Exactly. There are so many who don’t like tofu. Like my mother in-law, who just took a bite of raw tofu and came to the conclusion it’s not for her. Yeah, no shit.
My wife and I then spent some time serving her various recipes, where tofu is one of the main ingredients. And now she likes it.
I like, what my wife says about tofu: it’s like a blank canvas. You have to paint it with spices and various cooking methods to make it beautiful.
Another comparison are Mozzarella cheese or noodles. Bland and boring on their own, but great in combination with sauces and spices.
… Now I wan’t to eat the “scrambled tofu”, my wife sometimes cooks. It’s fucking delicious.
Adding here - have people ever had plain, microwaved chicken? If that sounds disgusting to you, but that’s how you expect veggies (/tofu) to be prepared, you may be failing to grasp the concept of cooking vegetables with the same care and attention that one would prepare a piece of meat.
Literally every time I cook for someone who says
“I’ve always hated X veggie” they come out of it going “wow, I’ve never had it cooked like that, that was really good, nothing like how (parent) used to make it”.
99x out of 100, all I did was roast it with some seasoning (+salt), exactly like I would treat a piece of meat, and they act like their whole childhood was a lie.
