Nice review! I've always been curious about the vegetarian all-day breakfast. I love the regular one, but had never tried its vegetarian counterpart. It sounds like it's a winner too.

Thanks for the kind responses everyone.

Today - this:

Sausages (turkey) with vegetables.

This was okay, but not wonderful.

The sausages are the same type as in every other meat sausage pack as far as I can tell, not as firm as a real sausage, more like a tinned Hotdog. But are pleasant enough in a homely way and they taste fine. There were four or five of them I think (I must remember to count next time!)

The vegetables are, well, a bit bland. Potatoes, carrots, peas, onions, all quite soft, all in need of some herbs or spice or the addition of some Ooomf!

A bit of tabasco might be the thing, or tomato ketchup, brown sauce, I suppose even salt and pepper might liven these up.

Crispy croutons would help also.

At the end one is feeling a little fuller (for it is a full meal) but not enriched by life's great culinary tapestry in any way.

Verdict: Not appalling, but I'll happily swap for almost anything else I have tried.
