I love tofu "fish" sticks. I tend to use this recipe by tofu-n-sprouts: http://tofu-n-sproutz.blogspot.com/2008/02/my-kids-still-get-craving-for-those.html
It is really delicious, and hits that greasy-fried foods spot for me, sans the mercury.

I love those Morningstar Farms Meal Starters steak style strips. I never ate much meat growing up, but my dad cooked a mean steak. It was Asian style, with soy sauce, salt and pepper. It was pretty much the only thing he could cook, but his steak was amazing with a bowl of white rice. Every once in a while, I get a craving for that flavor, and these seitan strips, with some soy sauce, taste JUST like the steak he used to make. Sure, they're a little expensive, and sure, they're processed, but every once in a while I just have to have some steak strips and rice and relive my childhood!

Well, I don't have an interesting story about faux-meat products. Since going vegan 2 years ago, my wife and I have rediscovered the flavor of all things plant. We have even cut back dramatically on tofu as a filler. As the main cook at home, I do not, in the least, miss preparing meat.

I did recently discover seitan at a restaurant, though. I had previously thought the devil was in the details, but apparently he is in this meat substitute.

My two children have, by way of association, become vegan as well (mostly). They understand the health benefits, so it wasn't necessarily a hard sell. However, if my son could have only ONE meat product back, it would be jerky. I would be a hero if a box of "jerky" showed up at my door.

My favorite faux - meat product is soon to be Natural Smoked Flavor Primal Sticks, at least I hope. I have been a veggie for over a decade now and really don’t eat much faux meat anymore. But one of the few meat items I have always missed was jerky! I never have seen faux jerky, and now that I have found out it exists I am filled with excitement for faux Jerky. The thought of ripping into my first Natural Smoked Flavor Primal Stick fills my mouth with euphoric anticipation. Please select me as one of the winners since I have no idea where I could find them in my area.

My favorite are the soy chicken nuggets that Earth Fare sells by the pound. They are not shaped like your ordinary (and I would submit highly processed and therefore scary) chicken nuggets, so their blobby and pimpled appearance keep their goodness secret. The taste and texture are amazing, and my omnivore acquaintances approve. They are too good, in fact, to spoil with heating or sauces, and I eat them straight out of the fridge. Yum.

Oh my goodness!!! I've been a vegitarian for over 3 years now and I still miss slim jims. Most people I know think they are the most disgusting thing, but I loved them. I can't wait to try these (for free?)!

So here is my favorite fake meat per the contest requirements- boca burger vegi crumbles. They are great in my mom's chili recipe that I modified. Yum.

I love morning star faux chicken nuggets. Healthy and yummy!

I have to say I love seitan, I think its meaty texture is a great alt. for chicken. I love to make faux chicken salad with seitan, maple syrup, veganaise, celery seeds,and cranberries.

Gosh, there are so many and I love every one I've tried. I don't agree with those people who shun faux meat products, claiming they're only intended for new vegetarians. I've been veg for 13 years, and I still love, love, love fake meat.

My favorite is probably Light Life Gimme Lean sausage. I actually developed a new recipe using it last night. Here goes:

"Sausage" Sage Soymilk Gravy

2 cups soymilk
1/2 roll Gimme Lean, cooked and crumbled
1/3 cup whole wheat pastry flour
1 tsp. chopped fresh sage
1/2 tsp. onion powder
1/2 tsp. salt
fresh ground pepper, to taste

Combine soymilk, flour, and spices in a saucepan. Heat on medium heat, stirring constantly until mixture thickens (about 5 minutes). Stir in Gimme Lean and serve over vegan whole wheat biscuits.

My favorite faux meat product is the Apple-Sage sausage style Field Roast. Whole ingredients, little to no soy and DELICIOUS!

My favourite faux meat product is probably Boca Chik'n Nuggets. They taste almost exactly like the real thing, except it's cruelty-free and less soggy!

Jerky Haiku Hopes
Tofu Scramble so delish....
Amy's breakfast treat
I don't need no stinking eggs

My favorite is field roast smoke apple sausages. They are so good in the morning or anytime. I like to cook them up with butternut squash ravioli in a sage cream sauce

This is a tough one for me. Big Franks vs. Stripples...I think Stripples come out on top though. There is nothing like the soft crunch and flavor of a stripple toasted to perfection!

