Complaining about tofu being bland is the equivalent of saying that a blank canvas is boring.
Saying you hate tofu is such a self own. It is one of and maybe the most versatile food of all time. It is cheap. It’s macros are at parity with chicken breast. It keeps well AND is much safer (food safety and healthwise) than meat.
I can confirm as someone going from eating meat with every meal to vegan, basic ass fried tofu tastes better than most restaurant meat these days.
What is even wilder is that the US grows a lot of soybeans, and the ideal target for MAGA would probably be a soybean farmer.
It’s unfortunate that tofu and beyond beef and other plant-based proteins marketed themselves as meat replacements.
Beyond beef, for instance, tastes absolutely nothing like beef… but it still slaps. If you go in expecting a 1:1 meat replacement (which most brain dead carnivores are, unfortunately) you’re gonna be disappointed. If you go in thinking “wow this is a new ingredient that will open up a whole new realm of flavor and texture in my cooking” then you’re in good shape.
Of course, you have to actually cook your own food to begin with if this is going to work, which… I’m realizing fewer and fewer people cook, and even fewer know how to cook, and fewer still know how to cook and actually enjoy cooking.
I disagree and it actually does but it has off tastes too it that imo are probably the pomegranate extract or something idk
The Impossible ‘indulgent patties’ emulate beef almost too well. They almost smell like beef too.
