I don't think that I could ever really get very much into meat substitutes. Tofu is disgusting (in my opinion) - but I have had a good vegetarian spaghetti bolognese that I do believe was made with minced tofu. The sauce flavours it well (sundried tomato and basil pesto is best) and I didn't even know it was vegetarian until after I had eaten it (the hosts wisely decided not to inform me until then!)
That is a good idea to start with consciously not eating one kind of animal. I am curious about your choice, though, it is as Homer Simpson says: pigs are 'wonderful, magical animals' because there is bacon and ham and pork and ribs... Kind of the potato of meats :-)I think I will have trouble giving up dairy. Especially as I live in one of the best farming areas in the world and dairy (and even meat) is fresh and fairly cheap (though we export the best meat).
But, yeah, maybe vegetarian first and if that works out okay, then I can work on my soya substitutes.