I love tofu because meat is murder

Hey! My favorite meatless product is Loma Linda's BIG FRANKS. They are so darn tasty. Whenever I'm craving a meaty taste I just warm up one of those bad boys. They're so good, my 8 month old daughter even loves to share one with me.

I cant wait to try some, where can I buy?

My favorite vegetarian product will have to be the frozen indian veggie burgers at Trader Joe's. It blend my favorite ethnic food along with the greatest of being a vegetarian into one meal. Despite being a vegetarian since the minute I was born, I only recently discovered these wondrous patties and they have grown to be what I crave.

In general, my favorite fake meat products are the Primal Strips as a snack and Gardenburger's Meatless Riblets. Those are great on toast with lettuce, all dolled up, or just great by themselves. However, the best faux-meat product I ever had was 'lupin,' which I ate quite a lot of while living in France. It's a great source of protein with a texture similar to seitan, but even more versatile.

In general, I save money by making my own seitan at home. I sometimes follow the traditional recipe (the salty/soy sauce version), but have also manipulated it a bit to make a sort of "maple glazed" faux meat. Good stuff!

I just started my new vegan ifestyle about a month ago and I have found it easy to do, but hard at the same time. I'm the only vegan in my entire family, I love to cook and I cook daily for my husband and daughter, and it is very hard in the area that I live at (plus my budget!) to find vegan alternatives such as egg replacer so I have learned to work with what I got. My favorite faux-meat product so far have been the all famous Vegan Boca burgers!! And let me tell you I've tried others and I have to say Boca is the absolute best!!

What I do is make my boca burger as my meat for our family meals and pretty much try to season it the same. For example, I added barbecue sauce and made me a barbecue (I made sure it was vegan!) sandwhich! OH SO YUMMY! I've added Montreal Steak Seasoning to make it like a steak and lightly fried it in a little oil in a small skillet! Yummy too!! And I have yet to try so many more dressings such as a good vegan homemade teriyaki sauce, marinaded then "sauted" with onions and garlic!

Same goes for some good marinated grilled portabello mushrooms! They are just as yummy as a burger too!
And wanna know the funniest part, before I was even a vegan..I didn't even like burgers! I only ate em when I had too when there was nothing else to eat!

I looooooooooved jerky as a kid. Little did I realize then that I was a vegan in the making since I abhored any animal products that actually looked like animals or had icky parts like veins, fat, and blood. Consequently, I would only eat highly-processed meat like jerky. I loved jerky so much that once for Valentine's Day my mom bought a big giant heart-shaped box full of chocolates. She removed the chocolate and filled the box with jerky! I was in heaven and I ate jerky for months.

I've been vegetarian now for over 18 years and I always missed jerky. I'd tried many fake jerky brands over the years but they were either too hard, too dry, too flavorless, or too greasy. Then I found Primal Strips jerky at my local food co-op and I did the cabbage patch while I sang "Primal Strips, are bringin' jerky back, yeah bringin' jerky back!" The Primal Strips made from seitan are my faves since I try not to overdo it on soy (they also have some made from mushrooms that I haven't tried yet because I love my Thai Lime flavor so much : ). Primal Strips are so awesome that the only way they could make them better is if they sold them in a bigger bulk pack. (I know they have the multi-strip pack but it's too little. I think they have sorely underestimated the girth of my love for jerky.)

I'm really excited about the Primal Stix since I also looooooved Slim Jims disgusting meat and chemical combos in a handy thin plastic sheath! I never dreamed I'd get to eat anything similar again. But, I'm prepared to do the dance again..."Primal Stix, are bringin' meat stix back, yeah bringin' meat stix back!" Ahhhh, life is good for a happy vegan. Now I can have the best of both worlds thanks To Primal Stix– a clear conscience in my head, and faux meat-stix in my hand! It truly is a day worth celebrating!

