Your ad is completely not true. Fetch doesn't work for receipts outside of the US. You need to fix this.
Your friends are nice, but they are so average middle class, I can't imagine crossing paths with them at the opera.
Favorite lines: "The texture's awful, the taste is awful but it tastes like home." and "If Chef Boyardee were vegan that's what it would taste like." Hahahaha. Classic.
I really felt that. Sometimes all you really want is a junky hotdog that reminds you of simpler times.
Honestly even real hot dogs are so processed and far from actual meat so it doesn't seem to be all that hard to create them with plants
Kinda why I think it was a good idea to start selling them at fast food joints with the impossible burger. Fast food burgers are already so low quality and full of fillers it is already a low bar to clear. An impossible burger next to a regular McDonald's or burger King burger is pretty comparable but put it up against a real grilled burger and it isn't even in the same ball park.
Man, the Garden Dog by Field Roast for Portillos is bananas good, way better than any meat hot dog i remember
@@shaymorcormick8743 I remember an episode of the Simpsons where Lisa goes vegetarian and finds out that the Crusty Burger is so artificial it already didn't contain any meat
Same with chicken nuggets. People often forget that we are talking about comfort-food.
I dont know where are you from, but here in europe we do have really good quality hot dogs really made out of meat. We do Also have the cheap ones too you just need to read the ingredients. Also price usually sets them apart. That is why i dont believe that this plant based is any better than good quality hot dog
Would you consider doing a store bought vegan bacon review, in the same way you did this one? I know you are the king of vegan bacon recipes, but sometimes we just want to buy it.
Lightlife used to be low tier to me - but I started making them in the air fryer, and they come out REAAAAALLY good. I had such high hopes for Upton due to the "snap"...but yeah, the taste is off.
Is it just me or are the entire line of Upton products just not that good?
@@ojk14325b It’s a shame, because they sell pre-made sandwiches at grocery stores in Chicago…and they’re awesome. But their packaged stuffed is a bit of a miss.
@@ojk14325b I think their seitan is good, but absolutely everything else they've ever made is awful
This was such a fun way to do a taste test! Love hearing all the different opinions
The MorningStar Corn Dogs are delicious 😋. I make them in the air fryer.
Field Roast is my favorite brand. They make a lot of good vegan food. Loma Linda's will always have a place in my heart and my kitchen because they were around when there were very few vegan options back in the day. Morningstar and Lola Linda's are veg nostalgia brands. Sometimes there's nothing better than a Morningstar griller.
Oh my gosh I love you for making this video! Most importantly, thank you for all the guinea pigs who tried the hotdogs, I loved your honest critiques. I have been steering away from plant based hotdogs because I never found one I liked. I am going to jump in the car and go see if I can find some of the field roast (ballpark) hotdogs right now!
So, I actually went out and bought them. I wanted my daughter, who is leery about vegan meats, to try the last half of my hot dog, hesitantly she tried it. She ate the rest of my hotdog! I’d say we found a winner!!! 🌭
I felt the same way about light life. I just bought them recently and they tasted exactly like a hot dog. Texture too.
I saw the thumbnail for this video and thought "it's gonna be Stadium Dogs". We've been hooked on them for a while. :)
Thanks for doing that so we don't have to, and awesome to have JP on!!
I’m excited to try to find some of these. Also, your friends have such a great variety of shirts!
I've had the Field Roast sausages (spicy mexican Chipotle, and apple and sage) and they're soooooooo salty. They were so hard to finish. I'd consider trying the stadium dogs, but I've been hurt before... 😂
I like field roast and zoglo. The zoglo seems much more like a hotdog in texture. Field Roast just arrived to my area.
@Sauce Stache, I haven't had Worthington/Loma Linda in a long time. Their faux ham, as of last year, still has egg whites. This canned was my favourite waaay back in 1988-91, but they need to be grilled, not boiled. Grilled, their skin bubbles and becomes snappy, and their taste and texture is great. But it's been over 30 years since I've found them in any store (I'm in Knoxville since late '93, Kalamazoo before then).
As for the sweetness, remember, the Morningstar is used in their corndogs, which have a touch of sweetness in their cornbread, which is a touch controversial in "The South" (while "up North," nobody calls it, "The North," and we could all give af). The corndogs, regular or mini, are amazing. My Omni husbands loved/love those.
