It's really important to confront just how strong a connection we have with food we've grown up to love. There are so many memories and habits connected to buying, preparing, sharing, and tasting. I really had to go through a sort of 'deprogramming' where I plowed through many meals of 'meh', lots of thinking about what the heck can I eat, and many many unsatisfied foods. For me it was the cheese, but i still had memories of meals I couldn't resolve for a long time. I'd say it was about six months of vegan before I felt natural, before I truly had favorite foods. Now years later, I have delved into more 'faux meat' kind of foods and am also loving them, as well as loving Daiya block cheeses. My tastes have shifted quite a bit and I also am adding a lot of nutritional yeast, which I barely liked before.
Mushrooms, olives, eggplants, tofu, seitans (homemade), vegetable dumpling stews, Indian foods like paneer things made with tofu instead, stuffed grape leaves (canned or from restaurants), Thai foods, vegan Mexican. Also, Gardein fishless fillets, and burgers, Morningstar BBQ riblets, and if I want a super good gourmet burger--Beyond Beef fresh burger (pricey and found in the meat section) and Beyond Meat beefy crumbles, Daiya Block cheeses, Tofurky Italian sausage, and Trader Joes soy chorizo
Honestly, in the beginning I found keeping a bag of Fritos corn chips were my best ever food for when i had nothing else. One- I love them, and two-they're really filling