So to keep it short(ish) and sweet and hopefully win some tasty jerky I'll attempt to pick a favorite fake meat out of the MANY amazing options.... though in all honesty I think the "meat" choice depends on the event and/or craving!
-grilling= tofurky sun dried tomato brat's
-fried goodness= lightly flour/salt/pepper tofu slices and pan fry in olive oil, serve with braggs/tamari sauce
-tofu can even be made into a dessert- saute with apples, sugar and cinnamon until the sugar caramelizes!
-and locally made tempeh to replace meat in anything!

The one thing that reminds me of summer is a hot dog with chili and drippy cheese. So messy you were forced to sit outside on the porch to eat it, with the dog as the vacuum cleaner to get what you might have dropped.

Now-a-days with meat no longer in my system I like to recreate my childhood with Morningstar Farms Veggie Dogs (grilled of course!) and chili made with their meal starter crumbles. Melt down the cheese of your choice, and head outside...this time your dog will get a healthier and just as delicious snack to vacuum up...if you don't get it all first! =D

My husband and i have been vegetarians for several years. Its hard to find your products locally.

Soy "Popcorn" chicken from Whole Foods. It smells and tastes like popcorn chicken but w/o the nasty fried breading. These are so good. At lunch the other day my friend (a non-veggie)thought it was real chicken!
Tricked YA :)

I do love fake jerky.

I'm a super on the go girl, so I don't always have time for a full course meal. And being veggie and health conscious isn't always easy when on the go food is usually greasy burgers, etc. The local co-op recently started carrying your products, so now I keep Primal Sticks in my car to munch on in times of hunger. Actually just last night I was wielding through traffic trying to rip open the package with my teeth....

I have been a vegetarian for over 20 years and a vegan for two years. I was given a recipe for Tofu jerky from the 'How it All Vegan' cookbook and started making it years ago. I was constantly getting requests for the tasty treats and the recipe from my meat eating friends. I would be interested to see if your product were as good as the home made version which takes 24 hours of marinating and approx. eight hours in a low oven to dry.

My favorite veggie product is the Morningstar Farms BBQ Riblets. They are great and frozen. You just pop them in the microwave with a baked potatoe and the fastest most delicious meal you will ever have. Just throw some margerine and some soy sour cream on there and wa-la you have your self and delicious meal. Julia has the right idea too. Yum veggie chili and cheese dog. Thanks for all your great ideas everyone. MMM... MMM... I love being a veggie.

I'm both a teenager and a vegetarian, so it's difficult to actually eat a proper lunch at school. But the tasty foods created by companies like MorningStar and others have made it easier for me to eat without murdering innocent animals.

MEAT IS MURDER!

Sweet, sweet tender bits, how I love thee. You pretend to be chicken, but you're cruelty free!

(made by Worthington/Loma Linda)

I love these vegie sticks and the primal strips are my favorite...No interesting story just a love of this food.
My husband loves the nuggets...I am so glad he turned vegetarian.

I have been a vegetarian since I was 14 (now 63). I am thrilled with all the new faux meat products on the market these days. My family loves Tofurky slices and the roast. It comes with a "jerky style" wish bone which I love. I hope the new veggie "jerky" is similar.Life has become much more simple for me since vegetarianism has become popular. I used to have to make faux meats from scratch for my family. I live in Nova Scotia and not alot faux meats are available up here.I am seriously considering opening a Veggie food store in my area. Most health food stores here carry mostly vitamins. Faux meat is minimal in the grocery stores. The 7th Day Adventist Church sells some foods, but only once a month for 1 hour which makes it difficult.

All varieties of Primal Strips make a delicious, nutritious quick grab-a-lunch. One of my favorite tofu dishes is butcher fingers. I cut extra-firm into strips and then bread them in Shake-n-Bake. They neither bleed nor cry and are yummy. If carnivores can have chicken fingers we can enjoy butcher fingers!

i just educated a co-worker about "what vegetarians eat" i told him cookies and cheese. but in all seriousness i am really digging the new gourmet gardenburger patties!

I must say that i love making recipes that completely contradict the slimy disgusting tofu steryotypes that people have in their mind about the flavorless white block. My favorite recipe by far is just taking tofu, chopping it up very small, sautee it with salt, pepper, taco seasoning, any veggie of your choice (i like peppers and onions) and serving it up with a corn tortilla, lettuce, tomatoes, vegan sour cream, and salsa. I find my mouth watering now just thinking about it.....

