I'm going to have an early dinner tonight so have already made a one pot vegan mushroom stroganoff. I'm going to serve it
with smashed roast potatoes plus a salad.
A juicy mango for dessert.

A borlotti bean stew with bread, kale crisps and in-season chunky asparagus.
I had a couple of THIS bangers with it, and they were okay but too salty for me (very like a meat sausage). I'll stick to Linda's.

yesterday was very busy - it was a very good day and then I went and did a huge grocery shop so I was exhausted - so we had our Hakka asian takeout last night and it was delicious - apple streudal for dessert

I had a Boca chik'n patty on a roll with lettuce, red onions, pesto, buffalo sauce and vegan cheese, plus some leftover potato wedges.

I find that they are the tasties together with Sainsbury's caramelised onion bangers. I'm not keen on LM's bangers.
we were very lazy and had salsa and hummus and lime tortilla chips and apple streudal for dessert

They are my favorite of the vegan chik'n patties.
I'm not sure what I am having tonight. I'm thinking maybe homemade pizza topped with pesto, vegan cheese, caramelized onions, spinach and black olives.
I can see why people feel that way about THIS & Linda's in both directions—it's almost an apples and oranges thing.
THIS are premium quality and make a successful attempt to resemble meat bangers. Bonus points for me as they are pea protein (lots of soy doesn't agree with me). The taste though is just a bit too much of everything - too much umami, too much pepper, too much salt, too much caramelised onion. It's all I can taste, and the thought of combining it with another strong flavour like ketchup or HP would really blow the top off (and give me acid!).
Linda's original have barely changed for decades - they're the same tube shaped protein things as ever. There's no pretence at being a 'proper' sausage. They have IMO a great taste and texture and not overpowering so can be used in a lot of ways. They're like TVP++ in my book.

I find that they are just perfection. Just the right amount of seasoning and the texture is perfect.
I absolutely loathe ketchup and HP sauce. They both spoil good food imo.
THIS™ Isn't Pork Sausages | THIS™
THIS™ Isn't Pork Sausages are delicious vegan sausages made to taste just like pork – 100% plant-based, high-protein, and packed with savoury flavour. With a juicy texture and satisfying sizzle, they’re the perfect meat-free sausages for vegan fry-ups, bangers and mash, or BBQs.
I've realised I bought the caramelised onion THIS. My experience tallied with a few reviews saying they couldn't stand the smell (though most were still positive). I binned the last 2 bangers and actually had to change the bin bag half full because they were stinking the kitchen out!
I can imagine the plain version being far better.

Ah yes, the original are so much better than the caramelised onion ones!
Lentil kofta. This is about my favorite easy, quick, and inexpensive meals. I'm going to make flatbread tomorrow
