[quote=Anonymous]Not vegan but I am dairy-free because of an allergy (as well as gluten-free which is not relevant to this thread). It's surprisingly difficult to reproduce the flavor of dairy without milk, however there are a few products that are good enough.

For butter, I use Earth Balance spread. They have a bunch of varieties but I like the "whipped" one for spreading on my (gluten-free) toast.

I don't use coffee creamer, but I like almond milk in my coffee. There are a few vegan creamers out there, most likely made from coconut oil. Coconut oil has a nice texture but it will always have the flavor of coconut which some people find off-putting.

There is no acceptable vegan cracker that tastes like cheese. Just eat something else. I like the Crunchmaster multi-grain crackers which are gf and vegan. They don't taste like cheese in any way but they are good crackers. I like to spread Tofutti Cream Cheese on them.

Speaking of Tofutti Cream Cheese, it's the best one and no other vegan cream cheese even comes close. Tofutti sour cream is pretty good, too. However, the weird part about the Tofutti products is that the texture seems to change from batch to batch. Sometimes, the product is extremely firm, and sometimes it's quite soft. I don't know if it might have to do with shipping temperatures, but the flavor is always decent. You can give the sour cream a good stir if it seems stiff.

The only vegan cheese product I like is the shredded Daiya cheese. I use both the mozzerella and the cheddar styles on things like pizza bagels and nachos.
