What are you using for fake meat?

Just had bubur ayam (chicken porridge) for my breakfast. Sorry for the gross picture. Rice porridge with tiny chicken meat slices, garnished with emping, cakwe, crackers, sliced leeks. I think they added chicken broth and also sweet soy sauce.
With quail eggs on a stick. Very common breakfast for Indonesian.

For BBQ, I usually use either Gardein (the chicken scallopini or the beef tips) or Quorn. They tend to do pretty well, even on the grill. I also sometimes use wheat gluten-based meats...especially this stuff from a vegan butcher shop (yes) in Brooklyn. They have some really good stuff but it kind of all has the same taste. The Beyond Meat stuff is OK (pea protein) but it's a little too dense.
Occasionally I will get one of the products from the Chinese/Asian grocery. A lot of vegetarians don't know this, but they have a ton of meat substitute stuff. The ham (which comes disconcertingly in a log) makes a GREAT ersatz pulled pork if you shred it. I hate shrimp, but the vegan shrimp is uncanny. It's made with like potatoes and konyaku or something. It makes good grilled shrimp, according to my wife. But this stuff is made in China, so...I dunno.
Field Roast stuff is awesome. Their franks are the best.
Jackfruit is WAY overhyped as a meat substitute. It SUCKS. It does not in any way make a good fake BBQ sandwich. It has a weird texture and a strange, almost sour taste.
I never cook or eat tofu.

Tonight was cold rice noodles tossed with a spicy peanut/rice vinegar sauce and home-pickled radishes and cucumbers, on a bed of bitter greens. All the veggies were from our CSA share and super fresh.

To be fair its fun to indulge in both sides of the food spectrum and I do mix it up with the finer side from time to time.

A college roommate used to go to Watkins Glen 24 hour race; the traditional breakfast being Fruit Loops doused with Bartles and James wine coolers.

The kid and I still intersperse some cereal and a bit more fruit in there. For awhile I've been making smoothies in the morning for the two of us. Our blender can't chop ice at all, so I make sure to use at least one banana every time to give it some thickness. Then it's whole milk and berry-of-choice, with a small or half orange tossed in for tanginess. Breakfast is almost always meat and eggs. The school breakfasts are insane! 100g of carbs including Chocolate Skim Milk!
In general I'm not a big fan of foods that masquerade as other foods. I like noodles, and I'll eat some chopped up zucchini, but zoodles or cauliflower rice, or that BBQ jackfruit abomination? Blech!

The only diet that actually extends life and reduces body fat is the GOYA-SOYA diet. I didn't invent it, but I named it as such.