Btw, in the few ratings videos I've done, years ago (see my puny YT channel), I used a 5x5 point scale, with taste/texture, usefulness as intended, nutrition, cost, and allergens as my bases. The highest rating is, then, 25, easily scalable to a letter grade. I usually only did two products at a time, not always the same kind of thing. If I do more, now that there are so many more products, I'll follow your lead, and do comparable products. Feel free to borrow my point scale, gratis. I'd be honoured.
P.P.S. My baby, Alistair, age 14, just died last night, so I'm distracting myself. Thanks for your quality content. For a few minutes, I didn't feel so gd alone.
Describing classic field roast as tasting like soy sauce is so spot on.
I have been eating the Morning Star Farm dogs for years, and love them! For me they are what a hot dog tastes like.
Field Roast makes a fantastic roast beef thing and a holiday breaded roast. Unfortunately I guess sales were bad so they only sell it during Thanksgiving and Christmas now.
When I first tried the Field Roast Stadium Dogs the taste of a real hot dog just came flooding back into memory. I didn't realize I missed it until I tried those. I had been eating the Light Life and I like them, but if I want an experience closest to a real hot dog, then the stadium dogs win. I'm going to have to try the Morningstar ones now though.
A great hotdog option is carrot-dogs! My favorite recipe is from Blacks Going Vegan. Guilt-free and delicious!
Sauce Stache, please understand that the fishing industry is destroying the ocean and killing everything in it. You already know plants taste great. Please consider going vegan.
Loved this video! Awesome opinions!
Yay, thank you!
Morningstar says boil. I never did that's gross texturewise-I always split and fry and it's fine
Vegan and plant based products have come a long way... much better nowadays.
Look at Field Roast just killing it!
I’ve had all of them and my favorite ones are the field roast classic hotdog not the stadium hot dogs I really didn’t like those ones. They didn’t taste like a hot dog to me.
Love watching this videos. Good stuff man.
I usually get Sweet Earth brand at Kroger.....I've never tried one plain but once I put chili and onions on it, I wouldnt know it was a plant based hot dog.
I don't think we have Field Roast in 🇨🇦 at least not where I live
I had fake hot dogs from Aldi a year or two ago and it was absolutely awful. I guess I should give some others a try if I can find some for a decent price!
Can you please make a vegan restaurant chain? I totally go if you did!
I always do the light life. I would get the field roast ball parks but there is no protein in them
So interesting! Love it.
When I lived in England and my kids were young, in the days when we were vegetarian but not vegan, the easiest way to feed guest children was Tivall hotdogs. A universal favorite. Many vegetarian producers have made the move to vegan ranges, but sadly not Tivall. I also believe they are a kibbutz producer on stolen Palestinian land, so maybe not ethical for other non vegan reasons. Still haven't had a hotdog that matches theirs though.
Hey Sauce Stache, do you think you could try your hand at making a vegan alfredo sauce? My girlfriend is allergic to dairy and I would love to make her a tasty sauce!
You can use a cashew cream base or if you're lazy I get the tofutti sour cream or cream cheese as the base and add plant milk. Something fatty and creamy like oat milk with vegan butter. Miyokos makes a great butter.
I’m at vegan hot dog cart a couple times a month. Winter park biscuit company every weekend. And I’ve never ran into you 😂😭, waiting for that legendary day haha. But I’m at target now and just picked up these field roast dogs. Hope their as good as every one says.
I havn't been out late enough to go to the vegan hot dog cart in years downtown! If we get out to Tasty Tuesday (which is rare and Im mad about that) then I would get the vegan got dogs most of the time!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE Winter Park Biscuit company... but again, I don't go enough, you'll find me there when its not 10000º outside and there isn't a huge line. When I'm coming down Corine and there is a line on the side of the building we are heading home hahah
I do get leguminate a few times a month!! I love that place
I’ve never tried the Morningstar hot dogs on their own, but I really enjoy their corn dogs. My grandchildren think they are the real thing.
Haven’t had Lifeline for quite a while because I wasn’t impressed. Maybe I’ll give them another try.
The Field Roast Stadiums are my favorite, too.
I'm in my sixties and I live off of the MorningStar Farms corn dogs these days they really do make me feel like a kid
Have never even been able to find the hotdogs but yes, their corndogs are really good!!!
Those stadium dogs are amazing, I’ve been trying to find them all summer but they’ve been sold out at Wholefoods and everywhere else close to me 🥲🥲🥲
Long time vegan now. Never liked real dogs, they made me queasy, but I love Smart dogs. Salty but delish.
Do the morning star hot dogs have egg whites in them?
