Best vegan "sausages" ever!

A few weeks ago, I was picking up some picnic supplies for a trip up to the Tomales Bay Oyster Company with friends. Since they were going to be eating bivalves, I needed a tasty treat for myself. Next to the Tofurky sausages were these Field Roast sausages -- on sale for $2.99.

Though I hate the packaging -- it's possibly more plastic than the Tofurky Sausages because each sausage is individually encased in plastic -- I discovered that I could identify every single ingredient on the package as something that I could easily locate in most grocery stores. Gotta love that about wheat gluten products!

So, "apple & rubbed sage" sounded good and I got a package. The were so very tasty on the grill -- I cannot begin to tell you! The texture is softer than Tofurky sausages, and they don't have the same kind of slick exterior, so they can break more easily if you don't handle them carefully. They cook up great on the grill and they are very tasty and satisfying. I also recommend the Italian sausage version - they are quite good!

Green in terms of limiting the amount of plastic but I'd still like to figure out a way to do it without plastic or with something that is actually biodegradable. more »

not bad for a veggie sausage, not bad at all

So every once in a while I dig a veggie sausage but only if it's good. There's a lot of crap, and I mean crap, out there, and that's the way I feel about it! Actually, I know this from experience.

But these puppies are high-end and down-right tasty, as an alternative to real meat sausages. They're made with Yukon gold taters, apples, sage.

They're from Seattle, founded 10 years ago this year, in 1997. And they've got something goin' on. I picked these up at my local co-op for like $4 and am sure glad I did.

Fry one up, stick a bit of mustard on it, maybe some sauerkraut or peppercinis, and you're off to enjoying a hearty, proteinized veggie sausage.
