    Tofu alone is not anything great, but it’s also not gross. It’s pretty flat and nutural in flavor which is what makes it great because you can make it taste like most anything. It’s like saying flour is gross. Like I don’t want a spoon full of flour, but I’ll make you a damn fine pancake.

      My sister always said tofu tastes like nothing and it just tastes like whatever you season it with. Ah yes, unlike the chicken that is so flavorful that you brine it overnight and then rub it with a ton of salt and spices just to not make it bland.

    I don’t care what other people eat or what they think about what I eat. These kinds of posts seem childish to me.

      I would argue they just put things into perspective.

      Came here from all and love steak, but also well aware many of us are disassociated from where much of our food comes from. Cows are intelligent, social, have their own personalities and are delicious seared.

      At least when spoken totally seriously. Highly cringe like That Vegan Teacher. Who equates letting an infant taste cooked meat to SA-ing the infant. Literally says, “think about that. Envision that.”

      Even if it were to convince anyone to yuck on their yum, it’s best to do it in (hopefully playful) jest and gently plant the seed of doubt in their thoughts. Not openly attack something they like. That just makes them not like you.

              SA is ::: spoiler spoiler Sexual Assault :::

              Yucking someone’s yum is just a phrase about trying to turn someone away from something they enjoy. like if someone was to tell me that knee pits aren’t sexy I’d say ‘don’t yuck my yum’

      I care what other people (let) kill or what they think about what they eat. These kinds of knee-jerk comments seem childish to me.

      I care about other people senselessly killing creatures that don’t have to die because they like the flavor. Posts just sticking their head in the sand saying “can’t everyone get along?” seem kind of childish to me.

        I’ve neither stuck my head in the sand nor suggested that everyone get along.

    But what if I stuff a turkey’s succulent ass with the amazing flavor sponge that is tofu?

    Really what is with peoples dislike of a bean product? I never got why tofu is seen as gross.

    salt, pepper, mixed herb, smoked paprika, soy sauce all over a few ripped pieces of extra firm. Fry off in oil until edges are caramelised and golden. brilliant for grilled sandwiches or even on its own imo

    Everyone here saying that tofu, rice, flower, etc don’t have flavor of their own should stop adding so much sugar, salt, and fat to everything they eat.

    My very omnivorous kids love tofu, especially with pork - kimchi jigae, ma po tofu, in ramen with pork belly. The youngest loves the soft tofu in miso soup too. We always just treated it like food.

    @RogueBanana@lemmy.zip it’s nothing like paneer though - whole foods makes creamed spinach with coconut milk and tofu instead of cream and paneer and the tofu is vile as a dub for paneer. In about the way you would expect, if you’ve had soy milk - it’s basically soy milk paneer. Very different texture.