We skip the processed and make carrot dogs!
Every time I watch one of your videos I end up in a RUclips hole with 30 tabs open. 🙄 It's a compliment, but man I have stuff to do. 😅
BWHAH im so sorry!!! hahaha but thank you
I had the loma the other day, it’s good pan fried. I would never boil those, even though it says to. For me it had a legit cheap hot dog taste and texture. But I haven’t had meat in like 28 yrs, so what the heck do I know about hot dogs 😂!? I was going to try one, then throw the rest out actually because the ingredients seem so bad for you (and I’m really not suppose to be eating stuff like that these days), but because I liked the taste and texture so much, I froze them 🙈. I didn’t think I was going to like then, but they are really not bad to me and pretty good on a bun with some flavors. I was also surprised about the classic field roast, but it is more like veggie sausage. It’s good on some rice and Cajun flavors though. Best
How many calories in one of those field roast stadium dogs?
Can you teach us how to make hot dogs from the scratch?
As a meat eater, I like the Lightlife
they are pretty dang good right?
I have no idea why, but I've tried the field roast stadium 3 times and all 3 times I just did not like it at all, I yuck at the classic ... Upton updog, made me make icky face too.
Every time I'm in Orlando I always say I'm going to try the cart but never get there.. I do love Dharma Southern Kitchen their Orange bird
We grill our Lo Malinda dogs.
Nice video. But I can't eat any of these. In addition to being vegan, we don't eat anything with added sugar. And all of them do.. Oh well
My all vegan family loves up dogs. I wonder how the same test would go with long time vegans.
I agree with everyone in this video! I love the Stadium Dogs, I just wish they were more widely available and cheaper. I can only find them at Whole Foods and they are $8 a pack!
Sprouts here in Phoenix has them for $6.49, but they are on sale for $4.99. Check Sprouts.
That is so expensive 🥲🙃 I paid like $5 for a pack of 6. But they really are great. I marinate them in liquid smoke overnight and then grill or pan fry them the next day with some of the liquid smoke marinade and I'm in heaven.
Damn I got a bunch on sale from Hy-Vee in Iowa for like ~4$, along with the cash back that iBotta was giving, it ended up being like one dollar per pack, which is an insane deal when it comes to vegan pre-made meat substitutes and “health food” in general.
I was raised vegetarian (currently vegan) so I have a very high tolerance to weird plant based products. I'm now full of this morbid curiosity for trying the ones that ranked lowest.
I feel sorry for the Updogs. They have the coolest packaging imo
Cheers for the "Updog" name.
Yea they do have cool pkg... I've been curious to try, they are expensive...
Uptons making the worst dog dog is very unsurprising considering they also make, by far, the worst mac and cheese
@@AlexanderRay92 Why is that? I haven't found the brand anywhere near me so I am yet to try their hot dogs. Describe to me what sucks so much about their mac n' cheese.
@@elpretender1357 The pasta comes precooked in a plastic bad which gives it a weird texture. The cheese sauce tastes like they made a slurry out of nutritional yeast alone.
Oh please have more of you friends come over for these tests! Some comments were hilarious!
Yeah, I enjoyed that too.
I’m really digging everything Field Roast puts out. The sausages, the breakfast patties, and the stadium dogs are awesome too.
I've had all of these hot dogs in the past, and the Light Life Smart Dogs are definitely my favorite. They have the cheap generic Oscar Meyer-style hot down texture and flavor down right. Maybe it's nostalgia, but for me, that's what a hot dog should be.
I have to poke holes in them and marinade with smoke flavor overnight. I think they taste like bandages as they are out of the package. I prefer a carrot hotdog over them.
I've been buying these for camping trips for years! On their own they arent great (imho) but roasted over a campfire?? Perfect! Cheapo scout-camp hotdog realness.
Next time though? I'm for sure testing out the stadium dogs
@@Auguur li
@@Auguur they're the cheap taste people are used to if they grew up with turkey or chicken hot dogs
@@irradiated_woman8016 I bought some of those stadium dogs last night and they are $7.99 plus tax. Wow and it's only five of them
The Feild Roast brands are my absolute favorite. Light Life was absolutely disgusting. They had a bizarre chemical flavor, but the texture was spot on. I ended up mincing them, frying the crap out of them and using them in chili.
Lightlife fried or grilled are OK, but I use them mainly to make a spread with them. It tastes pretty much like I remember potted meat tasting. I love anything Field Roast!
