog in a gluten free roll and with mashed potato and beans. All I would do again, these are now a regular on my shopping list.
Excellent Veggie Banger
One of, if not The Best, Veggie sausages on the market. well done Tesco.
Bring back the old recipe!
These used to be my absolute favourite, definitely the best vegan sausages I’d come across. However, after the new recipe change they are just bland, dry and tasteless. I won’t be buying them again unless the recipe is changed back.
Great taste and texture
It is a long time since I have eaten a real sausage - forty years or more, but I couldn't resist trying these, and they are delicious with a real meaty flavour and texture. My husband, who became a vegetarian only recently also thinks he wouldn't know the difference between these and ones made with meat. Even the skin seems authentic. For me the best thing is they contain no gluten, so I can eat them to my heart's content. Hurrah!
