1. They sell good Veggie Burgers at Trader Joe's

I can't think of the brand name but I have tried so many different kinds and they are the best.

They are kind of spicy but they are so good.

That reminds me I have to pick some up at Trader Joe's tomorrow because I now have a mad craving for them.

15. Good veggie burger

is an oxymoron.

As an aside, I think it's the name scam. If it's a veggie, call it a veggie. When I hear burger, my nouth expects MEAT.

2. I like something called Granburger

It is great in tomato pasta sauce and really good in lasagna!:9

3. Black bean burgers are good

and homemade tofu omelettes and other stuff with tofu

4. off brand hotdogs?

Taste wretched like most fake meat, and probably has no real meat in them.

6. Silly wabbit! Non-meat meat isn't "fake meat."

It's a type of food. Tastes great if that's what you are expecting. Probably tastes wretched if you are really craving meat, instead.

As for off-brand hot dogs-- Ech! You have courage. You should be in one of those beer commercial tributes to modern heroes if you can eat those. When I ate meat, the only thing worse than thinking about where the meat came from was realizing you had no idea where the meat came from.

5. Portobello mushrooms are the only food I've ever found that really

made me not miss meat.

[jobycom]

7. Way off topic

But aren't you from Mississippi? Think I saw that somewhere.

13. Yeah, marinated and grilled portabellos

now that I know the spouse isn't down here....almost better than..Oh I forgot we aren't talking about THAT on DU!!!!

8. OH! "Smart Bacon"

Put out by "LightLife" I can only find this at WalMart (belive it or not). This stuff, if you cook it right, is really good. Use it in a blt (I hate tomatoes personally, so my fave sandwich with this stuff is a bt, I guess) and its really good.

Its meat-free, nitrite-free, msg-free, and its gooood. Soy, of course.

Btw, certain Boca Burgers are really good too, imho. The "All American" and the "cheeseburger" varieties - pretty good.

9. Morningstar Farms Chik Patties...

although I do not eat them ever since I found out that Kellogg owned MF thus GMO's in the product. My local Wegmanns keeps Morningstar Farms products completely seperate from the health food/vegetarian area for this reason.

[jobycom]

10. Hmm. The Randalls near my house does that, too. Wonder if that's why

They keep Morningstar seperate from the other vegetarian stuff. I wonder if that's why, or if it's just a vendor/merchandising thing.

11. Could it be....SEITAN?

Works for me.

[jobycom]

14. But you didn't vote for seitan? nt

12. I like the fishsteaks made from some meat subsititute

the texture seems realistic.

16. MorningStar Farms Chiken Pot Pies

yummy!

[Abaques]

17. The stuff they fed me in the high school lunch line...

They called it meat, but it wasn't meat.

[Philosophy]

18. Beggin Strips

You know - the doggie treat? Way more tasty than dry dog food.

19. Lightlife Food SmartGroundTaco filling

Incredibly realistic ground beef texture with excellent flavor!

20. Check out the Quorn UK website

Lots more choice in the UK and I love it

21. Eringi Mushroom and the 'Beefstake' mushroom...

Both taste VERY much like meat....the beefstake mushroom is even reddish inside and oozes a reddish fluid (like raw meat) until cooked.

Unfortualtely, both are hard to comeby in the US. Try asian markets if you want some.

23. Find a good kosher dairy restaurant...

and you'll feel like you just downed a great steak.

(gawd, I miss The Dairy Planet in downtown NYC)

btw, I had some veggie lasagna the other day, and it was suprisingly good.

[Endangered Specie]

24. Ain't no such thing as 'non-meat' meat.

Its either meat or it isn't.

Non meat 'meat' tastes like non-shit shit.

It is a sin.

[Mass_Liberal]

25. veggie meat is the most horrific thing ever

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK. It scares me..:puke:

[Kolesar]

26. Gardenburgers, and they are a darn quick meal

If I don't have anything else ready to go, a Gardenburger is my choice. I find them rather indulgent. I think the pizza one is the best.