I LOVE Morningstar Farms version of chicken nuggets. I have even tricked a few carnivores with them.

"Wait, if you are eating these, that means ... they are vegan? NO WAY!"

So many beings are happy whem I eat Whole Foods brand Rosemary "Chicken" -- the chicken who wouldn't be in apostrophes, the earth with a little less polution, the air with less carbon, and me -- with a tasty treat with NO GUILT!

My husband has become the reluctant vegan.

I told him I would make dinner, but it would include my pseudo-meats, and vegan ingredients. He agreed to eat the meals, but they had to taste like 'man food'.

He actually enjoys some of the dishes I cook for him: (He has done 'just enough' research to have picked up bits and pieces of veg cuisine) His favorite is something he refers to as 'Boof Trees', which is a vegan cheeseburger macaroni (again, he knows just enough to know that fake meats usually have names that replace a letter, or rhyme with the actual meat - and he gets the 'trees' from hearing me say 'Chreese'). Another winner is barbecued tofu with Mexican rice (man food).

I guess though I have to say our favorite faux meat is probably, by default, Seitan - Billy thinks the name is hilarious, and laughs every time I say it.

He often requests that I cook him "some of that devil chicken with the 'taters".

** I've tried the Primal Strips (they're great), but never the long skinny ones - I bet those would qualify as 'man food' - and get him away from the slim jims! **

I didn't really care for real jerky before I became vegan, however since being vegan for some strange reason I really crave the stuff. Oddly enough I also crave the most random things such as faux chicken nuggets, some serious good fried tofu, or a good old nice tall glass of soy milk. Which is completely odd because I never craved a thing before I went vegan, well except for your occasional cookie or cake craving, which I still get and have renewed my love for vegan sweets. There is nothing more magical than creating something that is vegan and yet can fool all those "normal" (that's what my family calls themselves) people. OH YUM!!

Hi. I wanted to share with everyone how good meatloaf could be if you left out the animal ingredients. Mix a bag of Lightlife crumbles, a roll of Lightlife Meatball mix (replaces need for egg yolks), make some fresh bread crumbs (1/2 cup or so), cut up some garlic (a few cloves), Italian green peppers (at least one whole), sweet onion (1/2 or more), olive oil (at least a 1/4 cup), Veggie beef bouillon cube (CelifibR is great) w/ water (as directed on box), liquid smoke (one or two cap fulls: it is quite potent), Cajun seasoning, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper (anything else you may think adds flavor), and bake in a loaf pan for 1 1/2 to 2 hours at around 350. You can fill the pan with a veggie soup base (if you don't mix in the bouillon and water mix) and watch it all get absorbed, moist and tender. A good tip is to use a turkey baster and keep on injecting the loaf with more soup. It is a bit of work, but very worth the effort. It is fake meat comfort food at its best. My roommate who hates all vegetarian food has requested that I make this on a few occasions now. Just serve with Mashed potatoes and some corn!

Since i just recently became vegan (a couple of months ago), i wasnt able to try all of the faux meat on the market.. yet. But, so far, i love anything that could replace the cruel meat. Anything that could help me save animal's lives and be healthier catches my attention. Tofu, soy, and portabello mushrooms make great alternatives; they are good for me as well!

Two items I love, but are hard to locate, Garden Gourmet ( not Garden Burger ) veggie burgers, you see the pieces of vegetable sticking out of them, they are made in Israel, maybe that explains why they are so hard to find. The other one is Franklin Farms portobello hotdogs. FF is a popular mushroom distributor around my area, the NYC vicinity, and stop n shop used to cary them, but no more. the secret to cooking them, as with all veg dogs is to steam them over chili and then serve them on nice buns with good mustard and fresh minced onion. Tofurky Italian sausage has also fooled more than one of my non-veg friends too. This is a great posting, I am taking notes on what everyone else eats and am going to be trying some new stuff, and after 12 yrs veg that's a plus, and bless that gal from Nova Scotia a veg for what 49 yrs? You go babe, and let us know if you start a store, we'll be sure to drop in if and when we're in them parts. peace all joe jacovino

My favorite fake meat product is probably Smart Bacon, because it's my favorite vegan bacon substitute and I think it tastes good on or with anything. I've actually had the primal sticks before, and they are also delicious. I also love tofurky Italian sausages and kielbasas because I never really liked either of the non-vegan versions of those before I went vegan.

