I hate to be the one to ask but is there a video?
I’m a freak, but what the fuck?
You’re also being kind of judgmental.
But you’re on my couch?! How did you even get in here? And I don’t- where did you get that turkey, and why is th- oh hell no aaaaAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH
Their username checks out I guess
Common poster, always up for a chat.
Definitely notice them morenow that I saw the username. I honestly don’t pay much attention to usernames tbh

I don’t think there is, @SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world.
There’s only three t’s.
Bullshit. You love to be the one.
Can you buy me a drink next time before you call me out that hard?
I got you bro.
NSFW, in case that wasn’t obvious.
cloaca its all the flavour makers
Stuffing turkey can get you a nice case of food poisoning.
Stuffing tofu will not.
I think it depends on where you stuff it.
Alton Brown says stuffing is evil, and I believe him.
Got any good stuffed tofurky recipes?
Stuffing a turkey won’t give you food poisoning, you gotta eat it for that option.
Spatchcocked turkey is where it’s at, my friend
Come on I eat at least a kilo of tofu per meal it’s not that hard
It pairs great with a kilo of cocaine. I call it the 2-kilo meal-o
I care what other people (let) kill or what they think about what they eat. These kinds of knee-jerk comments seem childish to me.
I don’t understand anything you’ve written here.
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.
Do better, vegans.
You’re not making any sense.
I just don’t know what SA-ing and yuck on their yum means. It’s like the internet version of Foghorn Leghorn.
SA is ::: spoiler spoiler Sexual Assault :::
Yucking someone’s yum is just a phrase about trying to turn someone away from something they enjoy. like if someone was to tell me that knee pits aren’t sexy I’d say ‘don’t yuck my yum’
Your first comment
Your very next comment
I care about other people senselessly killing creatures that don’t have to die because they like the flavor. Posts just sticking their head in the sand saying “can’t everyone get along?” seem kind of childish to me.
I’ve neither stuck my head in the sand nor suggested that everyone get along.
I think with this statement you’ve uncovered the heart of the issue. Your interest in other people’s diets is unwelcome and those who do not welcome your interest are simply returning the favour.
If one pokes one’s nose in other people’s business, one should expect negative responses.
Edit: pretty ironic that you accused me of putting my head in the sand and then downvoted this comment with no response.
Well then…
Tofu is delicious.

