tofu

<font color=blue>You sound like a real fan of the stuff, Bird.</font color=blue>

Yep, Harv, like the other guys said, it ain't bad, it's just nothing./w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif Kind of like rice cakes; I'd just as soon eat a piece of cardboard./w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif

Actually, I consider myself among the least finicky eaters in the world; like variety and can eat most anything, but there are a few things, such as tofu, rice cakes, raw cucumbers (watermelon rind tastes better in my opinion), and yogurt for which I would not pay a nickel a carload./w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif

Just reading about TOFU has me salivating for a spicy hot garlic flavored stir fry that has lots of tofu and shrimp in it.

Fresh baked bread slathered with butter and topped with cucumber slices are one of my summer favorites.

A couple of years ago I watched a PBS show on the making of Tofu. I don't remember much about it, other than it is bean solids, and it involves floating the stuff in a big open vat and skimming the "good" stuff off the top, then pressing the curds and cutting them.

Sorry it's such a sketchy description, but I figured I'd never make the stuff, so why know how to?

Egon, the hot bread and butter sounds great! But the addition of cucumbers sounds like something my wife and daughters would do. I grow lots of cucumbers 'cause they eat'em like candy, but I'm afraid I have no use for them myself. I do like a few pickles now and then, but would rather have pickled okra than pickled cucumbers.

Did you ever see the "Far Side" cartoon where the pride of lions has attacked a herd of very square-cut-looking antelope-type-animals, made a kill but are spitting it out? The caption says something like "These lions accidentally killed a tofudabeast, one of the obnoxious 'health' antelopes of the Serengeti."

My reaction is similar.

Bird, I'm with you and Thomas on this one. Tofu is what food eats (borrowed from papa Titus)!
Around here you can even go to the local dairy bar and have yourself a soy ice-cream cone.

I'm pretty much the omnivore myself, but there are a few (strange) things that don't agree with me:
Doughnuts
Peanut butter
Cucumbers
Iceberg lettuce
Green peppers
Just repeat on me all day, yet I can swallow a whole bud of raw garlic and be fine.

Bird:
Never had pickled Okra as we coundn't grow it up in the cold north.

Pickled okra is great! You should be able to find the Talk of Texas brand. I've seen it in both Tennessee and Missouri, so I bet it gets around. It's not nearly as good as homemade, but it does give the general idea. I like mine as garlic dill, with a hot pepper in each jar. Great with beer, and you can brush your teeth with the fuzzy little buggers. /w3tcompact/icons/grin.gif Just kidding about that last part.
