Hi, I buy mine from the Asian food warehouse on Salisbury street. Look in the freezer section for the white packs. Also I buy them from the asian food stores on Riccarton Road at church corner. They have some tinned mock meats and frozen goods too.Hope that helps :-)

Then I would recommend a Sanitarium product in a can called 'Nutolene' with peanuts as a basic ingredient, which is very tasty either sliced and eaten cold OR fried till browned and crispy - BBQ would be fine.Children like this too.

I would hope that you do tell the "meat lovers" what you feed them before dinner though. I would be very upset if I got fed soybeans in heavy disguise (not that I wouldn't notice though).
I'd rather not eat any of that stuff myself and would stick to the salads or veges in that case. I think it would be common courtesy to leave it up to the visitors to decide if they want to eat soy or not.

Totally agree. I go to great lengths to provide vegetarian alternatives for vego guests and would never feed them animal protein they didn't eat, even heavily disguised, so it is only fair that vegetarians offer non-vegos the same courtesy IMO.

Have you tried the Christchurch Vegetarian Centre! They will certainly have it.
As to making it more interesting: A lot of people soak the dry bits in soy sauce to make it taste a bit better, then use in stir fries.
If you are vegetarian and want to use tvp for extra protein then there is also nut"meat" or simply nuts, beans, yoghurt, cheese etc - all of which is most likely easier to get and nicer to the body.
Good luck!

For instance. I had a vego for Xmas lunch. I did a degustation menu that lasted more than 8 hours. For every course that involved food he wouldn't eat, I supplied a delicious alternative. It took me twice as long in prep because of that. However, when I go to his place for dinner he cooks me roast lamb. Fair's fair.

The Sanatarium Casserole Mince and Country Hotpot are good too with a few additions.

A useful TVP product is 'Sun Valley' brandbacon bits which you can sprinkle on a poached egg without even rehydrating.
It's not necessary to buy cans of things shaped like fake meat - that's a particularly Seventh Day Adventist Vegetarian angle from Sanitarium, the company they founded.

A good curry paste would spice these up - maybe put curry powder in your kit :)

Have seen it at our local bin in in various forms - might pay to look there if you have a store near by! As to making it more interesting.no idea sorry - maybe play around with marinades & different seasonings on a small scale - cook a bit up and see what you think :-)
