If veggies can have nut cutlets, why not veggie sausages?

Vegitarians may be taking a moral stance but still miss eating meat.

So? Lesbians might not want dick, but they'll still keep fake ones. Besides, sausages are the original processed meat, so much sausage is hardly meat at all

You might find most vegetarians say something different.

I think it depends on why you are a vegetarian in the 1st place. For some it's about a healthier lifestyle choice for others it's about animal rights....

I like sausage, mash & gravy as much as the next person I just don't want mine to contain minced up balls, brains & gawd knows what else, oh yeah horse

I have the same issue when I see something vegetarian that says "In the style of chicken...". Quorn being a prime example.

If you choose to be vegetarian then be vegetarian. Why eat/buy something that is styled as a meat product? Think of another description for the product!

It's psychological: my freezer is full of meat free burgers, sausages etc. When I was growing up the only vegetarian food was a tinned substance called Saviand and a dry "pellet" Protoveg: vile!

"Bangers" and mash, "bacon" butties fool my eyes and taste nice...oh and less calories!

Did anybody know that vegetarianism is bad for your heart? You need a certain amount of fat on your heart for it to burn up (hardest working muscle in your body, muscles need fuel).

More dangerous for hardworking people or those that do strenuous workouts because without the hard fat that meat provides so plentifully, your heart will weaken by eating away at itself and wasting away.

What do you think killed Michael Clarke Duncan only a year or two after the literal man-mountain became a vegetarian just to please his wife?

All to do with this Quarn try once a week challenge malarky, isn't it? There's an every increasing range of Quarn styled like this, that and the other meat.

No doubt money has been spent on marketing here.

And wtf! Why can't people just be allowed to choose.

What about all the shitty processed meat packaged to be kid friendy. Turkey dinosaur shapes in breadcrumbs, etc. designed to get children hooked on meat from a very early age.

Newsflash for you fella, we're designed to eat meat. Granted the quality of some leaves a lot to be desired but there is no great conspiracy to "... get children hooked on meat..."

As you say, let people choose. All I'm saying is if you choose to stay away from a particular food why keep eating something else that is supposed to taste like it or is 'styled' like it. Just have the real thing ffs. You know it tastes better than the substitute

But I don't like meat before we even go into the hundreds of reasons why it's mass production is such a bad thing. And again why can't I be free to choose?

I'm not getting on anyone's case for eating dead burnt flesh.

And, as I've said, the way these products are presented is down to the marketing people at Quarn, Linda McCartney etc. Yes I've know vegans in the past who've ridiculed such products in the past too. Just the way things are atm.

Essex.

Obviously every one is free to make their own choices... But...

Surely if you love animals you would eat meat...

If every on ate a meat free diet all the farmers would slaughter there stock and grow fruit, veg and grains. The only pigs, cows, sheep and goats would be in zoos or the odd pet. There is not enough money in pet food to make it worth while keeping animals for that use. If every one became vegan, then the dairy herds and ducks, chickens, geese etc would again would be killed off. Many wild fowl would then die out as there would be no shooting estates to release birds into the wild and the wild ducks and geese would still have to shot as would rabbits and dear to keep numbers in check to stop crop damage and over population which would lead to suffering...

So embrace eating meat in the knowledge that thousands of animals are not being slaughtered needlessly...

It really is only to "include" those a little different. I wouldnt touch a ~"real sausage" to save my life but i like a nice "glamorgan sausage"

I would much rather eat one with cheese and leeks in it than ears ,lips and arseoles

I agree. I have tasted the alternatives and to no surprise they taste completely different and not like proper meat at all. Creating all these alternatives just annoys people who eat meats. Maybe the vegetarians too as the alternatives won't be full of the meet alternatives and companies can put new products there that both vegetarians and meet eaters eat as to me and other people I know Quorn doesn't taste like meet at all.

sausage is normally prefixed with, pork, beef, vegetarian etc as is burger so no problem as long as the adjective is accurate.

I'm honestly struggling to see why you don't understand it, I love the taste of meat, I don't want to eat dead animals, quorn is then the perfect option, tastes like meat, no dead animals in my belly. Now that makes perfect sense to me!

As a meat eater I really couldn't be arsed* what part of an animal I was eating, provided it's cooked properly and I like the taste. That also applies to what particular animal I'm eating. Apart from the deception involved I really couldn't understand the fuss about eating horse meat.

A taste* of real starvation would put a few peoples' minds right.

Oh, for my fellow meat lovers I highly recommend kangaroo but stay away from crocodile.

Lots of vegetarian sausages don't taste like meat sausages. Cheese and onion ones are particularly good, for example. They don't have meat substitutes in them either. They're just vegetable.

And really, there's only so many ways you can shape processed food efficiently in a factory or at home. You can roll stuff into a cylinder, you can roll it into a ball, or you can roll it into a ball and squash it.

When I eat a vegetarian 'sausage' it's not because I like meat, it's because I like red onion, rosemary and potato (for example) rolled into a patty and cooked. It just so happens that it is the same shape as a traditional meat sausage, but there's really nothing more to it than that.

Ok ok, I get the veggie sausage.

But! If you don't eat meat from a moral standpoint why would you then want to eat something that replicates the taste of the thing you admit to liking the taste of but won't eat because you don't like the thought of your food being killed. It all seems a tad hypocritical to me.

For many being a vegetarian has little to do with not liking the idea of killing animals but more to do with disliking the taste of meat or the image of raw bloody meat its interesting though you see it only from that aspect though.

I always think its strange non meat eaters try and emulate a meat product but I often think its strange when grown adults try and dress like schoolgirls.

It's a convenient shape to package all the left over bits of animal that you really wouldn't want to eat. AFAIK the skin of most sausages is now artificial, but in the old days, it was the intestine.

I do suspect that the cardboard box which vegetarian sausages are packed in, probably contains more nutrients than the sausages themselves.
