Types of tofu are silken, soft, medium, firm, extra firm, and super firm

[–] Chailles@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oh. For a second there I thought it was going to be like "Tofu only refers to a specific kind of compressed soybean and you've got other variants like 'Sofu', 'Kofu', and 'Tafu'".

Surely, I can't be the only one where that came to mind?

I thought they were gonna be like “Tofu is the opposite of fromfu”

[–] SatyrSack@lemmy.one 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This implies the existence of silkenware as well as hard tofu.

Tofu is nothing more than a vessel for sauce, its only as good as what's on it

Tell me you eat shitty meat without telling you eat shitty meat

[–] thisfro@slrpnk.net 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What meat tastes good on its own?

[–] jantin@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

...any? Maybe with exception of chicken (tho a well roasted chicken with skin has a lot of taste even without copious amounts of spices) but I was never into high-quality poultry. All beef is routinely cooked by plain frying or grilling. Grilled pork, bacon is also a big thing. Bacon is meat, people eat it without spices or anything. Roast birbs.

Of course this all under assumption you like the taste of meat, which not everyone does and it's fine.

[–] thisfro@slrpnk.net 1 points 1 year ago

I don't eat meat, so I might be wrong, but isn't bacon usually cured and sometimes even contains added sugar?

Back when I ate meat, I found any meat to be uneatable without good seasoning. Especially chicken is 90% spice flavour and 10% texture (which can easily be achieved with plant based ingredients).

I take that fucker straight out the packaging and eat it raw

Did I stutter?

Usually smoked, yes. :D

[–] WarmSoda@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No way. I've had it. High school gf mother would make for dinner when I went over. Ugh

[–] endomorph@feddit.de 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Proper Tofu, smoked. Press the water out, dice, shake in a bag with oil, sesame and flour, then stir-fry. Try that, just one more time (ofc you don't have to), with matching sides, and see how you like that. Can be quite not-so-bad.

But I can understand that you don't like it!
