I have to quote this again from the last page
Do you have any suggested brand names that you think taste good?
In my experience, meat substitutes taste like "fake meat"/too much soy.
Like Lynn says, Tofurky sausages taste pretty much exactly like meat. Not all are vegan compatible though and they are mostly made up of soy, I still suggest trying them out though because they taste really good.
What I would recommend though is what most people have never heard of:
These patties are huge, mass of 106g, you wouldn't believe it was only 160 calories. They look like how they are in the pictures, wider than most burger buns. These come in packs of 12 for ~$10.50 so you can eat two a day and it will last you a week.
My favorite thing about them is that they are not mainly made up of soy. As you can see from the ingredients, it's made up of a bunch of different vegetables combined. No artificial ingredients. And it tastes really really good. You can find these at some Wal-Marts, some Costcos, and some Sam's Clubs.

Another suggestion I have, although it's not vegan it's still very delicious:
Note how green it is on the inside, it's mostly made up of spinach and chickpeas and it tastes really good. You cook these or heat them up in a microwave and then you can eat it any way you want.
I haven't bought any of these lately for vegan reasons, so the only place I know that has them right now is Costco. I think they were around $8-$10 for a pack of 10, but overall these were much heavier than the Veggie patties shown above.
Veggie patch has a lot of different versions distributed to your local supermarkets but are otherwise are the same thing shown above.

Interesting facts about animal meat:
- They have zero fiber and are high in cholesterol
- They usually have zero carbs and have little if any antioxidants
- They are high in fats and high in the unhealthy kinds of fats
- Meat is treated with all sorts of toxics and chemicals crap not good for your body
Compare the nutrition facts above for the 106g of Veggie patty to this 85g of meat patty and tell me which one is better for you.

Matter of taste? I think it's more of a combination of these factors: Education, open mindedness, and popularity.
If it was a matter of taste, everyone would eat these meat substitutions. Why? You can make any kind of meat flavor out there, and even make meat flavors that don't exist yet, like Chinese Dragon or Pikachu meat substitutes. If these meat substitutes were given nutrients that only meat had, then there would be no difference between eating the two.
Get my giff? I think for the most part most people have never tried meat substition including me at one point, and for the most part people believe that meat is the 'manly' thing to do just because most people are doing it or whatever other lies culture wants you to believe.
All I know is I don't drink coffee in the mornings and even after working for a full day I can come back home still run around and never get tired. Heck when I wake up, I am fully awake. No having to wipe my eyes, no having to slump around, it's a huge difference in feeling.

You guys should just accept that some people eat meat and will continue even if you talk about your veggie patties all day long. There is no "better way" here. Some people drink alcohol and some do not, same with meat, maybe it's less healthy than vegetables but it's a matter of taste.
