I tried one this morning from Greggs in Piccadilly Gardens. Not bad. Not as greasy. No gristle. Nice texture and the heavily herbed flavour you expect if you're used to eating veggie sausage.
I must admit I'm a little confused by the reaction to these vegan efforts (it goes beyond the usual vegan opposition oddness). It's being seeing as a bakery kowtowing to POLITICAL CORRECTNESS as opposed to exploiting a growth market to further sales. Piers Morgan, who we also need a less greasy and gristly version of it, led the cries of opposition, and was joined by an MP, and some other dickheads.
When the FLA were in Manchester, me and a mate followed them about a bit to see what was what. In Castlefield Bowl, where they arranged to meet due to its size and the expected crowd of thousands (50 odd turned up) and there was a pork food concession. In a divided country, pork appears to be the drawn battle line. It's not about left v right any more, it's about pork v no pork. We are unceasingly and increasingly weird.
Anyway. Vegan sausage roll was a quid. Had it with tomato soup. Would eat again.