Two thumbs up for this video! It's extremely helpful. My church uses Loma Linda hot dogs when we have an outdoor function. I'd rather be hungry. I will go to my local Whole Paycheck and buy some Field Roast Stadium Hot Dogs...right after I make some hotdog buns. My family thanks you.
I bet you're SDA huh? Big Frank's at church picnics sounds SDA?
Local "whole paycheck" 🤣 so accurate 🤣
🤣
I decided to replicate your test on my carnivore husband and friend who both think vegan anything is a bad idea.
We had hot dog night tonight. I made your winner Field Roast hotdogs and a grass fed beef hotdog. I challenged them to compare the two. They could not say which was "fake" (their terminology, not mine). Thanks for a fun experiment and I am enjoying the Field Roast hotdogs!
next time someone tries to say plantbased options are "FAKE" set them astray with that misconception by elaborating that they are simply SURREAL because their like a dream come true ;)
@@shieldontario6434 haha! I love it!
I think vegan is stupid, but hotdogs are the one thing I actually prefer veggie/vegan versions to real meat versions. So there's no point trying to make it indistinguishable from a meat hotdog when it's already better.
Do you still eat these? How do you cook it so it taste like the real thing? I want to see if I can fake my kids out.
IMHO, the perfect vegan “hot dog” would be to combine the taste of the Field Roast Stadium Dog and the texture of the Litelife Smart Dogs.
Spot on
Yes!
💯
Nailed it! I tend to get the Lite-life dogs, mostly because they are usually 1.50 less than the Field Roast, and you get 2 extra dogs. Boil 'em and then air fry'em!
Totally agree! The taste of the stadium dogs with the texture of smart dogs, and maybe a slight ‘skin’ on the outside like a beyond sausage and BAM perfect dog!
After seeing this I was intrigued, but I can NOT find the Field Roast dogs in stores. However... my mother-in-law got us "veggie dogs" from Morning Star, and being vegan for many years, I stopped bothering to look at Morning Star since they almost always included dairy, eggs, or both. I was blown away! Not only are these vegan, they taste JUST like I remember real hot dogs tasting. I'm kind of bummed they weren't in this hot dog rank-a-thon
Edit: I finally had the stadium dogs, and I can definitively say I prefer the Morning Star ones
I like the field roast Classic but always boil them which I think keeps them more moist.
the things is, these people are all being asked to be hyper aware of the flavor and everything so that they can give it a rating. if you randomly handed them any one of these (with the exception of upton) in a bun with some condiments, they'd have no problem with them and probably wouldn't even notice it was vegan.
Excellent 👌🏻 Greetings from Scotland 😊 Have a great day everyone 🌻
Greetings from Argentina. 👍🏻
My favorite is the Lightlife but that's mostly for nostalgia reasons because I grew up eating them. I have no idea whether they taste like a beef hot dog.
I grew up SDA so I relate with JP in that the Loma Linda Franks taste like home. they taste absolutely awful compared to everything else, but the nostalgia alone is a major factor in perceived taste. I still love chikettes from Worthington's. In fact it was what I just had for breakfast this morning. If you could do a recipe for similar tasting and textured Chik-ettes, I would be forever grateful lol. Love the channel and all the content you put out.
That was Becket that grew up SDA! Jp was the other guy!
Its so funny I actually prefer a lot of the loma linda stuff! I think its pretty dang good! hahah I need to work on the Chickettes haha that would be great
@@SauceStache it’s funny, a lot of my friends who I grew up with never in a million year would have thought about going vegan while growing up SDA. Now a majority of us are vegetarian/vegan haha
My very first veggie dog (and probably fake meat in general) was in the early 1990s while at a neighbor's house who were SDA and attended service in Loma Linda, CA (we lived in the city next door). At the time I was too young to know what SDAs were about and more specifically the dietary elements of it and no one told me it was a veggie dog, so I just bit into it completely unaware and was completely repulsed at the unexpected flavor and texture. At first I thought it was spoiled food, then I started looking closer at it and could tell it wasn't meat but was still really confused as to what was going on. I really wonder if they were Loma Linda dogs, quite likely. In my memory, it looked almost kind of subtly green in the right light, but that may just be my kid brain imprinting a bad memory. Regardless, it very poorly colored my opinion of fake meat for a long time, but now as a vegan I think back on that memory in a different light.
@@P-_-S unless you’re raised on it, it’s really bad haha.
Field Roast is so damn good. Too bad that only one store in Germany sold it, which closed.
