The Rudd's sausages are really good. Picked them up in Dunnes. Nice spice and texture to them. Better than the Denny's.

I just had these. I have to be honest I’d go for the Denny ones. Myself & herself thought they were very alike though. The Denny ones are 50 cent cheaper and you get 2 extra which the two dogs get in their kongs.

Loved the Rudd’s puddings though when I had them.

That Denny's craic is way too close to real deal for me - the burger gives me the heebiest of jeebes. I'd be keen hear from an omnivore as to how it rates as an alternative.

As a meat eater I would say no, an organisation cannot do both, it makes no sense.

I raise our own meat and buy from a local butcher what we don't do ourselves. We know how those animals are raised, we know what goes into them. All local, good welfare etc.

So to have little school/college students, who are the predominant vegans in our area preaching to me we should all go vegan, and they sitting outside McDonald's with "vegan" burger... Is a bit hypocritical.

McDonald's and the like go against everything I stand for. Cheap processed factory farmed or low end cheap meat products... And here they are giving them money because vegan meal....

In my opinion, for the most part, veganism is a new fad/trend. It goes hand in hand with the LGBTQ lot, as again that demographic and vegans here are very much the same group of young people. Nothing against it, but I've had friends that have claimed be either and both, and some who have then reverted back to original gender and diet as they grew up. I started college in 2010 and both of these ideas were seen as new, and like I said a lot of people just jumped on it to be cool/different/fit in.

Now I actually commend vegans in so much as they got people thinking about where their food comes from, animal welfare needs to improve, and I agree that we should eat less meat overall. But I don't agree with their alternative views on eating animals. I don't believe all farmers are rapists and murderers as they put it.

I mean there are some real rotten parents in this world, doesn't mean all parents are rotten... And plenty of children live worse lives than animals, if we all equal why are they never bringing up these issues?

We're committed omnivores 😁, although trying to move a little further down towards vegetarianism where we can and I suspect at least one of my daughters will end up vegetarian at some stage, which is why I lurk around here a bit. We've recently switched to the Denny meatfree sausages completely. I bought them as an experiment and the whole family actually prefer them to regular sausages. The mince freaks me out a little as it doesn't cook like 'real' mince, but mostly they don't notice much of a difference when I put it in bolognese or chili. The burgers are ok, but the texture is a bit off or something. When we want veggie burgers, we tend to go for ones that are actual vegetables rather than something pretending to be meat.

when I started this thread I had two kidneys, now I am down one so it would be best advised to cut all bacon products and limit red meat , I haven’t checked the sodium content of vegan meat products but I should stick to more veg and water
