I must admit I wouldn't miss meat from my diet as I don't really eat that much of it, but sausages definitely. I've never yet had a veggie equivalent that could really rival a decent sausage, whether its a traditional Brit stylie or a foreign johnny sausage -- chorizo beats pepperoni any day for me. In a lot of sausages it is the fat rather than the meat that gives the texture and flavour. You can use all the same spices and a vegetable protein but there is nothing that can really be substituted for the animal fat portion.
