How To Eat Tofu Without Really Trying →
An oldie, but a good one.
I have quite a couple of vegetarian friends who simply refuse to eat tofu, or soy in general on account of taste.
The problem is, almost no one likes tofu initially. It’s an acquired taste, like caviar or asparagus, though for the opposite reason—it has barely any flavor, so you focus on the consistency. And most people don’t care for the consistency.
She then follows up with this which are excellent points as well:
There are good reasons to learn to love it, however. For one thing, it’s cheap. For another, it’s low fat and high protein. For a third, it keeps approximately forever. And most importantly, cooked right, it’s delicious. Tofu is an incredibly versatile foodstuff. You never have to worry about whether it goes with another food—it does. It’s the ultimate flavor vehicle.
I love me some smoked or dill flavored tofu. Grilled is my preference.
