Socializing must be difficult for you, then. It’s a very basic description of tact in a specific scenario. “tact” is how you approach something. You can honestly want to tell someone to stop eating meat with a joke relying on grossness, and get different results based on how you go about doing so.
Basic socializing skills. Standup commedians are basically professional social tacticians. The fact I have to explain this, and am getting downvoted for it is pathetic.

They contribute texture, sure. And with enough maillard reaction, potato and bread can pull their own weight. I just hate the idea of filler ingredients.

What I like about tofu is precisely that it doesn’t have much of a flavor, and simply takes on whatever you are cooking it in or with. The only time “plain” tofu really does it for me on its own is when it’s nice and salty and fried really crispy…but even then it’s better with some kind of sauce.

Really pressing all the water out first is key to get it crispy. Soaking it briefly in eggwash (or oil if vegan) and breading it with breadcrumbs or even just flour before frying it hard makes it soooooo good. Can add spices to the eggwash too.