Which store?
@@nilkkl Veganz
GO VEGAN! stop making excuses for yourself saucestache. You can do it!!! I believe in you!!!
Love how you had a bunch of your friends over to “taste test”! ☺️
I love the MorningStar Corn Dogs, I've eaten them for years, just dip in yellow mustard. Yum!
I finally found them at a store near me after getting them a couple years ago. My kids and I went through 2 boxes in 2 days. Soo yum 😋 I love corndogs and I'm so happy they make a good vegan corndog
Ketchup over here, but you're right, they're delicious!
You mentioned liking Lightlife more than in the past. This might be because they're normally wheat-free, but for several months last year they silently started adding wheat gluten to the detriment of not only coeliacs' health but also the texture. They returned to the wheat-free recipe early this year I think, but when you tried it before it might have been the alt recipe
Thanks for mentioning that. I know they aren't officially gluten-free, but I (a celiac) had the Lightlife sausage when it didn't have wheat, and it was pretty good. I see that they removed the wheat again, but they are still not labeled gluten-free. I'll see if I might have them every once in a while.
THAT'S WHY THEY TASTED SO OFF THE LAST TIME I GOT THEM
@@1029blue My wife is coeliac as well and doesn't have any problems. And fortunately, I tend to double check labels even of products we know, so last year caught it before she had one of the bad batches.
Extremely relevant video to me, a hot dog lover with high cholesterol who's trying to substitute with meat-free alternatives (vegan corn dogs are the best).
I like seeing this kind of taste tests
Do morning star corn dogs use different dogs then there regular hot dogs? Because the corn dogs taste great...the regular morning star dogs not so much. Is it just the corn bread that make it so good or is it that the corn dog inside is just better then the regular...why? Lol
It's too bad the updog is so bad the other products that company makes are fantastic and no please never make a vegan blood sausage just the thought of that is wrong in so many ways
The field roast smoked apple and sage ones have me in a chokehold tbh
Absolutely a 10/10 for me on those
Same. I can't get them anymore, and they were expensive, $13 for a pack of 4, but they were such a treat
I love the ranking videos. This one is really fun tho.
Go Vegan
I like the big frank fried, boiling takes away the flavor.
Aldi used to have their own vegan hot dog and that one was pretty spot on in my opinion, but thanks so much for being so thorough! Now I know for sure what to buy
I tried those once. They were so-so for me. I guess Aldi dropped the brand.
Those were the Earth-Grown brand right? Never tried the hotdogs but I did attempt the sausages. I found them Okay....Good flavor, but definitely more tofu-ish than hot dog and they stuck to the pan and burned VERY easily.
Loma Linda is owned by the Seventh Day Adventist Church
Morning Star used to be owned by the Seventh Day Adventist Church. They were recently sold by Conference President Ted Wilson.
Fry's original hotdogs (smoked flavour) were the absolute best, but now they don't seem to sell them outside South Africa :(
There used to be a guy in my town with a vegan hotdog cart who used them, except he didn't advertise as vegan, except within vegan groups, so the general public had no idea and everyone loved 'em.
There’s little doubt you could personally perfect one better than any of these eventually.
My impossible hotdog I made last year came out pretty good... It almost makes me wonder how that would have came out if I would have thrown it into the mix! it was really good. But the texture needed perfected.
Loma Linda franks have always made me think of Vienna sausages
My favorite vegan hot dog is by Kroger.
It is called Sweet Earth Jumbo Vegan Hot Dogs, It is by far my first pick, but you can only buy it at Kroger and its subsidiaries, Frys, Ralphs, Fred Meyer, King Soopers, Food 4 Less, etc... They are pricy at $7.00 for a pack of four, but worth it.
My second pick is the Stadium hot dogs.
Third is the Field Roast Frankfurter.
Fourth is the Morning Star brand.
I agree on the Sweet Earth dogs
I can’t wait to try the stadium ones never had them and not a big fan of field roast things cause of a thanksgiving leftover mishap... But umm Monica’s nails… 💅 lookin’ good girl!
I don't care what the can says; none of the Loma Linda canned hotdogs are best boiled. Grill, pan fry, deep fry or even air fry. But do not boil. That's what ruins the texture.
I have always eaten LightLife vegan hot dogs 🌭. However, I just checked the store I shop at they carry the Field Roast brand hot dogs 🌭. I love my vegan hot dogs 🌭. Therefore, I will be comparing my usual to what the opinions on your channel were/are.
