Tofu: Yes or No?
 
Do you like it?

Norma J 11.05.2006 11:32 PM

Most definitely. Mostly the ignorant do not.

HaydenAsche 11.05.2006 11:34 PM

What's your favorite way to make it, Norma?

Norma J 11.05.2006 11:37 PM

I like tofu any old how. But its especially nice marinated (spelling?) with rice noodles and vegetables. etc etc.

HaydenAsche 11.05.2006 11:39 PM

Yes! I had Pad Thai tofu and noodles today for lunch. It was fantastic.

pantophobia 11.05.2006 11:53 PM

i have been eating alot of thai food lately, and i have been getting a side order of golden triangle fried tofu with sweet and sour dripping sauce along with my pad thai everytime i get carryout

Savage Clone 11.06.2006 12:08 AM

I eat it all the goddamn time.

noisemachine 11.06.2006 12:52 AM

I never buy it to prepare myself, but I like it when its prepared well in various dishes. There is this one item that I had at PF Changs. I think it was coconut curry vegetables and tofu. That was pretty good.

krastian 11.06.2006 01:33 AM

Hell to the no.

Tokolosh 11.06.2006 01:48 AM

Yes, if it's well marinaded in soya sauce and herbs.

Cantankerous 11.06.2006 02:45 AM

it is evident that seven of us have no tastebuds.

Norma J 11.06.2006 03:01 AM

The 'no' folk just don't know how to cook or where to buy from. That's all.

sonicl 11.06.2006 04:10 AM

I could do with a "sometimes" option. I've never managed to cook anything I liked with plain tofu, but you can get ready-marinated tofu in the UK and it's fantastic in a stir-fry.

If anyone has a good recipe for plain tofu (or even just a good marinade) that they'd like to share with me, I'll be only too pleased to try it.

jon boy 11.06.2006 04:47 AM

deep fried tofu with soy sauce is lovely.

A Thousand Threads 11.06.2006 04:51 AM

Yes i like it.
Had very well marinaded tofu sticks yesterday
But sometimes tofu can be really disgusting even when well marinaded

static-harmony 11.06.2006 05:32 AM

What the hell is tofu?

A Thousand Threads 11.06.2006 05:38 AM

Tofu, also called doufu (often in Chinese recipes) or bean curd (literal translation), is a food of Chinese origin, made by coagulating soy milk, and then pressing the resulting curds into blocks. The making of tofu from soy milk is similar to the technique of making cheese from milk. Wheat gluten, or seitan, in its steamed and fried forms, is often mistakenly called "tofu" in Asian or vegetarian dishes.

it's alright every now and then.

_slavo_ 11.06.2006 07:14 AM

Tofu is okay.

jon boy 11.06.2006 11:54 AM

its not as good as fried halume.

Hip Priest 11.06.2006 01:07 PM

Yes. I cook it occaisionally and always enjoy it.

The finest tofu is to be had with noodles in a Thai restaurant. The Thais know how to cook tofu to perfection, in my experience.

!@#$%! 11.06.2006 01:15 PM

tofu has practically no taste, so it depends on the cooking. i love tofu dishes from hippy fake egg salad to "ma po tofu". my favorite version is an idnonesian one where the tofu cubes are fried in sesame oil with ginger, brown sugar, soy sauce & other wonders. yum...

too much soya though increases your estrogen levels, so keep your manboobs in check by limiting intake to a reasonable level. if you are a postmenopausal woman, though, it may help you avoid hot flashes. :D

wax 11.06.2006 04:00 PM

raw-no chance
cooked- maybe
its not a very interesting food

king_buzzo 11.06.2006 04:02 PM

i dont know what it is (hides)

Пятхъдесят Шест 11.06.2006 09:17 PM

Depending on how it is cooked, and served (obviously). Its OK. But if we're talking Thai the chili is where its at.

k-krack 11.06.2006 09:36 PM

The best food I have ever had:
Montreal, some little hipster restaurant. The stereo was playing the Postal Service (blech).
BBQ Tofu wrap.
FUCKING DELICIOUS.

I think you're all revolting. If it weren't bad enough that Tofu looks and tastes like death rolled up into little balls of Nazi-hate, it's the fact that Tofu represents all that is sandal-wearing, non-washing, stinking, quasi-fascist and plain hippy about this world. You're all off my Christmas card list. Apart from Cantankerous, but that's only because she has young, firm, non-hippy breasts (I imagine).

porkmarras 11.07.2006 06:38 AM

Have you ever been to Knobu(the famous restaurant chain)?

Hey, man, don't like, hate on tofu just because like, you think it is involved with hippies or like something, man. I am totally not a hippie, man.

EMMAh 11.07.2006 01:55 PM

I love it. You can make it taste like whatever the hell you want so the only reason not to like it is the texture, which I don't mind at all.

Trasher02 11.07.2006 01:57 PM

Tofu is guud.

Savage Clone 11.07.2006 01:57 PM

I eat tofu and I bathe twice daily on average.

jon boy 11.07.2006 02:05 PM

i havnt had tofu for ages or a bath.

timtimtim 11.07.2006 02:22 PM
