Long comments are good comments in my opinion lol.
If you're looking for a chicken substitute that holds up, look no further than Sweet Earth's "Chik'n" strips. I tried Morningstar's and I didn't find it to be the right texture. Sweet earth somehow figured out the perfect non-breaded chicken strip. I'd use that jazz in anything if I wasn't trying to conserve my budget.
Also, idk if you've tried it yet, but (Gardein)[https://www.gardein.com/soups-chilis/soups/plant-based-chickn-noodl-soup] makes a great "chick'n" noodle soup for lazy days.
I wish the seafood substitutes were there. The breaded stuff like fish and chips are great and there are a few brands of tuna substitutes I like, but I haven't seen a shrimp or salmon substitute. For sushi or smoked salmon bits, sure, there are lots of things that have a similar taste, but I haven't found anything like something you'd get in a restaurant. If you like to cook, (sauce stache)[https://youtu.be/T8MaZXj9N-U] always comes through with surprisingly good tasting recipes.
Thanks for the references! Next time I'm at the grocery store I'll poke around and see if I can find any of those chicken substitutes! A lazy chicken soup actually sounds pretty appealing: the from-scratch method gives great results, but it does take a surprisingly long time!
