An anti-vegan sausage expert was left biting his own tongue after branding a plant-based alternative the real deal on live TV.
Mike Perry, who wants people to stop calling vegan alternatives ‘sausages’ was humiliated on the Jeremy Vine show after he failed to recognise that the meal he was eating was not actual meat.
The resurfaced clip, which was widely shared on social media after the show aired, shows the self-proclaimed British expert tasting what he was told were two sausages: one real, and one plant-based.
Mike went on to say one sausage was the real deal, but it turned out he had been eating two plant-based sausage sandwiches – with the real one tucked underneath his desk.

This comes as reports show that a plant-based lifestyle is not always better for your health – and could lead to brittle bones, anemia and hair loss.
Cat lovers have also been reported to put their felines on vegan diets, despite warnings from vets, as one claims it stops them attacking rats.
After going on a rant against vegan alternatives, Mike did his taste test and declared the real sausage tasted like ‘cardboard,’ and the plant-based one was ‘lovely.’
However, Jeremy Vine then informed him that he had in fact tried two vegan sausages, and that the sausage made of real meat had been hidden underneath his desk.

Mike was tasked with trying two sausage sandwiches and to work out which one was which.
After taking a few bits of each sandwich, Mike appeared very confident about his answer.
‘It is absolutely obvious to me that this first one is the false sausage. That is not real sausage, that is cardboard’, he said, brandishing the sandwich in the air.
Viewers said the clip is ‘hilarious’ and gave them their ‘best laugh’ while other encouraged people to try vegan food
‘The second one is clearly real sausage. I can taste the meat in it. It was luscious and lovely – tastes like the one I had this morning. This is the winner,’ he added.
But he was left red-faced when Jeremy Vine then explained the subterfuge, and that Mike had in fact eaten two plant-based sausages.
‘You, I think, are a vegan in disguise’, Jeremy said to a horrified Mike.
‘What an underhanded, downright rotten trick to pull on a man whose reputation now as the great sausage butty king is ruined,’ Mike said.
The ‘expert’ then tried to take back his comments about the vegan alternative, but the trick was complete.
The clip of Mike’s demise has now gone viral, with many people poking fun at the ‘expert’ error.
‘I love it! Even a “sausage expert” is fooled by plant-based sausage. Give vegan a chance,’ one said.
Another said the video gave them their ‘best laugh tonight.’
While one argued that ‘vegan sausages aren’t real sausage,’ another replied: ‘they are though, aren’t they?’
