Honey! Although the bees invented honey, they failed to take out a patent!

Honey! Although the bees invented honey, they failed to take out a patent!
We used to get Quorn sausages in the UK. Not bad for vegi daughter who really liked them

The best sausages I've had are Richmond.
They didn't make (or only just started making) the vegi sausage when left so not tried them unfortunately

Being an ex meat eater (albeit a long time ago) it's a weird thing with such alternatives in terms of enjoying / not enjoying. I can't help but compare it to meat. And then it might be a case of "I don't like it because it's too much like meat (texture-wise)" OR "I don't like it because it's nothing like meat." Go figure.
Richmond is a case of "I like it and it's like a real (!) sausage." (As opposed to a sausage shaped thing made up of squished vegetables).
But then also: Richmond isn't exactly a vegan company is it.
I'm surprised I manage to eat anything

They jumped on the bandwagon.
I do like Richard meat sausages but can't say I've missed them. We have a butcher locally who makes his own Toulouse sausage, far better.

Yeah, the whole thing about veggie alternatives to meat is a bit incongruous. I haven't tried the Richmond sausages, I'll give them a try.

I wasn't that keen on the quorn sausages. I used to like the quorn fillets, though they're not easy to get now for some reason.
So what's in it, if not honey?Just been to a local vegan festival (there were never vegetarian festivals!) and got this. Apparently you don't need bees to make honey, you just have to spell it differently.

The man himself was on the stall and said: Honey basically consists of just two sugars (glucose and sucrose) but in a very specific proportion. What the bees do, humans can do (and a lot more quickly)
(...and the only other listed ingredient is "flower scent esters.")
This isn't a one-off, vegan honey is a thing
eg (random choice)

I ordered some vegan Worcestershire sauce in...
Doesn't mean I can pronounce it, though.

Yes, but the combination of sugars in honey would stimulate only the 'sweet' receptors. It would have no taste but "sweet," and be indistinguishable from table sugar.The man himself was on the stall and said: Honey basically consists of just two sugars (glucose and sucrose) but in a very specific proportion.

There's more in honey than just sugars. What extra ingredients makes this product taste like honey?
Worcestershire sauce without fermented fish? Hmmmm....

I think it's "wooster-shire". I've never been there though.

I can only offer the "flower scent esters" from the label. You'll have to trust me (and my partner) on this one: on a blind tasting you'd 100% declare it to be honey.

Also, if you like black pudding the Simon Howie veggie stuff is great. Surprisingly close to the real thing.

Not heard of this.
Veggie haggis? @Revoltingest will go apoplectic!
One odd thing "Vegan approved by the Vegetarian Society" .....