I'm trying very hard to convert....please tell me why tofu and soymilk is bad? I was just getting my picky 7 yr. old son to appreciate these.....trying very hard to convert. What NOW? Why is soy BAD now?????

My favorite fake meat is the riblets by garden burger. They are so good my husband a total carnivore eats them up!

like alot of people, i don't really have a funny story, i'd just like to win some 'jims. when i became a vegetarian years ago, i would crack up at the names of stuff-"fakin' bacon, tofu pups, smart dogs." i can't even remember them all now. but my favorite meal would have to be broiled portabello mushrooms with A1 sauce, french fries with ketchup and good old (soy) buttered white bread. that meal brings back memories of my childhood favorite meal, except back then, the mushroom was of course a big T-bone steak. my specialty is making vegan versions of old family favorites, like halupki (cabbage rolls), hot sausage with peppers and onions, etc. i have fooled many a meat eater. it's hilarious!! they have NO idea. anyway, if i don't win, i'll probably order some. thanks

My favorite faux-meats so far are Boca Crumbles (I put them in chili and spaghetti sauce), original Boca Burgers (closest to the real thing I've tasted) and Morningstar Farms Chik'n Nuggets (just like the ones my grandmother made!). For something a little more exotic, I like the Morningstar Sundried Tomato and Basil Burgers (though it does have some mozzarella in it, so be forewarned), just plain on a plate with a fork! I do want to try the grilled chik'n strips and steak strips. My husband, who is still an omnivore, makes a beef and broccoli stir-fry, and I want him to make some with the Morningstar steak strips for me! I REALLY want to try the jerky on him, too, since so far he likes the Boca chili and spaghetti I make him!

My Favorite faux meat product is seitan, it is so easy to make yourself and can be prepared in so many diiferent ways. I can even throw it on bread with Veganaise and pack it for my lunch.

I love Bocca Vegan nuggets and ground Bocca meat.

One of my favorite vegetarian dishes is "Orange Chicken". We have a local all-vegetarian restaurant called "Garden Cafe". They are mostly Asian cuisine, but also dabble in more American dishes. Oh, the incredible things they do with faux meats!. It inspired me to make my own Orange Chicken from home using tofu and serving it over either brown rice or quinoa. Not quite as good as their's but pretty darn good, if I do say so. One of my favorite things to make at home!

My favorite meatless dish is Tofu Scramble with zucchini, squash, celerey, onions, and a little bit of grated carrot. Through in some cumin, salt n'pepper and you have the breakfast of champions.

Quorn Quorn Quorn!!! I love this stuff. I'll take it over Morningstar Farms chick patties/nuggets any day (even though I LOOOOVE those). Quorn products are made of out mycoprotein which is from mushrooms, and man then texture and the flavor are totally perfect! they make fake chicken and turkey products, and their meatballs are to die for! The only place that I've found Quorn (and where I discovered it) is at Whole Foods. try it!

The newest pre peckaged product I have found is Morning Star Riblets.
I'm a big BBQ sause fan, and these are DELICIOUS.
I would love to try some Jerky, as I couldn't eat it as a child...the thought of what I was knawing on!

I've been a vegetarian since I was 7 and am nearly 100% vegan. I have 4 children all of whom I am raising as near vegans. My 2 oldest were converts and enjoy some "faux" meat products and so does my new husband (also newly converted). I however, do not consume any of them because I grew up not ever eating any meat or fake meat, so my diet is all plant based and looks that way! I'm not a big proponent of the psychological concept of "faux" meat since it seems to apply that "meat" is any kind of dietary requirement and if abstaining from that, you need some kind of replacement. This is not true. However, converts (esp my hubbie) need those "faux" meat products to quell their cravings and prevent them from slipping. With that said, I go simple and use TVP with all kinds of seasonings/sauces to make everything from Sloppy Joes to meatloaf. My hubbie loves Seitan used in good old southern greens recipes and my son will eat everything the Quorn company makes. In fact, I need to buy stock in that company since so much of my money goes there! I would love to get these to give my husband. We have a hard time finding too many vegan products in our area and with 5 kids, expenses can be pretty tight.

