Cauldron Lincolnshire Veggie Sausages

As the wife of a veggie I use a lot of the Quorn range of products but until recently I was pretty unfamiliar with the Caludron range, these two seeming to be the backbone of supermarket veggie fare . Having tried and enjoyed the tofu which Cauldron make I decided to give the sausages a go and bought a pack of 4 lincolnshire sausages for £1.00 on special offer in my local asda (the usually retail for around £1.48). This is a similar price to quorn sausages. Each sausage contains 83 calories and 2.0g of saturated fat which is considerably higher in terms of fat than their quorn counterparts (50 cals and 0.3g of fat). This makes one sausage worth 1.5 ...  Read the complete review

Cauldron's Lincolnshire veggie sausages are one of a range of vegetarian products made by Cauldron Foods and were selected by yours truly on account of them being one of very few veggie dishes sold by my local tiny supermarket when I was in need of a quick and easy supper. I bought them expecting a bland experience and was pleasantly surprised by them. The pack of four sausages cost £1.53, which is pretty reasonable by ready meal standards. ===The product=== These sausages are dark brown with speckled bits, and are the shape and size of regular sausages - solid tubes about three to four inches long and one inch in diameter. They smell and taste like fake ...  Read the complete review

One used to quite regularly meet ('meat!') really militant vegetarian types who had real bees in their bonnets about vegetarians who liked meat-free food products that'd been made to look like they were made from meat. 'Why would anyone want to eat a fake bacon rasher made from soy?' they'd say - their problem not being the soy or someone's eating of it of course, but the fact that the product had been shaped into something that looked vaguely like it had been sliced out of the belly of a pig. I never quite understood what they were griping about - that is, until I tried Cauldron Lincolnshire Veggies Sausages, because honestly, what is the point of eating these blasted ...  Read the complete review

Let me start this review by pointing out to you I am not a Vegetarian. However I do like to limit my consumption of meat I and like different alternatives from time to time. I am a fan of Cauldron products but hadn't tried these before and when I noticed the price of them was only 70p for a packet of 4 their card was marked for a sausage and tomato butty one night! The Packaging: The 4 sausages come in a black plastic tray with a clear covering over the top of them. The light cardboard sleeve is a light pinky/beige colour and simply slides off with ease. On the front of the sleeve there is a photograph of the sausages and I'm told they are Cauldron ...  Read the complete review

I'm not a veggie, but at times I like to try new foods and reduce the amount of meat I eat to keep the amount of fat I consume down as much as possible. When it comes to sausages I like quorn sausages normally but at times can get bored with them, and my partner hates them so to avoid having to buy different types of bangers for us I look out for something a bit different that we'll both enjoy. Here's where Cauldron comes in, well I hoped they would anyway...... I was in co-op recently and spotted a pack of their veggie sausages on offer. They reduced to half price so of course I picked them up, I had read in a magazine that these sausages were ...  Read the complete review
