vegetarian sausage patties?

[tinydancer]

What are your favorite type of vegetarian sausage patties? I'm lacto-ovo and I'm looking for something new. I've had the trader joe's brand before. Any others that you guys would suggest?

[kimmifb]

I know of several kinds. If you're ovo-lacto vegetarian then you might like Morningstar Farms sausage patties. That brand makes the links too, but I did not like them. For a vegan choice, there is "GimmeLean" sausage that comes in a tube package where you can form the patties yourself and heat on a skillet. I will put a little bit of salt and pepper on them when I cook them because I like them a little spicier. The GimmeLean sausage, in my opinion, is the tastiest one I've tried.

the gardenburger breakfast sausage patties are really good!

I don't know what Gardenburger has done to their breakfast sausage, but I think it's gross now. :(

i think i tried the gimmielean ones, they were pretty good. even my very omni mother inlaw liked them.

Love the ones that Amy's makes. Don't taste meaty, more like the Amy's burgers-- lots of grains and veggies. Soooo good....

The Trader Joe's brand is vegan, relatively inexpensive, and damn tasty.

FWIW, I find that the vegan options don't nuke as well as the others, they have more of a "dirt" flavor/consistency nuked.

I agree with Nigel. The TJ's sausage patties do taste a little weird after being microwaved. They might taste better pan fried. :think:

I like the Gimmelean the best too. the most tasty in my opinion.
I think the morningstar farms ones are good also.

I LOVED the Morningstar ones, but they aren't vegan :cry:

I just cannot get into the Gimme Lean flavor, it has a bitter after-taste to me? Like burned rubber. Must be just me, but I tried them several times and always was disappointed.

Haven't found the TJ ones, but I shop there about once every 37 years or so, I'll have to look for them.

I like the whole foods house brand ones, no idea if they are vegan.

I only like gimme lean in gravy, I agree that it ain't quite right as patties

I usually buy the Yves sausage patties. We like them.

My first week as a vegan was a rollercoaster ride, and I was feeling pretty down one day UNTIL I made myself a burger with the Gimme Lean sausage (I added vegan cheese and mushrooms). It renewed my faith in vegan foods!!!! Now I have a recipe to make my own pizza dough and I crumble the Gimme Lean on that too...I LOVE IT!

Meat wasn't hard for me to give up really, I was always someone who had to think of other things when eating chicken, or ordered all my meat well done for fear of being grossed out. But sausage patties? Those were hard to say goodbye to (I think it was actually just the herbs they put in 'em). Hence my love affair with Gimme Lean :)

I think GimmeLean sausage is the best sausage on the market,I lioke it better then the real thing back in the days when I use to eat meat.

They're the only ones I've tried, but the yves ones are good. Are Yves products only in canada? I never see them mentioned here...

[nigel]

They exist in the US, but most of us still haven't forgiven them for their excuse of a fake hot-dog. Plain nasty.

[darth_veggie]

Gimme Lean is the only one I've tried, they are kinda dusty when put in the microwave.

I've never tried any of the sausages, so I can't comment there. As for yves, I'm eating their veggie lasagna for lunch as I type this - in Florida. So they're definitely down here, too, not just up north. Unfortunately, my supermarket only carries two flavors of their "TV dinners", the lasagna and the Thai chiken, which is too spicy for me. I've heard that they have like 4 other varieties that I can't get. I really like their lasagna, so I might have to go look in other stores to see if others have better variety.

Gimmelean is really good. Great on bread as a sandwich!

[jenni-anti-fur]

Morningstar farms are good...the whole foods ones are good too.

[catgirl67]

GimmeLean sausage, in my opinion, is the tastiest one I've tried.

Amen!! Soyrizo is great also.

[danakscully64]

Morningstar Farm patties are my fav. I ate too many though in a short period of time and burned out. I eat them at work on occasion.

[gamzadori]

I love light life smart links. The seasoning is right on with the breakfast sausage taste, which Amy's patties are definetly lacking in.

I've been wanting to try the Light Life links, but haven't found any in local stores. I LOVE Light Life. The Smart BBQ is my fav :)

[penny79]

Morningstar are omni but meatless.

Gimme Lean is a vegetarian one that is good.