Tofu kind of just tastes like nothing.
Yeah, it’s awesome!
Do you have a moment to talk about our lord and saviour, the spice cabinet?
“X has no flavor”
“But you can add things that do have flavor!”
You’re right, I’ll just switch to eating raw spice
Muad’Dib!
Think of me the next time you add salt or any other spice, will you?
I add flavorful ingredients to other flavorful ingredients all the time. I just want each one to contribute a flavor of its own. Tofu, rice, and pasta all fail to contribute.
Guess you also never use water in cooking
Temporarily to help things mix, but only with the intent of cooking it down. Soup is what happens when you take perfectly good food, then water it down.
They’re really just good vehicles for other flavors, like bread or potatos.
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. I had to make my food stretch when I was younger, and now I don’t have to (for now), so I’d much rather just have more of the genuinely tasty parts and leave out the bland bulk. Every rice dish is better to me without the rice, for instance. Same flavor, but more of it per bite.
You must make a very interesting jambalaya. Or lasagna.
Jambalaya without rice is delicious.
Jambalaya is a rice dish ya donut.
I’m fine with calling it something different.
That’s like saying “I had to wait until the end of the meal to eat dessert when I was younger, and now I don’t have to! Since dessert is the best part of the meal, I eat nothing but dessert now!”
I was also raised to believe that foods like rice were “filler”. Refined grains might not have much to contribute, but it’s been a lifechanging experience to have learned better that whole grains are nutritional and culinary cornerstones.
That’s like complaining that flour has no flavor. Or rice has no flavor. That’s the point. It’s a blank canvas for the chef to cook on.
I prefer not to eat the canvas. And I absolutely extend my criticism to rice.
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.
But on its own, definitely not delicious. Just bland.
Well obviously you gotta season it. Nobody says “I love potato crisps” and is talking about unseasoned chips.
I don’t get it, do they not like the taste of tofu? How is it gross?
It’s not gross. I just never had tofu that had any worthwhile taste. Probably have not had good tofu hut nonetheless.
I mean tofu by itself tastes pretty much of nothing. You need to like marinade and spice it before it tastes good.
Personally I also like making sure one side is fried until very crispy.
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.
Oh interesting, I’ve never bothered to do much about the water. Should try that next time.
I feel the same way about meat, I always put sauces on my meats
I consider myself vegetarian now, but you make a sound point…all proteins are really made by their preparation. I’ve had some damn good tofu and some really bad steaks.
Pressing it helps. It’s hard for it to soak up flavors when it’s waterlogged.
Yup, that’s what makes it good
Might be more of a texture thing
That’s what it is for my wife. I don’t mind it but she’s not a fan.
Ah I never had tofu myself but paneer is literally my most favourite ingredient. Its pretty massive among vegetarians in India but I can see why some would hate it. I am guessing tofu would be very similar in texture.
There’s various textures tofu comes in
There’s probably more
Paneer gang!
There are a variety of textures you can get from tofu.
“It isn’t a meal unless something died.”
It tastes a wee bit rancid, like burnt garlic. No thanks.
Oh I never had tofu itself but I eat paneer all the time as a vegetarian in India. But I am guessing the taste is different.
I never got this taste from tofu ever, any chance you maybe just had spoiled tofu…?
From experience, it seems to be like detecting the smell of ants. A genetic trait not present on everyone. To me, tofu smells rank, but sliced thin and after I add a splash of full salt soy sauce, it turns out delicious. My dad says the same happens to him.
And trust me, I have tried lots of types of tofu in my life, it is a staple in my diet.
No, it’s always there. Any time I try it.
Don’t post pictures of text and definitely don’t post pictures of headlines without linking to the article
What if I told you, that this headline is most likely fabricated?
Then I would downvote it and encourage others to also downvote misinformation
It’s very obviously a joke. Lighten up a bit.
Then post in circle jerk. This isn’t a comm for low effort jokes
Many people seem to disagree with you. Just ignore the post and move on?
No, we need to involve the mods. People on the internet are dumb, but we have standards and rules against misinformation for a reason
How is this blatantly obvious joke in any form misinformation? What is your train of thought here?
Is it quality content? Maybe not. But it made me chuckle a bit and sometimes that’s good enough.
You just described off-topic content for this comm
Ooooh, so you’re that one person on the old forums that would gatekeep the shit out of it, so that everyone that googled a problem ends up on said forum, just to find you telling everyone to Google the problem. Got it.
I’m not saying don’t post it. I’m saying don’t post it here. Post it where its not off-topic. We have vegan circle jerk for dumb shit like this. Use it.
Ok, fair enough. I wasn’t aware of other, more suitable communities.
Tofu alone is not anything great, but it’s also not gross. It’s pretty flat and nutural in flavor which is what makes it great because you can make it taste like most anything. It’s like saying flour is gross. Like I don’t want a spoon full of flour, but I’ll make you a damn fine pancake.
My sister always said tofu tastes like nothing and it just tastes like whatever you season it with. Ah yes, unlike the chicken that is so flavorful that you brine it overnight and then rub it with a ton of salt and spices just to not make it bland.
I love tofu. Shame that I have to fart so fucking much from it. I get real stomach cramps from tofu for some reason :(
Same, I used to eat it quite a lot as I was trying to move to eating less meat, but it has made me feel like shit the last few times I tried it.

My very omnivorous kids love tofu, especially with pork - kimchi jigae, ma po tofu, in ramen with pork belly. The youngest loves the soft tofu in miso soup too. We always just treated it like food.
@RogueBanana@lemmy.zip it’s nothing like paneer though - whole foods makes creamed spinach with coconut milk and tofu instead of cream and paneer and the tofu is vile as a dub for paneer. In about the way you would expect, if you’ve had soy milk - it’s basically soy milk paneer. Very different texture.
Everyone here saying that tofu, rice, flower, etc don’t have flavor of their own should stop adding so much sugar, salt, and fat to everything they eat.
Very funny! Even an omnivore can enjoy this one.
“Reform is gross”, said Erdugan while…
salt, pepper, mixed herb, smoked paprika, soy sauce all over a few ripped pieces of extra firm. Fry off in oil until edges are caramelised and golden. brilliant for grilled sandwiches or even on its own imo
That’s sounds so good.
Tofu general tsao is amazing. Tofu chili was nasty. It’s probably a texture thing
Probably. Maybe a softer tofu, I’m not a fan.
Even Mapo Tofu still has real meat in it for the right texture. For a 100% veggie option, you gotta go extra/ultra firm. I’ve only ever seen it at the local Korean grocer though - “American” grocery stores don’t carry stuff with the right texture. TVP might work too.
But what if I stuff a turkey’s succulent ass with the amazing flavor sponge that is tofu?
Really what is with peoples dislike of a bean product? I never got why tofu is seen as gross.
