veggie burgers
yum!
BBQ riblets by Gardenburger and Smart BBQ. check out local health food stores or the vegetarian section of the grocery store. also Morning Star Farms and Boca burgers!!!
look u hav to just rough it out....theres really nothing u can do cept stop being a vegeterian..if u must but then wont it be like all those times u didnt eat meat were for nothing....so stick to ur decision watever it is
try grilling veggie or boca burgers with the same seasonings of the bbq meat. trust me, it helps! my fav is this little italian burger joint is naples, fl. my bf is a meat-eater so he goes there all the time. but, he brought me back their "secret" seasoning and it was amazing!
There are some copies of meat that look the same and taste similar. Here are some products: Veggie burgers, spicy black bean burgers, veggie corn dogs and "chicken" nuggets.
Grilled portobello mushrooms. Use them like a burger and you'll be very happy.
Try having a barbeque with Boca Burgers or Garden Burgers and use barbeque sauce and use all the stuff you would have put on your hamburger. Or you could try cooking up some eggplant and putting it on a bun,(if you are a vegetable extremist like my dad and I) or portabella mushrooms would work too!
Some of my favorite faux meat products are:
Tofurkey Deli Slices
Nate's Meatless Meatballs
Boca Chik'n Patties
Gardenburger Flame Grilled Chik'n patties
Morningstar Farms Meal Starters Chik'n Strips
Smart Bacon
There are more faux meats listed here:

Also, if you ever need motivation to stay vegetarian, you can watch this video: http://www.chooseveg.com/animal-cruelty....
Good luck!
vege-burgers are actually really good, I like them better than normal burgers now. Also, i suggest trying 'morning star' products, my friend is a fussy eater but she loovees the stuff they have, especially their vegetarian"chicken nuggets" you can still have like all that stuff. When other people have burgers, have a veg-burger, when other people have sausages, have a vegetarian sausage, chicken nuggets? have the vege-nuggets. Their still delicious :):):)
