I don't like meat substitutes. These days they increasingly have a flavour and texture like meat which is actually quite unpleasant.

When I switched to a vegetarian diet as a teenager 40+ years ago we had Sosmix, a dried mix which when combined with water could be fried to make a pretty decent sausage. It was a staple food for me 40 years ago - ideal fodder for any hard up veggie student, and Judy and I we used to eat it with our kids as a family up to when we emigrated.

I've eaten far more Sosmix sausages than I ever did meat sausages. As a result, nostalgic sausage flavour to me is Sosmix flavour. I don't want "meaty".

But Sosmix is not available in NL so far as I can tell.

Anyway, it turns out that someone has put a sosmix recipe online here which makes a passable substitution (despite having different ingredients). I made some tonight and even though I had to make even more substitutions due to not having a couple of the ingredients to hand, it was a great success.

The natural flavour and texture of sausages is Sosmix flavour and texture.

The original sosmix website is here (for people in the UK: they link to alternativestores which does mail order, but not to EU):
