Vegetarian Alternatives

(other meat and replacement alternatives)

other alternatives - American but we have similar products in Australia Including Zoglos, Santiarium etc

==========================
ZOGLOS (sorry no web link)
==========================
Try the Schnitzels and the burgers.
Their sausages/burgers have a more 'meaty' taste to them if you miss meat. Their schnitzels are the best!

I've found them in IGA stores and some coles stores - frozen goods section


==========================
SANTARIUM
==========================
Probably the most well known Aussie brand for veggie products.

My fave products are:

Sausage roll mix (hard to find now - comes in a small box) Its very strong but if you add vegetables you can make your own pasties, patties etc.



BBQ sausages - I used to make up a veggie casserole with brown onion gravy mix in some tomato sauce and some soy sauce, when cooked add pre pan fried cut up sausages to make a sausage casserole - this is such comfort food for winter for the whole family. The sausages come in many flavours by the way including curry and chicken...

Deli slices - great on sandwiches

Bacon (we call it FAKon) - even meat eaters have loved this when I have used it. I dont pan fry it - I nuke it for low fat content but if you need a prtein snack a couple of these are really tasty!

NOT burgers - delish but be warned these are very oily and try not to add any oil to your pan when cooking - cook low and slow.


Their Deli Rolls (like one of those luncheon rolls) are nice - my partner loves these and he is a meat eater - her prefers it to salami etc its high protein and he cuts it up and puts it in his salads. If you are a deli roll family - try this and don't tell anyone its veggie - the deli rolls with meat have so much rubbish in them they don't even taste like meat so I will bet you that they wont even know its veggie :)

Schnitzels are nice but not as good as Zoglos IMO (I think they changed their recipe)

Lentil patties - these are nice for a wholefood flavour and a bit healthier but not as much protein.

I don't like their TVP, nor their bagged deli minces - I think they're awful!

Found at most stores including Woolworths


==========================
Odds and sods..
==========================
This is probably the best ever product for my taste buds.. but it is notoriously difficult to hunt down in WA...


EATWELL products
Vegetable Salami (Australian Eatwell) (vegan)
Description: Vegetarian salami
Features: 99% fat-free; 0% cholesterol; dairy free; source of fibre
Varieties: Sundried Tomato & Cracked Pepper; Mixed Vegetable
Available from most supermarkets (refrigerated). For an exact list of stockists please call Australian Eatwell on 1300 780 232 (I'm gonna call 'em :))

They also have yummy sausages with a more health food wholesome tasty flavour - kind of a nice vegetable mixture sausage flavour rather than meat - great for those who are veggie because they don't like meat flavour/texture. These are delicate so be gentle in the pan - taste great squished in a roll or wrap for those who can eat bread :) Their lentil patties (vacuum sealed clear pack) are delightful - again vegetable and bean tasty without meat replacements for those who like the veggie flavours instead (I like both and these still go down a treat)



FRY's products
Also great - very meaty flavour for those missing the ol' meat taste (and before anyone says why not eat meat then - there are many reasons for being veggie - animal care is one of them - why have meat when there is a high protein alternative that tastes just as good??)- frozen goods section. Readily available in VIC occasionally in WA.



SOYCO products
Marinated Tofu's the satay is delish!!

Beijing Soyabean products
I love their TOFU - they are the best at this product with a variety of marinades - garlic, honey soy, satay etc I found them in some coles stores in vacuum sealed clear packs in the veggie deli section.
