A sausage has got meat in in it. So do not call something with no meat in it a sausage. It's bad enough that you make it look like a sausage without you adding insult ro injury by calling it a sausage. Do your own misguided thing, eat what you like, but do not call a non-sausage a sausage. And I know not what tofu is and I never will.

Gilly's link seems to be mutable in the YouTube world. My first try was to a delightful demonstration of how to make an easy chicken tikka masala. I closed that window and tried again and saw the ad in question. That Tesco recipe looks good to me.

Is this the ad?

No idea why people are responding negatively, that casserole looks pretty tasty. I started using a tofu andouille sausage in my Red Beans and Rice and Gumbo dishes long ago and would never go back.

Sorry USers. I am sure you can find it online if required.

Supermarket chain Tesco have released an ad where a father prepares a vegan sausage casserole for his daughter who no longer wants to eat animal products. Innocent enough you would think. Oh no. Tesco are now seemingly he devil incarnate. Don't get me wrong here. I am not a fan of Tesco. Nor am I a vegan, or even a vegetarian. But why on earth have people kicked off about this advert?

There are very good reasons to reduce our meat consumption. Both ecologically and for our health. This advert is obviously geared at a certain market, which will help to achieve this. So why are Tesco being accused of being anything from being meat-free Nazis to ruining the farming economy?

I despair of people at times.
