Answers:
You can always just add bits of seitan or tofu as a 'meaty' additive, or nuts, as in a nut roast!.
I'd second lentils, beans, and mushrooms - especially portobellos and dried mushrooms!.
I'd say you can also try Jackfruit!. It's become de rigueur in the vegan gourmet community as of late:

Dried beans like pintos, navy, white beans and garbanzos or a legume such as lentils!. Packed with protein and fiber!. Have some cheeses on hand to get that mouth feel that fat brings to the plate!. Packed with fiber and protein though not strictly a veggie they are from a plant source!. Soy based proteins like tempeh, T!.V!.P!. textured vegetable protein are good alternatives!. Avocadi is good for the fat content and mushroom do have a meaty texture profile though they are fungus!. Www@FoodAQ@Com
none! not even eggplant!. those are two entirely different things!.
how is the fact that you're becoming vegan change your partner's life anyway!? are you going to deny him meat because you've made that choice for yourself!? if you can't touch meat, he can cook his own!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

It's tough to find a meat texture with vegetables but I think eggplant is the closest!. Mushrooms have a meatier texture than eggplant does, but mushrooms aren't vegetables!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
cauliflower is wonderful substitute in chili, I like mushrooms too!. Be careful about over cooking the eggplant it can get soggy!. Www@FoodAQ@Com
Many types of beans do, as well as portabello mushrooms (very yummy when grilled) and you can always try different substitutes like tofu!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
