I find some pretty awesome stuff at Whole Foods in the US, too. Cool you've convinced some people of the possibilities of non meat based dishes :) I found some ok veggie stuff in the NL, but I think it's better in the UK (but then again I didn't live there so I trust your judgement on that)!

Yum! They made a lot of patties but didn't emphasize the meat-like aspect too much. I don't think there's facon in NL but I could be wrong. I also never really saw substitute lunch meat. The veg sausages were gross, though.<br><br>When we moved back to the US and in with my parents a couple of months ago, we prepared most dinners. My parents were very surprised at the variety of meals we prepared without meat (although we do have fish/seafood ~2x/week). We assumed meat substitutes wouldn't fly with them so we instead made creative pasta dishes, wok veggies with different sauces, salads, stews, etc. <br><br>When we moved out recently we started trying American meat substitutes for the first time. The patties here seem to try and replicate meat more than in NL but BOY were we surprised at how yummy they are! Even the sausages are great and the fake bacon kind of freaks us out with how bacon-like it is. All of these things are in the frozen section here - in NL they were all in the fridge section - so it took us a while to find them.

It's a shepherd's pie that I adapted from a lamb recipe to one with lentils, onions, garlic, tomatoes, cinnamon, allspice, oregano, dried mint and parmesan. The mashed potatoes for the topping are mixed with feta cheese and parmesan. It's absolutely luscious and the omnis love it. :-) I've got a recipe that I like to bring to parties or events to show off delicious veggie cooking to omnivores.
