Vegetarian

I have been trying vegetarian catered products in the refrigerated and frozen section at the supermarket. I have made some opinions, as has my husband, he thinks along the lines of "why eat meat flavored veggies when you can just eat veggies. Here are a few of my opinions:
Yves Hot dogs- not good. These are highly reviewed
Tofurky hot dogs-no good
Smart Dogs- good the first time, but now I know how wrong I was. I am thinking it is impossible to eat a veggie dog.
Boca Burger-good, not so natural ingredients
Garden Burger- good, will try the vegan version next
Do not barbecue tofu.
Morning Star bacon- not bad, but too chemical ridden
Morning Star Turk'y burger- good, can see chunks of veggies in it, like yummy avacado. Good texture
Veggie Patch Broccoli Bites-good, not vegan, my kids would not touch them. I ate them with Stubbs bbq sauce
Field Roast Smoked Apple Sausage-ate two, the rest have been in the fridge for months. These come highly reviewed but I must not like them since some are still in the fridge.
Refridgerated Veggie Patties from Costco-good 90 fat calories, 440mg of sodium. 14 patties for $9.99 probably won't buy them again.
I feel better off eating a boca burger which has 5 fat calories. Their website conflicts on sodium content 260 mg or 520 mg which is it?!
I'm going to make my own veggie patties with a recipe I found in Better Home and Garden magazine. I'll let you know how it goes :)
Happy Vegging!
