I used to say the same thing about soy burgers. My husband used to say: "Ye of little faith...." Soy burgers are actually pretty tasty. Boca burgers and sausage links/patties are good and Yves meat products are very good. I'm not a big fan of Morning Star producs. Just be sure to check for dairy in the ingredients. Many of them have cheese. I just go with the Boca flame broiled vegan patties and doctor them up the way I would a normal burger.
Here's a list of products and brands. It includes meats, dairies, and some snacky type things.
"Dairy" products Blue Diamond Almond Milk (Chocolate can be heated on the stove and makes an excellent hot chocolate) 8th Continent Soy Milk Trader Joe's Soy Milk Silk Soy Milk Tofutti (Check out http://tofutti.com/) Tofutti has a ton of products (alternatives for almost everything dairy) and reps from Tofutti have told me that stores on the east coast (USA) carry many more selections than on the west coast. Many small health food stores will special order products if you ask them. Just take a UPC or know the exact brand and item name.
Cheese Veggie slices and shreds Soy-Sation cheese blocks (actually melts like cheese)
Yogurt & Sour Cream Tofutti Supreme Sour Cream Silk, Nancy's, and Trader Joe's soy yogurts
Sauces, Soups and Ready Meals Prego Organic sauces Del Monte spaghetti sauce (no HFCS) Imagine Soups (tomato, mushroom, butternut squash) Amy's no-cheese pizza (I put soy cheese on it)
Meat/Meat Subs/Fish/Tofu The entire Yves line for meat alts (the pepperoni is so tasty) Gardenburger soy burgers Boca soy burgers, sausage, ground round Seafood: Catfish, White Ruffy, Shrimp, Tilapia, Salmon (baked, steamed, broiled, grilled)
Drinks Trader Joe's Mango Nectar Country Time Lemonade mix Tropicana no-pulp, low-acid orange juice.
Teas Celestial Seasonings Bengal Spice (no caffeine, has a very strong cinnamon flavor)
Frozen Yogurt/Ice Cream/Sorbet Tofutti Cuties and Ice Cream Soy Dream (Vanilla and Mango Vanilla especially)
Bars, Candy, Cookies and Chips Trader Joe's Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies Tostitos Trader Joe's dried fruit (banana chips and unsulfered sweetened mango slices) Snyder's of Hanover Pretzels (sticks and snaps and garlic nibblers are great) (some of their flavors have lactose in them)
Breakfast Cereal Kellogg's Corn Pops Cheerios
Restaurant dishes Subway Sandwiches
Miscellaneous Trader Joe's Organic-free range-veggie fed-chicken Eggs (I can tolerate yolks) Trader Joe's Bird Nests (in the frozen section) Trader Joe's Stir-fried vegetable Egg Rolls (in the frozen section) Green Giant tender asparagus spears (canned) Any brand Canola oil cooking spray (as long as it is only canola oil in the can)
Bread/Pasta/Noodles/Rice Trader Joe's Bagels (plain and onion-yum!) Mission Tortillas (I usually use tortillas in place of bread, buns, rolls, etc for almost everything that would need one of those. Golden Grain Mission pastas (that's what is in my cupboard right now but I've never had trouble with any pasta) Rice a Roni (chicken, mushroom, chicken with broccoli, use a small amount of canola oil in place of butter) Trader Joe's Organic pastas
