Tofu with hot sauce—sounds like dim sum!

The piece of tofu I tried once didn’t make it anywhere near close to half good, and no amount of hot sauce could have possibly made it taste better to me….

Still doesn’t have a pleasant texture.

Tofu or not tofu. That is the question.

No Tofu – that is the answer!

There’s better medicine for a case of tofu.

Amen.

There’s a fine line between enough hot sauce and too much hot sauce, and you only find that line after you’ve crossed it.

Tofu is bland and lacks texture no matter what. You can’t to-fool me

that is my brother in Texas

We got some fried tofu a while back, won’t be doing that again.

That would be a waste of Hot Sauce ;-)

EspeciallyTRUE for: “C” rations, MREs, & Midnight Balony & Cheese Sandwitch at the Mess,

Cover tofu with bacon grease—it makes it easier to slide it into the garbage.

Though this is true, over the years hot sauce has managed to lay a fast track through the digestive system.

Know you can eat it, and wanting to eat it are two different things.

No.

Dried School Glue….

That’s why soldiers always have bottle of Tabasco Sauce in theit pack; for the C-rations in my day, and MREs for today

I put that s*** on everything. What a great line for a commercial.

Not hot sauce, catsup. Pluggers from the Midwest [and truck stops] know that catsup will cover every cooking mistake or bad menu choice. Hot sauce may cover it temporarily, but it will remind you about it for a long time.

Plugger should eat more chicken.

friend left some vegan sausages for me

Told her there was not enough ketchup to make them taste good

A thick breading and deep frying really helps as well.

In my mind (and mouth) there is NOTHING that would improve the flavor of ‘tofu’, liver, avocado, or asparagus. They are all the most vile creations ever put on this earth ! ! !

Not a fan of hot sauce myself, but I can eat all sorts of things with the right kind of sauce or other condiment.

Pass the Texas Pete sauce.

I had friends whose 2 young kids LOVED tofu & ketchup!

Or catchup!

“This tofu’s not half bad. It’s not half-good, either…”

Toe-food? Is that kinda like feet cheese?

Tofu’s not bad, if you have it at a good Chinese restaurant (real Chinese, not Americanized Chinese). But I will say that there’s at least one thing I’ve eaten (more accurately, attempted to eat) that no amount of hot sauce could make palatable: chitlins.

next time, try a bit of wasabi and soy sauce, with some sliced spring onions. yum. better yet, come to japan and have some real tofu. or just keep complaining about the cr@p they sell in the u.s. and put ketchup on it (what a waste of ketchup)… ☺

Neither husband nor I eat spicy food. I am from northern European people – we don’t eat spicy.
