Stuffing turkey can get you a nice case of food poisoning.
Stuffing tofu will not.
I think it depends on where you stuff it.
Alton Brown says stuffing is evil, and I believe him.
Got any good stuffed tofurky recipes?
Spatchcocked turkey is where it's at, my friend
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 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 care what other people (let) kill or what they think about what they eat. These kinds of knee-jerk comments seem childish to me.
cloaca its all the flavour makers
I don't get it, do they not like the taste of tofu? How is it gross?
Might be more of a texture thing
Ah I never had tofu myself but paneer is literally my most favourite ingredient. Its pretty massive among vegetarians in India but I can see why some would hate it. I am guessing tofu would be very similar in texture.
That's what it is for my wife. I don't mind it but she's not a fan.
There are a variety of textures you can get from tofu.
It's not gross. I just never had tofu that had any worthwhile taste. Probably have not had good tofu hut nonetheless.
I mean tofu by itself tastes pretty much of nothing. You need to like marinade and spice it before it tastes good.
Personally I also like making sure one side is fried until very crispy.
Pressing it helps. It's hard for it to soak up flavors when it's waterlogged.
I feel the same way about meat, I always put sauces on my meats
"It isn't a meal unless something died."
Come on I eat at least a kilo of tofu per meal it's not that hard
It pairs great with a kilo of cocaine. I call it the 2-kilo meal-o
Tofu bad reaction on a tofu bad meme seems in line to me, what gives mod?
It would've fit better on vegancirclejerk, here it's not the norm to be circlejerking and there tend to be a good amount of carnists that bash on stuff without knowing what they're talking about. I assumed you were joking based on saying 700 grams of tofu is when you got problems, cause that's a lot, but it was subtle and I could see it being missed
Well then...
Not my first choice, but to each their own 😁
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.
I love tofu. Shame that I have to fart so fucking much from it. I get real stomach cramps from tofu for some reason :(
Same, I used to eat it quite a lot as I was trying to move to eating less meat, but it has made me feel like shit the last few times I tried it.
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
That's sounds so good.
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.
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.
Very funny! Even an omnivore can enjoy this one.
"Reform is gross", said Erdugan while...
Tofu general tsao is amazing. Tofu chili was nasty. It's probably a texture thing
Probably. Maybe a softer tofu, I'm not a fan.
Tofu chili was nasty. It’s probably a texture thing
Even Mapo Tofu still has real meat in it for the right texture. For a 100% veggie option, you gotta go extra/ultra firm. I've only ever seen it at the local Korean grocer though - "American" grocery stores don't carry stuff with the right texture. TVP might work too.
Tofu is delicious.
Tofu kind of just tastes like nothing.
Do you have a moment to talk about our lord and saviour, the spice cabinet?
Yeah, it's awesome!
If you do it right it's a dead ringer for chicken.
What I like about tofu is precisely that it doesn't have much of a flavor, and simply takes on whatever you are cooking it in or with. The only time "plain" tofu really does it for me on its own is when it's nice and salty and fried really crispy...but even then it's better with some kind of sauce.
But on its own, definitely not delicious. Just bland.
Well obviously you gotta season it. Nobody says "I love potato crisps" and is talking about unseasoned chips.
