The only reason I'm wary of any vegan meat is because I have a terrible soy intolerance. Almost all the stuff at my local grocery store that's 'meatless' is soy based. For a while they carried a brand that was pea protein based, and it was delicious. Sadly, that brand is not in stock anymore.
It may not be in your local grocery store but try seitan. You can make it from vital wheat gluten or even just from wheat flour, if you're willing to use some elbow grease.
There's also Meati (Mushroom), Jack & Annie's (Jackfruit), and Quorn (Mushroom), which are all fantastic.
Last time I looked Quorn mince has egg in it, so be careful with their products.
Ah, you're right, they're only vegetarian unfortunately, not vegan.
I ate a heavy soy based diet for years and it left me with a soy food allergy because of the soy processing.
what do you mean by soy processing?
