Examples:
Ice cream, cake, candy, chips, any canned or boxed foods, meat...

Answer
Let's see,if I want ice cream,I eat soy or rice ice cream. Candy,I hate,but there's so many kinds of vegan candies. Goto-http://veganessentials.com/ or https://www.veganstore.com/index.html?action=myaccount if you want to order things or just go to your local health food store. READ LABELS EVEN IN A HEALTH FOOD STORE!! Chocolate I eat whenever I want,just the dark chocolate kinds,there's so many types and flavors of vegan chocolates to try. Chips,If I really want it I eat it. Chips are only not vegan if cooked in animal fats or coated in cheese or sour cream. Boxed foods are disgusting,I only like to eat healthy foods.For these,once again check out the websites I gave you or hit your health food stores. Meat,is even more disgusting. If I ever want something with a meaty texture then I just make some seitan.Also,I will sometimes eat tempeh,or tofu. If you really "need" something even more meat like try vegan sausages,burgers or "hot dogs". Cheese,I either use nutritional yeast or soy,nut or rice cheeses.
The only things I may crave are dishes from my childhood. If I feel sad or homesick and I want something homey,I may make something like vegan stuffed peppers or mashed potatoes with really great side dishes.Those are both things my mom would make,only the mashed potatoes dish was usually with chicken. I've learned to make everything my mom would make when I was growing up,but vegan style. Even meatloaf,or spaghetti and "meat" balls.
There's no reason to have an unfulfilled craving as a vegan. I think I have a recipe for everything including vegan marshmallows for S'mores.
Here's some great cookbooks that have a lot of those great "childhood" recipes but veganized. They are all by Sarah Kramer and only some call for vegan substitute foods-"How it all Vegan", In the Garden of Vegan" and "La Dolce Vegan". They're lots of fun. Give them a go. Have fun with your diet and be creative.

Answer
The gluten you refer to is called seitan, it is basically wheat gluten.
You can use tofu or tempeh in it's place. It's not "meat", but it is a meat stand-in in a lot of recipes. I've even had really good vegan stroganoff with tempeh before!
Tempeh is fermented soybeans, it tastes sort of nutty and odd, it's an acquired taste, but it is wonderful if you use it with sauces, marinades, or fry it (when breaded and fried, it is almost chicken-like).
Tofu comes in many varieties. You can have very soft silken tofu, which is good for deserts, baking, smoothies and dips. There are firmer varieties of tofu that you can use in the place of eggs in many recipes (look up tofu eggless egg salad recipes, or tofu eggless scrambled eggs). It is wonderfully versatile and a staple in my home.
I would also suggest cooking more with beans. They are very flexible. You can make a vegan meatloaf-like dish with black beans, veggies, pine nuts and some ketchup and spices.
