BYPASS or BUY - Unmeatables Breakfast Links

Breakfast sausage was definitely in my top 3 when it came to my MED (meat eating days). Juicy, salty AF, snappy, ugh, they made breakfast something special for me. I'm always on the hunt for a breakfast link that will give me that same feeling I had growing up eating links.

I've tried the strips from the UNMEATABLE brand before and they weren't it. Now, I'm always willing to go back to a brand and give them another go when they have a decent selection of products in their line. UNMEATABLE is a Canadian company with everything from meatballs to burgers and sausages. Will the breakfast links make up for my poor review on the crispy strips? 

First thing I noticed was the off white, almost pink hue to the links. This not only matched what I saw on the front of the box, but also gave me a traditional breakfast link vibe. They cook from frozen, and I was using them in a hash recipe, so I started by heating up my oil. Once heated, it was as simple as browning them on all sides until nice & seared & cooked through. Out of the skillet, they were nice and caramelized looking and they had a nice smell as well. Unfortunately, that's where things went haywire.

Looks aside, I sliced them up in preparation for adding them to my hash and tried a piece. They were dry :( I didn't find that they had any natural juiciness and they lacked that familiar snap of a traditional sausage. The flavour was also kind of lacking sadly, like, they weren't terrible but I don't think that's a glowing review by any means. I will say that when I assembled and ate the hash, I didn't mind the sausages combined with everything else and my father who eats meat, found them enjoyable.

BYPASS or BUY?

BYPASS - Look, they weren't the worst I've ever had but that's certainly not motivation to go and grab another box. Given that we were divided on whether we liked them or not, because it's my blog, I'll go with my thoughts on them. I'd still suggest you give them a try on your own and form your own opinion because at the end of the day, they worked for what I needed them for and you'll be able to finish the box, love them or hate them.

HAPPY VEG
