When I could have soy I used to buy my TVP from Dixiediner.com. They have a HUGE selection of beef & chicken TVP in chunks, strips, ground as well as Ham (Not!) and Tuna (Not!) to make "ham" or "tuna" salad sandwiches and Cheese (Not!) sauces to make mac & "cheese" or enchiladas & such. They also carry a wonderful line of sausage spices (Italian or Polish were my favs).

I cannot say enough good things about this company and their products. Their website is huge with the biggest selection of meat-replacement/soy foods that I have ever seen. Quality & service is excellent.

p.s. Type in beef or chicken (or whatever) in their search box in the top right to find the TVP type you are looking for as their site is huge.

I wish we had Morning Star products here. Twice a year there is a semi that comes to the city that sells a lot of vegetarian food that we don't have here so we have to stock up then but since we only have a small freezer in out fridge it doesn't last us long.

I wish I even had that. I moved from Canada to Australia in January and have been craving Oh Naturel Chicken Cordon Bleu for months. There is a decent selection of veggie burgers and sausages here --- but I've come across practically no faux chicken and, unlike with Yves selections, only one type of deli slices. I don't know what I'd do if they discontinued our vegetarian schnitzel.

Ha ha - I read the title of this thread and my first thought was "dry TVP in large chunks." Then I open it up and that's exactly what you said.

I can get big chunks when I go to Toronto, but locally all I can get is the tinier pieces and I couldn't even get those until a year or two ago.

I just checked out dixiesdiner - that stuff is expensive. It's cheaper than the frozen stuff - but dry TVP at my co-op is $1.99/lb.

i cant find plain soy yogurt! or vegan chicken burgers! only once have i found them@ they are sooo good! it isnt fun putting strips in a burger! they fall out everywhere! =(
