I was gonna shout out the Tofurkey brand of sausages, this is where they get their protein from. They make a kielbasa style and an Italian style that is my favorite, probably some other flavors. Slice 'em and fry em, dice 'em up and add to soups, and they're affordable which I feel like other meat substitutes suffer on.

I don't eat store-bought mock products often (because that shit's expensive), but I've had the Tofurky kielbasa in the past, so I can definitely second what you're saying here. That shit is good as fuck.

Yeah the kielbasa ones are good too. When I had some I made a dish of cabbage and noodles with mock sausge, and the wheat pasta plus the vital wheat gluten was just too much wheat though lol, and I'm not like gluten averse or anything. I wonder how they'd hold up in a stew, they hold their shape pretty well and I'd imagine more so if you put them in a frying pan for a little while first. If there's an Aldi near you they have a decent vegan meatball offering.
