"The plant-based meat brand Beyond landed in last place in our ranking of breakfast sausages, which might not come as a surprise to meat eaters. But Beyond has managed to create fake meat that tastes surprisingly like the real thing; we certainly thought their newest stack burgers could pass for beef. Unfortunately, Beyond's breakfast sausage patties miss the mark entirely, especially with texture and juiciness."
"In its characteristic fashion, Beyond does an adequate job at imitating the savory umami of pork. However, the sausage patty lacked the spices and herbs that make breakfast sausage, breakfast sausage. The only seasoning we tasted was salt, and way too much of it at that. But where this sausage really went downhill was texture. We wanted a chewy yet tender sausage patty bursting with flavorful juices but what we got was a rubbery, wet puck."
Ten breakfast sausage brands were evaluated for taste, texture, and juiciness. Beyond breakfast sausage patties scored last due to poor texture and lack of characteristic seasoning. The patties delivered an overall savory umami reminiscent of pork but missed the sage-forward spice blend and hint of sweetness central to breakfast sausage. Saltiness dominated the flavor profile. The patties exhibited a rubbery, wet consistency rather than a chewy-yet-tender, juicy bite. Some online reviewers described the product as greasy with an odd texture and likened it to low-quality meat, reinforcing the negative assessment.