I have to say that my favorite is my homemade seitan roast. I use the recipe from Vegan Vittles. This roast is so versitle. Meal 1 was roast with mashed potatoes and gravy. Meal 2 BBQ "beef" (made from leftover roast)over potatoes with broccoli. Meal 3, Good old "Roast Beef" sammies on homemade 9 grain bread with vegan mayo, lettuce, and tomato. Meal 4 comforting "Meatloaf" from Vegan Vittles using, Yes, left over roast along with country potatoes, corn and broccoli. Hands down, Vegan Vittles recipe for "roast beef" wins our hearts.

My fave fake meat product is Smart Dogs! You just can't beat them for great flavor and texture. They really hit the spot and taste great with all the typical toppings such as suateed onions, sauerkraut, relish, mustard and anything else including vegan chili! Yummy!

There is nothing better than seitan in terms of versatility! I have made seitan chicken pot pie, seitan stroganoff, seitan parmigiana, and last week, I had seitan scallopini with a lemon caper sauce. Delicious! I pretty much try to take all of my old favorites from my pre-veg days and make them veg, so I have found seitan is really the best substitute.

I love black bean burgers-they are my favorite faux meat. Even my husband who is anti-faux meat loves them. They don't need to taste like a burger, they are great in their own right which is even better!

My favorite faux meat product is the chicken style seitan my boyfriend Anthony makes to put in chicken Caesar salads.

I stopped eating meat over a year ago, but i'm still trying to figure out how to go vegan. I run ALOT and work out 5 times a week. I still end up eating things with eggs in them pretty frequently. Any advice?

My favorite are Boca Vegan Burgers...mmmmeaty without all of that horrible unethical killing!

I also recommend Vegan Gourment cheese. It melts! It's excellent!

Let us rise above Speciesism together!

Before I went vegetarian, I used to love getting up in the morning and making huge batches of biscuits, sausage gravy, eggs, etc...I have always been a breakfast person. Since realizing eggs and sausage does not a humane meal make, I've become a vegan "sausage gravy" addict. As a musician, I'm totally excited to see vegan jerky, because when I'm on the road with my band I can't help but miss eating slim jims in the van.

I have recently gone vegetarian and I really have not missed meat yet. I did for health reasons and hope that by my birthday in May to be completely vegetarian. I have been cooking a lot for my boyfriend and he has liked everything and even thought that Morningstar's ground "beef" was real meat till I told him. He loves jerky and this could be a great way to show him how easy it is to go vegetarian too. I love him regardless but it'd be nice if he shared this same passion.

True to my Southern roots, I grew up on fried chicken. While my veg transition back in November was seamless, I do crave this ubiquitous comfort food every now and then.

However, my inventive creation of chicken and waffles using my favorite faux meat product, Morning Star Chik'N Strips, puts white meat to shame. Here's the recipe...

Ingredients:
Egg
Morning Star Chik'N Strips
Cooking Oil
Flour
Waffles

Soak several strips of chik'n in an egg for a couple of minutes. Batter the chik'n strips with seasoned flour and lightly fry in your oil of choice (I use Smart Choice) until golden and crispy.

Pair with waffles. If you don't have the time or resources to make homemade waffles, I recommend Kashi's Honey Oat Waffles. Drizzle the chicken and waffles with honey and enjoy a gourmet meal in the comfort of your own home.

