I saw this product made with Quorn, on Good Morning Britain, this morning. Apparently, it's delicious but has already
received negative reviews, due to the roll being called 'sausage'.

What does the new vegan sausage roll taste like?
The Sun.couk
THE Sun had a sneak preview taste of the meat and dairy-free pastry. Here's what we thought:
The Sun was one of the first to try the new vegan sausage roll.
It arrived at Sun Towers in a white phone box that looks almost identical to the ones an iPhone comes in.
A sausage roll worth £1 might not be quite as exciting as buying a new phone, but Greggs clearly hopes it will create the same amount of buzz.
The pastry has the same golden colour as it does normally, and you wouldn't be able to tell that this is a meat-free product from just looking at it.
And even when you break into it, the filling is the same pale beige as cooked sausage meat.
But surely it can't taste of meat too?
Honestly - I wouldn't be able to tell the difference.
The filling is soft and mild with a hint of pepper.
The pastry is flaky as you like too, and I actually think it might be better than what you get with the meaty sausage roll.
It maybe doesn't have the same depth of flavour as sausage meat, but if you'd told me there was actually pork inside, I'd have believed you.
There's a small price difference and it's not much healthier for you.
But if they run out of meaty sausage rolls, then you won't be hard done by if you pick the vegan option.
