Answer 1

i like both, have to have good recipes for tofu though, i like it in place of scrambled eggs....mmmmm......have u ever tried other veg. "meat" substitutes?

Answer 2

I'm answering this with the assumption that you're a vegetarian. Perhaps your mom doesn't think it's good b/c she can easily eat meat/the real thing instead? Have you asked her if she's ever had any of the products? Maybe she's just going by the old stereotype that tofu products are horrible and bland. There are several products out there now that are excellent. Like someone said, tofu basically has no taste. Think: beans, b/c that's all it is really. The tofu products like fake hamburgers, hot dogs etc. are usually made very tasty. Boca is a good brand, so is Yves veggie cuisine, and Amy's. If your mom is concerned about your health I think she should at least try getting one or two things for you to try, otherwise how are you getting your protein and B vitamins? Many of the fake meats are enriched with lots of the vitamins vegetarians tend to lack. Try getting some frozen Boca burgers first and fry them up as you normally would with a hamburger and eat them on toasted buns with ketchup, mustard etc. Some fried onion adds flavour too. Who knows, maybe your mom will like them too! With most tofu products you have to jazz up a little in order to satisfy meat eater standards, but they often can't tell the difference once you do. Good luck! PS - the best way that I like plain tofu, is the very firm kind cut into small cubes/rectangles and dipped into a batter and fried in oil. They are excellent with sweet and sour sauce, similar to how chicken nuggets are prepared. Back when I was a teenager this is what my mom would make for me (she liked it too!) and this was long before all the specialty products came to my region... I was lucky to even find tofu!

Tofu's tasty too but I'm not yet used to the taste though we often have that in our table. I'm a meat worshipper.

I like them both. But, I am a carnavore at heart! I love tofu (cold) with soy sauce, ground fresh ginger, and lots of lemon juice--yummo!
