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.

Veggie slices and shreds
Soy-Sation cheese blocks (actually melts like cheese)
