I find a vegetarian strict vegetarian lifestyle absolutely boring; I can say the same about a strict meat eating diet as well. Like Meeklo said I'm all about mixing it up.

I havent eaten any meat since 1990, and I just don't think about it - it's not like it's a concious choice everytime I go into a restaurant - 'shall I have the steak ?' It's just not something that's on my radar...
I unconciously just filter out the meat and actually it makes choosing a lot easier.
I like all the veggie burgers that are on the market, I don't think of them as 'fake' anything - it's just soy or myco protein or vege's, mushed together, and it tastes of what it is. It doesn't taste OF beef or chicken, or whatever, anymore than chicken tastes OF soy protein. It's a lump of stuff on a plate that tastes of what it does, you either like it or you don't, people fucking over complicate it all. I don't eat meat, thats it, I'll eat pretty much every other food whether you call it fake real dog hat biscuit lino techno piss crystals or whatever - as long as I know what it's made of I really don't give a piss what semantic fuckery you choose to take part in.

i've been vegetarian for about 13 years and have never managed to eat a tofu burger. we use tofu in stir-frys and curries though.
cauldron foods do tofu sausages that are decent enough.

it tastes like nothing, tofu is good naturally but the surrogates of chicken/beef really sucks

I haven't tried that, but I like Boca Burgers a lot. I like my tofu marinated and stir-fried with veggies. Tofu isn't fake, it's just soy curd. Products like this are called "burger" as a matter of convenience and familiarity. It's not like people are fooling themselves into thinking they're actually eating a burger.
By the way, unless you eat organic free-range meat, you're complicit in animal cruelty, environmental degradation, and the death of the small family farm (Just in case anyone's interested in those issues).
