I'm a freak, but what the fuck?
You're also being kind of judgmental.
But you're on my couch?! How did you even get in here? And I don't- where did you get that turkey, and why is th- oh hell no aaaaAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH
Bullshit. You love to be the one.
Can you buy me a drink next time before you call me out that hard?
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?
“X has no flavor”
“But you can add things that do have flavor!”
Think of me the next time you add salt or any other spice, will you?

That's like complaining that flour has no flavor. Or rice has no flavor. That's the point. It's a blank canvas for the chef to cook on.

Yeah, it's awesome!
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.

insert tofu scramble sponsor segment
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.
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.
Stuffing a turkey won't give you food poisoning, you gotta eat it for that option.
Got any good stuffed tofurky recipes?

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
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.

Well then...
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.
@[email protected] 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.
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

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.
