not sure why this would upset anyone. if you dont want the Veg option then dont have one

Not sure why this is a big deal when there is a sausage sizzle every other week and people who don’t eat sausages have not option. Bunnings is a hardware store not a takeaway food outlet. And it’s for charity, so experiment and try this or if you go to Bunnings strictly for the sausage sizzle you only need to wait one week.

People will always complain but maybe they could have offered a choice to customers. To me there isn’t any taste difference between the meat-free and meat products available so I wouldn’t have minded eating either.

Why not they can raise more money which is what it’s for

I bet it would prob taste the same

I don’t mid the idea – I think it’s good to give people the option, although I wouldn’t buy one, I love my sausage to have meat!

Simple, if you don’t like vegan, don’t purchase a vegan sausage. I imagine it’s only for one week, and as long as it’s advertised as vegan people can make a choice.

It may not be Australia but it will be great for people who for genuine medical reasons cannot have dairy at all —-or any food that has come into contact with it. They don’t supply epi-pens for people with that or medication allergies. I know a man who actually stopped breathing and had to be rushed to hospital only recently because of traces of a dairy product. Take a look at the ingredients on a lot of packaging. It is astounding how many items either contain or have traces of dairy. It could be Whey Powder (is from dairy milk) Milk Powder, Lactose (in dairy milk). Others including babies vomit whole meals and (other fluids which means dehydration as well) and have to be taken to hospital for treatment……Some sausages have / had milk powder in them. Some sausages have wheat flour in them – a lot of people have wheat allergy or are allergic to the protein in wheat, barley, rye, and in most cases also oats which means they need Gluten Free Sausages. Such Sufferers miss out on so many basic meals and treats

It’s good to have the option but I’m not going to try them. There is never a sausage sizzle when I go to Bunnings so it’s not a problem for me. Also you can’t call it a sausage sizzle if there’s no meat.

  Yes I agree an option would be good. Just as much a vegan wouldn’t like to eat meat, a meat eater might not like to eat vegan

We had a vegan sausages day at our local Bunnings over a year ago. Apparently it was successful, but it’s not my cup of tea so I just didn’t buy One that weekend.

Yes a vegetarian and vegan option is good ! 4 of us are vegetarian and 1 of those is also diary free. I don’t know how often my kids have missed out on a food of their choice in restaurants and places like Bunnings and McDonalds simply because there’s no option available, but I can tell you it’s very very frequent.

I’d like to know if it will still be the same price? These types of products are usually expensive. Also really don’t think it should be vegan only- set it up to do both.

I’d like to try one 🙂

I honestly don’t mind. I welcome anything that is cruelty free!
I bet a lot of people won’t even be able to tell the difference unless someone says something.

They probably wouldn’t even be able to tell the difference if they weren’t told. I’d buy one

I don’t mind trying it if it’s once off but not if it becomes a regular thing.

I suppose some people don’t want to eat meat?

Nope nope and nope. Sounds disgusting

I wouldn’t choose it, but I don’t see why it shouldn’t be available fr others.

I don’t mind a vegan option. It’s a special event. I’m sure that the regular sausage sizzle will be back next time.
