Carnivores will eat literally anything before eating tofu.

    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?

    The number of people I grew up near whose entire exposure to "spice" was salt and occasionally pepper is staggering. My younger brother introduced his wife's family to paprika as an 18 year-old, and it blew their minds. This wasn't even the midwestern US. My own mother asked where I got "the spicy ketchup". It was Heinz. She isn't allergic to tomatoes, and had been eating ketchup her entire life.

    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