I like that Morningstar dogs are frozen. I buy Lightlife, too, and wind up freezing them. With "the works" on the bun, I'm pleased enough.
Hey Mark
Just curious though, has the Oscar Myer vegan hot dog or Impossible hot dog made it over your way yet in Florida?
I actually called Oscar Myer to see if they were making one. Yes, they were, but I haven't seen it yet at either Publix or Sprouts because it was supposed to be released either on Memorial Day or the July 4th weekend... 😔😔😔😔😔
Anyway
Hope you, Monica, and Walker are having a safe healthy fantastic Friday midmorning...bon appetit
I saute the Loma Linda hotdogs -- better taste.
Cook these on a grill not boiled.
I was vegetarian when it wasn't cool and in fact you were considered a freak. It is amazing to me that it is NOW the "healthy" way to live for many people. I have been eating Loma Linda Big Franks for over 50 years. Do they taste like hot dogs nooo. But this was a product developed to help people transition from meat eating to more plant based life style. Being a freak, these hot dogs helped you to participate in things like a family picnic. When everyone was else was eating meat hot dogs you could still eat a "hot dog" and be a part of the picnic. Kellogg's corporation who bought out Loma Linda and Worthington Foods (and developed morning star farms) has changed many of these products I grew up with. They don't taste the same. Big Franks are pretty close to what they used to be. I loved "Super links" and "Saucettes" (still available- don't taste the same since Kellogg's) which are "hot dog" like products. Are they super healthy- nooo - but they were great for being one of first vegetarian products out there and they hold a lot of nostalgia for me.
I’ve never liked hotdogs too much because of how gross and toxic they are, and when I had eaten them, I used to have to pretty much burn them and smother them with just about anything that I could to eat them.
However, the Field Roast Stadium dogs are the best to me. Here’s how I prepare:
I take a shallow skillet, and I boil them from frozen (Because, I keep them frozen so I don’t waste them). Then, after it boils a few minutes, I drain off the water and then I add a little bit of vegan butter and then I slow fry them in the same pan. That makes them amazing. Try that. It’s the only hotdog, vegan or not that I could ever eat not completely smothered with toppings. They taste great on their own.
I want to thank you for this video. I know it's 2 years old but I only found it a few months ago. I am a huge lover of everything hot dog and sausage. I am English, Scottish Welsh and German, so I feel like it's just in my blood to love sausages. And I really love hot dogs! I'm that person that if you offered me a burger or a hot dog, I'm going to take the hot dog. So, this was really a big deal for me. Last night, we bought the Morning Star hot dogs. Today my youngest child, my 13-year-old, and I tried them. I truly cannot thank you enough. I wanted to cry. There is what you want to do that you know is right in your heart and in your spirit, but it struggles against beloved childhood memories and things that we truly love and crave. I ate this hot dog just a few minutes ago and I just felt such a huge weight off my shoulders. I will also continue to try to make my own with the videos that you share but it is so nice to know that there is something that I can enjoy in a quicker fashion when needed and it totally satisfies. It hits all the buttons for me, everything nostalgic was met. I thank you so much for your channel. I hope you know that for those of us who truly want to do the right thing because we love animals and we love this planet, you helping us to do the right thing is such a gift and a blessing. I truly cannot thank you enough. I know this is an older video and I'm not sure you'll even see this message but I wanted to say thank you and bless you for what you're doing.
Recently I just had the Field Roast stadium dog and I liked how dense it was. We usually get Lightlife for dogs but they are so light I feel like I want to eat 3 of them each time. The Field Roast sausages -- the apple-sage and the Italian ones we get relatively frequently for easy protein with pasta dinner.
I enjoyed the different judges. This was so fun!
Thank you!! Hoping I can do something like this regularly!!
As a meat eater, I'd tried Lightlife and Mornignstar Farms when I'd first watched this. Neither really jumped out at me, but I willingly bought Lightlife more than once.
Came across the Field Roast Stadium Dogs yesterday at my local grocery store for the first time, cooked them up tonight, and had to come back to this video to say I agree with everyone. Definitely the best out of the 3 different kinds I've tried.
Now I want to get another pack and compare them side by side with Lightlife and actual hot dogs, just out of curiosity.
I’m so glad you shouted out The Vegan Hot Dog Cart!! They were one of the highlights of whenever I went downtown in college 🌱
I think if everyone was alone not paired we would have more variation on the results as together they influence each other's opinions. Good video! Can't wait to try all these vegan sausages 🌭
