Actually there is a WIDE variety.
I was a vegetarian for 2 years and a vegan for about 4 months.
There are these "chicken nuggets" but they're from MorningStar Farm, which means they're completey made from soy and nutrients that don't involve meat, they're called chick'n'nuggets. They totally taste JUST like meat, and it's all in all like not giving up anything. They're a little expensive but it's for the animals, right?
Along with chick'n'nuggets, there's everything you can imagine, ground hamburger, sausauge, hamburgers, ham.
goodluck

I've been vegetarian for 13 years. Mostly, I eat a lot of potatoes, eggs, baked beans, vegetables such as cauliflower, broccoli, swede, parsnips and so on.
I am Coeliac so I can't eat bread products but prior to diagnosis with this, I used to eat quorn and soya products. There are a lot of meat substitutes out there that you might like to give a go. There's vegetarian sausages, chickenless nuggets, pies, burgers and so on.
Most supermarkets also have a vegetarian section these days so if you go and have a good look, there will probably be something there you find appealing.
The most important thing to remember when pursuing a vegetarian diet is that by cutting out meat, you are cutting out the body's most natural sources of iron and protein (along with other vitamins and minerals). A lot of people recommend taking supplements but if you eat a balanced diet, you shouldn't need to. Protein can be found in nuts and seeds, eggs, milk (or soya milk if you wish to become vegan), pasta, cheese and yoghurt.
Iron can be found mostly in green, leafy vegetables like broccoli, beans, peas, sprouts and best of all, spinach (often considered a Super Food, as it is very good for you all round).
Lastly, I will add that putting yourself on a vegetarian diet can be difficult and how careful you are with it depends on your reasons for going on the diet. For example, if you don't like the taste of meat, you could still eat products that contain gelatin/e, which is found mostly in sweets and jelly and is made from bone marrow. Also, if you don't want to stop eating all meat, as someone has already said, you can eat fish and be a demi-vegetarian.
Good luck to you.

Some vegetarians eat fish surprisingly. Also you can have milk I think as long as you don't become vegan as well.

pretty much everything except meat. try going to one of those whole food hippie stores, besides having a great selection of crazy ass beans, fake jerky, and tea, they'll have books on their herbivorous habit.
by the by, why go vegetarian? meat is so much more efficient and tasty. though I must say, split pea soup is friggin delicious, I can't understand y'all's need to abandon the path of moderation.
enjoy the fruit leather(its great!),

everything.
your best bet is to get a vegan/vegetarian cookbook and join up a couple of vegan/vegetarian forums. my favorite foods are falafel, minnestrone, vegetable stir fry, black bean soup, and boca burgers (even though I had never had an actual hamburger until I became vegan). I eat a lot of hummus and pita bread and PB and J at school. and I eat a whole bunch of spinach. you just have to test around to see how the new food is. my favorite cookbook is vegan with a vengeance.