I have never tried jerky, but would be interested to try this

My fave are Linda McCartney's sausage rolls, mmmmmm

Quorn is nice too, but unfortunately not vegan

I use either MorningStar Veggie Chik'n strips/nuggets/patties or meal starters and make Pineapple chik'n. I love the citrus flavor of it, i also enjoy orange chik'n, pineapple-orange chik'n, and lemon chik'n. I bake the chik'n some times right in the marinade, to soak in the flavor, or bake it alone to get crisp. I add ginger, soy sauce, pineapple/orange/lemon juice, some spices to taste. I make rice on the side, and fresh veggies with it. it looks and tastes great!
I also enjoy the chik'n "plain", on a sandwich, or dunk the nuggets in sauce. I love MorningStar veggie burgers, sometimes with vegan cheese and or Morningstar bacon. or smart bacon. I love the Smart deli meat on sandwiches.
I love smart ground beef, and make tacos with the mix stuff you can buy. mmmm...

and of course, i love my fruits and veggies!

I really hope i can get a chance to try these Primal Sticks!

Morning star chicken nuggets are by far my favorite! They taste so much like the real thing that even my meat-loving boyfriend loves them. So yummy :)

My favorie meatless items are the Publix meatless crumbles and the Boca meatless crumbles. I normally don't cook that much but I am learning. I have been on the kick of making meat and cheese quesadillas. I use Jalepeno tortilla shells, if anybody is from Texas and has been to the HEB grocery store you know what I am talking about. My parents live in TX and everytime they come visit me I tell them to bring me some. I also, like the quorn and morningstar products.

I am a new covert, as in 6 days...I just got home from visitng my daughter for 5 days. They have just been vegetarian for 6 months. She use to make this rice dish, which I dearly loved. (No matter how many times she adjusted the recipe, there was never any leftovers.)Well she made it one evening and used the Morning Star beef crumbles...I couldn't tell any difference in the texture! I think it tasted even better, than it use to...Im so excited, wish I had done this years ago..I can't wait to try all of the meatless products...Will post the recipe for the rice dish soon.

I love to bake up some faux corn dogs by morningstar! Oh my, I have even tricked some unsuspecting relatives, they think they are regular corndogs! As if I would even buy that!
I used to love a spicy slim jim, so I am excited to taste these! I hope my whole foods or fruitful yields has them...or that I am lucky enough to win the sampler here! Thanks for the chance! And thanks to everyone who commented for all the great ideas!
Go Veggies!!!

yo whats happen on the veggie front? Well, Carrot's are bedding with raddish's and carrying on a conversation with lettuce's, on how to come-up with the purfect confection. They all decided on a stick called faux-meat for veg. made by veggies for veggies. There were No complaints from the walking plants.

It's a hard choice for me between Morningstar Farms faux chicken nuggets and Trader Joe's new faux beef strips. I love the chicken nuggets dipped in some melted Earth Balance and hot sauce and eaten just like buffalo chicken nuggets. YUM! But then again, the beef strips are so much like real meat, I kept checking the package to make sure I hadn't picked up the wrong thing by accident! Even my husband, who is a meat eater, looked at them and told me that if I gave him them for dinner, he didn't think he would know they weren't meat. I don't miss many things since becoming a veggie; however, I do think about a slim jim now and then and would love to try this product!

I've never tried vegan jerky before and I've been a vegetarian since I was born so it would be an interesting experience.
I'm raising my daughter vegetarian now as well and it's wonderful to see how much she enjoys all the faux meat products. She really likes the Morning Star Chicken Nuggets.

I use to eat beef jerky, but over the years I've become more health conscious and gave it up as well as any processed meats that contain sodium nitrate, etc. So I would love to try Primal Sticks. My fav is firm tofu cut up into cubes and sauteed until brown then sprinkled with vegee grated cheese. Great snack while watching a video. In fact my brother who loved to eat and never had tofu, loved them. Please Please pick me!!!!

I did not like the primal stips as much as I LOVED the stonewall's veg jerquee!

I have been vegitarian for over a year and I loved the stonewall's jerquee and I am sure that you will love it to.

I love veggie corn dogs. So far every brand I have tried is delicious. They truly taste like meat-based corn dogs, are far healthier and inexpensive. I rave about them to anyone who will listen.

when i was younger i worked at mcdonalds. i ate a lot of their burgers back then. once i went vegan later on in life, i tried fake meat burgers. i noticed that the soy burgers taste very similar to mcdonalds burgers. they apparently use at least partial soy filler. so i tell people that if they like mcdonalds burgers, they will like soy burgers. this always gets their attention.
