Hey there! Welcome to the boards! I am Canadian as well, I know it is a little harder to find stuff but you can do it.. just takes some searching! Like everyone else, I looove Silk Soy Milk. Chocolate silk is *very* yummy. For soy cheese, you have to be really careful in that some of it is *awful*. My favourite for soy mozarella (and it makes a really good pizza is called "SOYA" and has different flavoured "loafs" (like cheddar, mozarella, etc). It is the only soy cheese I've ever had that I really, really like. It is made in BC, I believe, so you may have a hard time finding it. I am wondering if you can order it.. For treats, "tofutti" products are really good. I like "tofutti cutie" ice cream sandwiches. I have only found them at "Save on Foods". You can get "Luna Bars" at most places. They are soy based nutrition bars for women. I have tried many different kinds of soy yogurt (so you can find it), but I haven't enjoyed any that I have found so far so I have no name recommendations for you on that one, unfortunately. You can also probably find quite a few "Yves" products in your grocery store for soy replacement pepperoni, hotdogs, chicken peices, hamburger, etc. Another brand is "Amys" and they make some ready meals and things like burritos and pizzas and stuff that have either soy stuff, or just no cheese or dairy products. I have found some at my local Safeway, but have had to go out to Organic Grocery stores for a bigger selection.
If you are just talking about regular food, a lot of the stuff that people talk about in the US we can get here. I live on Motts unsweetened applesauce cups, pretzel sticks, Quaker caramel flavoured rice cakes, etc.
Oh, and if you haven't already, take a look at this: Brand Name Foods as it has a few other Canadian things (it's at the bottom) that I didn't mention!
Good luck!
Steph
