Actually when the kids were younger, (and I worked in a health food store so got a healthy discount ) they would use vanilla flavored soy milk (well chilled) on their cereal (hot or cold) instead of cow milk--and would actually refuse to eat if we were out!

We have a Chinese buffet in town (20 mi. up the road) which is to die for! My absolute favorite of all is the hot and sour soup--I've tried the soup at every Oriental place we go (and we try them all), but this place makes the BEST. It usually has a goodly amount of tofu in it and would be less tasty without, I'm sure. And you simply cannot have some dishes without tofu.

But in general, I do not care for the meat substitutes. Call me a spoilt American carnivore (it's ok, I *am* one ) but while I can and do go meatless for days, I still adore sinking the teeth into ham or roast beef or the cheesburgers I made last night for supper.

You spoilt American carnivore you!. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Actually, I am not a vegetarian although I think I probably should be. I can't really see any moral reasons for eating meat. But it just tastes soooo good...

Ah well, I agree about Quorn - it is really nice. But I still think actual meat is better. And yes Azure, tofu is disgusting. There really isn't any way around that.

While I am an avid meat eater (totally have this thing for chicken *droolz*) I do really like veggie burgers. Though I have to agree the meat substitute doesn't taste like meat (mainly due to the fact that texture is impossible to get right not to mention juices), I don't think it tastes bad either. Quorn's ok. I think it all depends on the skill of the cook how good things taste. I detest vegetables though. Icky things. Can't stand eating more than 5 mouthfuls. Makes me feel sick. Though I did have a sprout craving once. Odd.

Fruit is just lovely. Especially water melon! and sharon fruit. Cherries, grapes...list is endless...

Wild mushrooms are amazing! When I was about 8 and we visited U.S.A. we found this gigantic wild mushroom that must've fallen off a tree or something. Mum made this absolutely gorgeous soup out of it. It was absolutely lush! Of course I was worried it might be poisonous and I might die, heh, but trial and error obviously didn't do me TOO much damage So oyster mushrooms etc. are lovely ~grynz~ try them sometime. Wild oyster mushrooms stir fried with chives (*gglz* I eat wayyyyyyyyy too much oil, heehee)


EDIT: *sigh* just can't type at all...
