Excellence
At around $6 for 4, these vegetarian sausages are not cheap - however, they're the best sausages ever! E.V.E.R.
I took the early bus just to have enough time to grab some Field Roast sausages from the Union Square Whole Foods before work. Right now they're on sale for $5 a package so i loaded up on 4: 3 Smoked Apple Sage and 1 Mexican Chipotle. The smoked apple sage are delicious, not too sweet and very flavorful while the Mexican chipotle ones are quite hot & spicy (as the package claims) and what i expect real chorizo to be like. The third flavor is Italian, which i find have too many whole fennel seeds.
Unfortunately, i can't find any Field Roast sausages in Philadelphia. Our local Whole Foods sells the Field Roast Deli Slices (the mushroom ones are quite tasty!) but my request to stock the sausages remains still unanswered. So for now, i have to pick up sausages in New York but believe me, it's worth it. My sister - who i've dubbed "Snasages" - would be fine just eating these for the rest of her life.
We've only pan fried them but i'm positive they'd be excellent on the grill. From their site:
GRAIN MEAT SAUSAGES
From our family to yours! Field Roast sausages are made using traditional, old-country, sausage making practices. We begin, where all sausage lovers begin; with a grind; ours of grain meat. We chop our own fresh vegetables; eggplant, Yukon Gold potatoes, onions and garlic. Add some liquids; zesty lemon juice, rich red wine from a local winery, organic apple cider vinegar and finally the seasonings; fennel seed, sweet red pepper, rubbed sage, ginger, Chipotle and Chili de Arbol peppers and voila!; an artisan vegan sausage with sizzle, texture and personality! 3 flavors:
Italian: traditionally seasoned with fresh eggplant, zesty red wine, pungent fresh garlic and plenty of fennel
Mexican Chipotle: a spicy-hot blend of smoked Chipotle peppers, Chili de Arbol peppers, fresh chopped garlic, sweet onions seasoned with cumin seed and oregano
Smoked Apple Sage: unique combination of sweet granny smith apples, savory Yukon Gold potatoes and pungent rubbed sage and ginger.
Yay to Field Roast Grain Meat Co for making such a great product!

Yummy! Why did I miss that?
Bonesli, how were the Field Roast slices? (FYI my sister bought all 3 flavors of deli slices the last time we were in New York!)
