OT In Defense of Tofu

Reading roffian discourse on the subject of tofu is like reading
the report of a Japanese sports writer who mistakenly wandered in
on a performance of the Bolshoi Ballet and wrote it up as a really
dull Sumo match.

You just SO don't get it.

But what do you expect from folks who actually think deep fried
turkey might be a good idea.

LOL. As a one-time-but-gave-it-up vegetarian; I've been thinking of
celebrating the virtues of tofu; but the fact is, I'm not a big fan anyway.
Nevertheless, it *is* a terrific food and an outstanding source of low-fat
protein. Complaining about its taste is kinda meaningless, 'cause it
doesn't really have one IME. I suspect that the major objection to the odd
substance is its texture and presentation, which I admit is unfamiliar to
most American mouths. It's probably an "acquired taste". I have the same
objection to eggplant. I have nothing against its taste, I just can't stand
the way it feels in my mouth.

Deep fried turkey is a horrible idea. You know how much hot oil they can
spread as you dip 'em in the pot? Man, those wings really start moving,
they kick like all hell and make one hell of a racket. Tain't gonna do that
again. I'll stick to deep fried lobster.

Don't think deep fried turkey is a good idea, but I think tofu is a
****ing stupid idea. Period, end of subject, shut your bitch ass up.

Oh yeah!!! Baseball already!

No sensible person has a deep fryer of sufficient capacity for any
reasonable turkey,

But of course you knew that anyway, you controversial bugger.

"tofu" is a "subject"?????

Youi predicate some awful **** sometimes!

As defenses go, I've seen much better...

You speak as if liking tofu and deep fried turkey are mutually exclusive.

Tofu is great stuff. I especially like it braised in salted black bean sauce
and snow peas, garnished with chopped scallions. Ma po do fu is one of my
favrotie dishes to eat and to cook, but is not strictly vegetarian. Yummy.

Have you ever had deep fried turkey, Ken? Sounds like contempt prior to
investigation to me...

I think of tofu as the thing that's left in my miso soup when I'm all done.

You are guilty by association since you had the broth surrounding the
toegoo!
