I discovered my
first health food grocery store (Fresh Fields), and my friends and I would whip up vegetarian delights including gazpacho spicy enough for tears, tofu in many, many forms, and several classic Thanksgiving dinners completely with TVP meatloaf and mushroom gravy.
(It's easily found in the bulk sections at
the health food grocery store or coop.)
Most
health food grocery stores (Sprouts, Whole Foods, Natural Grocers, etc.) should sell bars of unsweetened chocolate in the baking section.
