I can find soy. Next time I go to town I'll haveta look for it for sure cause I doubt the store I have here where I live has it.

Do have a look in the frozen food section though, like I said I live in a REALLY small town and there's still fake meats here.

Or, look into how to make lentil burgers. It all looks pretty easy.

Yeah I'm gonna have to have a looksie in the recipe department for sure and maybe I can coax my mom into going to town this weekend so we can have a look

I read all about Quorn while researching for a post-apocalyptic book I was writing. It was developed in the UK in response to the thought that food would eventually run out. Mushroom based I believe, and can grow on nearly anything organic. (hence the need for it in a fictional post-apocalyptic world)

No, not available on the US. At least, I was not able to find it in 2009 anywhere.

Hmmmm :/ that's kind of saddening. I wonder If I'd be able to order it

I can see that many kind people already gave you many useful advices :). Well, try to find some Greek, Syrian, Lebanese, and/or Turkish recipes online. Maybe you can buy a Mediterranean cookbook if u want. These cuisines have a lot of vegetarian dishes. Being from the Mediterranean, I didn't really find it hard to become a vegetarian. I am lacto-vegetarian. I still eat cheese and drink milk; no eggs at all. I am a newbie though, became a vegetarian very very recently. So, I really know what you are going through. Just relax and try to enjoy being a vegetarian, as there are many healthy delicious vegetarian dishes. All the best :).

Oh yeah -m- I found this great site that has German, Irish, Mexican, etc. I'm gonna try out this stuffed walnut eggplant recipe I found just a few minutes ago. I really do need to buy cook books and start writing the recipes that people have written down on here also lol Good luck to you also :)

Looking at everyone's posts they seem to have some good suggestions. My two cents: Rather than worry about what you can't eat or choose not to eat, focus more on exploring the different things you haven't tried yet.

I became a vegetarian over a year ago and the first few weeks were hard. Mainly because I ate a lot of fast food and junk. Since I've cut out meat in my diet I have learned to discipline myself when it comes to eating in general. One huge lesson I've learned is that I want to eat nutrient rich foods. I looked it up and found a lot of info on green shakes which are very good and healthy, and I found some really good vegetarian recipes.
As you go forward on your journey, take time to learn new things and commit to being good to your body.

Oh yeah definitely on the shakes. I LOVE making those now. Especially if I have left over fruits or veggies. I got turned onto those from watching a documentary. Intrigued me alot and almost wanted to do a juice fast, but decided against it since my body is still developing. But they're so much more delicous then the ones you buy in the store since there's not anything extra added.
