      neighbors came over to bbq yesterday and brought tofu for my partner’s father, grilled it, and he wouldn’t eat it so i tried it just so they wouldn’t feel bad. it was the most flavorless thing i think I’ve ever eaten. apparently you don’t just grill it.

        Pure tofu is exactly like bland, unsalted, unflavored white chicken meat without the skin: almost pure protein. That’s why everything tastes like chicken. That’s how protein tastes.

        Except the texture of (fresh) tofu is much better. It melts on your tongue. Plus no antibiotics, or blood vessels or other gross stuff in it.

        you’re supposed to season tofu, that’s why it’s so versatile. Are white people eating tofu plain and that’s why it has a bad rep about being “plain” in flavor? Do people cook meat without seasoning?

        This is a bouge-pilled take but spending a premium for the fake meat burgers is worth it IMO. Or even just bean burgers, they’ve gotten cheaper over the years…

        Tofu on the grill doesn’t sound good lol

          we actually did buy veggie burgers for him but we didn’t grill them because the neighbors were so thoughtful in bringing the tofu over. big mistake lol
