Every veg I know in the UK occasionally eats faux meat products, even the most hardcore ones. In fact, it's the hard core vegans that tend to be quite enthusiastic about these products, as most of them are vegan due to ethics rather than specifically disliking meat. Also, I've never met a meat eater here bothered by calling veg food sausage, burger, mince, milk, steak, etc. either. However, products like Quorn have been popular here since the 80s so perhaps people are used to it by now. Even before the whole vegan movement took off, the terms have been overloaded, for example mince pies, head cheese, milk of magnesia, Welsh rabbit/rarebit, peanut butter, portobello steak, beefsteak tomato, rice burgers, oil-based "butter"...
