I like Vegefarm/vegeking brand stuff (hotdogs, fish, etc..). Usually it’s only found in Asian markets.

I eat the Gardenburger (veggie one not faux meat). Don’t like the Boca burger much (original one) last I had it. The Yves hot dogs I tried were okay, but not that great.

I though the Gardenburger grilled chicken is okay.

They all taste different and there are many different kinds.

I like the Boca and Morningstar brands (The Morningstar “chicken” nuggets and patties are better than what I remember real chicken to be like!), but those are really the only two fake meats sold around here.

The only fake meat I like is Amy’s veggie burgers. But then, I’ve never eaten real meat in my life so I don’t have the cravings to contend with. To me, the veggie burgers pretty much taste like tofu with flavorings.

Veggie shreds cheese is really good. It taste like the real stuff.

Boca “chicken” patties are very good.

i like Quorn products. their chick’n cutlets taste really good if you season them right.

i eat alot of morningstar products too, they make really good fake corndogs. the only thing i don’t like of theirs are the steak strips.

I’m not sure if you get this there (I’m in Australia, but I’m pretty sure its sold for you) but the best faux meat I’ve tried so far is Zoglo’s. There’s a variety of products available, including kebabs, ‘ckicken’ nuggets, sausages (LOVE these), and a mini version of the sausages, rissoles, and a few other things.

The official website is

The range of products is at

And to see if there’s products near you

I love this stuff call Tofurky, I think it’s really good. I would stay away from all the fake cheeses out there. They’re ick ick ick. I’ve never found one that taste decent.

I like Boca burgers (all varieties) and some of the morning star products although they tend to be a little dry. I’ve never had Yves. I’m generally not impressed with soy cheese either. Good luck, but remember eating these vegetarian versions of meat is not really necessary unless you still desire meat and need to substitute it with something or if you are still transitioning into a vegetarian diet in which case they are good. I rarely eat them unless i’m with my family and they are grilling out and i’ll bring a boca burger to put on the grill. but now my husband has recently quit eating meat so he is eating a lot of them and therefore i am kind of by default.

The riblets you are talking about are called Gardenburger BBQ riblets,they are really good! I know they have them at Trader Joe’s. Boca makes pretty good Chik’n patties.I think Yves products are pretty good,you just have to add more stuff to the sandwich to give it more flavor,if you eat it plain then you probably won’t like it.
