This product has been around since I first became vegetarian in the 90's. If you can't find it at a store, it's easy to order it online.
Many have been talking here about meat substitutes. For anyone wanting to transition to vegan or vegetarian, there are so many delicious products and here are a few:
1. Quorn products (frozen section), made from mycoprotein. Some are vegan, some vegetarian. Their burgers are so good, hard-core meat-eaters say they are the best burgers they ever tasted. They have "chicken breast" fillets that are great sliced and put on a sandwich. They make vegan fishless sticks that are really tasty. All of their frozen products are good.
2. Gardein products (frozen section) are almost all vegan, and they are all good. I agree with Jade that their crab cakes are awesome. And I love their fishless fillets. The crispy tenders are awesome.
3. I have served spaghetti to omnivorous guests with "grounds" (from almost any brand—they're all good) and no one ever knows it's not meat.
4. Cheese. Wow—here you will be surprised. Miyoko's Kitchen: (online) (made with nuts)—out of this world vegan cheeses. You will LOVE the buffalo mozzarella if you want pizza. The smoked cheddar she makes is amazing. Every single one of her cheeses is great; and she sells a book of how to make them yourself. Choa: I get this in the grocery store in the refrigerated section. Perfect for a toasted cheese sandwich, melt on a burger, or just to eat a slice (soy product). Daiya: (grocery store)—has many varied products. The sliced cheddar is good on a sandwich (refrigerated section); they make a vegan pizza in the frozen section; yummy vegan cheesecake and key lime cheesecake (frozen section); and a great (easy) boxed macaroni and cheese (I like to add a little siracha and sliced grape tomatoes, or maybe broccoli or asparagus, to this).
5. If you visit an Asian store (we have Lee Lee's here in AZ which is huge and the size of a Walmart), they may have some vegetarian/vegan products in the frozen section. Verisoy is really good, and most of their products are vegan. They make fish fillets that are incredible—sliced and wrapped with seaweed. Black pepper steak, non-breaded chicken nuggets are both awesome (I think they are both seitan).
6. Best Foods actually makes a vegan mayonnaise now, and many grocery stores carry it alongside their other mayos.
@ IGW: I don't know about the protein in the egg replacer product. I'm sure those stats are online as well.
And for those who have not seen this incredibly entertaining video, I just have to post it again…
@ Jade: we should make a "Bring Forth Vegans" cookbook.
