Greggs vegan sausage rolls

[Chippy_Tea]

I have never tried one due to the fact i like the meat version SWMBO persuaded me to give one a try as she prefers them (she is not vegetarian) to keep her happy i tried one and am now in the same boat as her the pastry doesn't end up everywhere and the sausage to me has a nice spicey taste, i never thought i would say i prefer a vegan sausage roll to a meat one.

Have you tried one?

 

[Bitter_Dave]

Yes, and I'm afraid I wasn't a big fan. The first bite seemed decent, but it tasted a bit synthetic tasting to me after a few bites. But given it does not contain meat or dairy products it tastes remarkably close to the real thing, so hats off to them.

Never the Greggs version but like the Lidl one well enough when it’s in stock.

If there is no sausage in it it aint a sausage roll its a plant based roll

AND....the plant stuff is probably all the crap left over from trimming up veg. They used to feed it to pigs for free but now charge people to eat it.

Doubt there is much meat in the sausage one.

At least the pigs aren't ending up in the sausage rolls, don't Greggs use donkey or something

 

[Clint]

Aren't sausage rolls supposed to include pigs? Or can the "sausage " be made of any old cr@p?

Sausage isn't exclusively pork.

 

[Rodcx500z]

No i won't say it

 

[Clint]

Was sausage originally meat based?

So were mince pies. Things change.

Depends where you buy them. Greggs are somewhere I wouldn't buy from

Think that took about 500 years...or summit daft!

I did try a pie which was soya bean spun into a meat alternative but it was paired with kidney so defeated the object of being vegetarian!
It's funny that people want to be vegetarians but crave the taste of meat. Can't have it both ways. I don't see carnivores trying to make cabbage from meat.

 

[Dark Arts]

Tried em when they first came out

It's not that funny or hard to understand. People who don't want to eat meat for ethical reasons but still think it is tasty. I don't personally know any carnivores in the sense that they eat only meat, apart from maybe my cats. And I don't think they miss the taste of cabbage, so it is not an issue.

Maybe they like enjoy the taste and texture of meat but without killing. With plenty of meat substitutes and, to a lesser degree, lab made meat, you can have it both ways.

I'd like to add here that as a carnivore, I particularly enjoyed the "Beyond Meat" burgers.
They're proper tasty. I was absolutely shocked! They're very "meaty"

And the meat ones are probably all the **** left over from trimming up the pork.
