Disturbing to read.

Sorry , had my man bun wound up a little tight this morning. It should read .222 I should also mention that most of my hunting kit is made from natural fibers, and my sandals are used tyre treads.

We could start a forum Tofu calling competition, contestants could video them selves and post it.
Maybe during the second lock down?

There is no " have never tried that shit" option?

Sorry. Thoughtless of me. Won't happen again.

Tofu in NZ = Foul rubber-like substance...of questionable origins...
Tofu in SE Asia = Delicious. Silken tofu is where it's at! Especially Mapo tofu....

It's a bit like Euro vegetarian food vs Indian vegetarian food.
You feel sorry for the poor sods eating Euro vegetarian food. Whereas the Indian stuff ain't half bad.

Note - Im not a vegetarian...but when traveling through some of the more interesting parts of SE Asia, my risk avoidance strategy states:
Meat/ seafood = My dear friend the toilet bowl we shall never be parted
Tofu / Vege = probably ok

I used to eat it when I lived in Japan for a year. it was cut into small cubes and fried. Very tasty. As Mr Matu says the stuff we get here is no reflection on how it can be. Maybe a bit like old Grandmas boiled cabbage. Boiled till all the flavour and texture is gone. No surprise it tastes like poos.

Why is it so bad here in NZ?

boiled cabbage, hell i swear thats what 90%of rest homes smell like. poor oldies having to eat that stuff

MH I would think since they don't send the good stuff here. Fresh is always best so maybe it doesn't travel well and needs a good shelf life so has more crap and preservative in it. Kind of like the opposite of red meat here, which all the good stuff gets sent overseas to get good money and we are left with the crap here.

problem is its cheaper overseas for our good stuff than the crap we get sold here.
leg of lamb in las angeles last year (not on special ) was $22 for nz produced

I have no opinion of tofu. I will never have an opinion of tofu. I do, however, have an opinion of those who advocate the use of tofu for any purpose that involves the human consumption of it (although it may have a use as a condensed form of wallpaper paste - judged entirely from its appearance)!

needs to be sold with straps so it can be used as jandals

If mung beans could clear their throat this would be the result.
If you marinate it in yummy stuff like teriyaki marinade it is not completely awful.
