Title: Worst thing ever invented...
Post by Serowbot on 06/16/14 at 11:31:12

I do hate cell phones...
... but, gee... there are so many things...

I'm going to give it to Tofu...
Once upon a time, somebody created some stuff,.. with no shape, no texture, no color, and no taste, and said...
"There,.. I'm done. It's perfect. I've created the perfect food"..." :-?...
"Ta da!"...

It's the total opposite of bacon...
It's like,... anti-bacon!...;D ;D ;D...

Bacon is the "Universal Fairy Dust" of the food world. It makes everything better.

Tofu.....it makes everything......blander.

Tofu, man made cauliflower.. w/o the texture.. Cauliflower is like crunchy air.. I dont actually KNOW what Toe Foo tastes like, since Ive never been brave enough to put it in my mouth, but it looks like it would taste like mushy air. I do think it ironically well named,

Hey dude,, whatchya got there?

Uhh,, Im not real sure, but it tastes like Toe Foo...

You're just eating it wrong....
Marinated in vino cotto, is great. like eating delicious blobs of snot. Hey, oysters are snot like too, and delicious.
Fried tofu in laksa or wet curries and stir fry, lovely.
IMO, YMMV, FWIW etc ;)

Oh C'mon Guys. TOFU adds protein! and absolutely nothing else. like flavor or texture or color or aroma. You don't eat Tofu, you add to things you do eat. :P

Tofu, along with soy sauce, adds toxins and phytoestrogens. Causing "moobs", 8 year old girls with "C" cups, lethal gas, explosive diarrhea, skipping heart beats (a-fib), blood pressure/chemistry control issues, respiratory distress/arrest, uncontrollable thirst and sweating, thyroid storms...

Soy is evil in any form, edible or as resins for manufacturing. It should be banned from the North American continent as a health hazard and a monocropping nightmare. Round up ready versions are unfit for so much as animal feed and lead to herbicide resistant noxious weeds.

Yes, it served a vital role as a land stabilizer and soil conditioner during the dust bowl. That role ended almost 70 year ago... time for soy, kudzu, Himalayan cane blackberries, Scotch Broom, etc to be eradicated from our shores.

And yet, Asians have been eating it for a million years and living into their hundreds, very low levels of obesity or heart disease (unlike the USA). While my gas could be considered lethal, I don't get explosive diarrhea, a-fib, blood pressure problems or the rest. I'm more worried about the poisons on my fresh food, antibiotics in my meat and the leaders of other countries deciding the fate of the planet as if it's a "Choose Your Own Adventure" book. Tofu is a minor irritant at best. :P

No offense, Gizzo...
...but, I can make anything taste good, if I wrap it in bacon, and smother it in cheese...

There ain't no recipe's saying wrap it in tofu... ;D...

Title: Re: Worst thing ever invented...
Post by gizzo on 06/17/14 at 00:00:14

None taken, I never said anything about me not liking bacon or cheese ;). Bacon makes life worth living.
Reminds me of something I vaguely remember Jerry Seinfeld ranting about once: Rhubarb, and how he can't believe people eat it, them saying it's great with enough sugar, him countering with "leaves would taste good with enough sugar". :D
My biggest gripe with tofu is the false pretense: It looks like haloumi, but the taste is nearly completely absent. But I still like it.

Has anyone ever tried Vegamite? Probably the most gross looking, foul tasting , stinking food there could possibly be! In Europe and Australia I guess they use it on toast and crap for a spread. Someone sent me some after they said they spread some on the exhaust pipe of a car and stunk up their neighborhood. It's jet black and I hope no one ever talks you into trying some. It comes from hell!

Post by gizzo on 06/17/14 at 03:59:04

Oh dude.....
I just bought a jar of vegemite today. The kids put it on the list. Vegemite is great. Like our national food or something. I think Im'a gonna be sticking up for everything that the rest of you hate?
Here's one for the hate list: That revolting, sloppy, orange so called "cheese" stuff you get on everything in an American style restaurant. That stuff is gross. Went out for dinner a few weeks back. Blue cheese burger, Jalapeno poppers, shoestring fries, buffalo wings and the rest. Was all delicious, but had that foul cheesy crap on the side on every dish. Do you guys really eat it?

Hey Gizzo that is "American" cheese, but it is not really cheese, it is a pasteurized, processed cheese food. I'm with you, I avoid that stuff, give me some cheese that is really, well, cheese.

My wife is mostly vegetarian...and I am mostly not.

We have a good system going. She eats all the To-Fu....and whenever she gets a dish that has some bacon on it....she gives it to me!

She never orders a desert - but is always willing to share mine when I order some. I have developed a new plan....and I now order all my deserts "with bacon"!

I thought TOFU was something Samoans ate, but I'm frequently wrong. Where I come from we have Marmite, a similar product to Vegemite. I don't eat it, or not since I was a child. There was something of a national wail when the factory producing it broke down last year.

Title: Re: Worst thing ever invented...
Post by gizzo on 06/18/14 at 00:55:09

minor factoid: Vegemite used to be called Pawill. a bit of a gag to boost it's popularity. The advertising went "If Marmite, then Pawill". Pretty bad and it didn't work so well.

I used to love Marmite... (can't get it here)...
I guess it's vegetarian,...
... but, it tastes like an entire cow condensed into a tiny jar... ;D...

One of the guys on the gymnastics team at Odessa College was from Australia. His family kept him in a good Vegamite supply. That guy had the WORST gas.. frikken green clouds that peeled paint & scorched sinus passages.

Title: Re: Worst thing ever invented...
Post by 1st Sgt on 06/18/14 at 19:05:28

there is no Tofu, Cheese or Bacon in Vegamite. Which probably explains a lot ;D

Title: Re: Worst thing ever invented...
Post by Serowbot on 06/18/14 at 22:08:59

Dang foreigners on here,.. got me thinkin' about the Marmite on toast I ate as child...

So,... I just ordered a jar from England off Amazon... ;D...
$8 to revive a memory... not a bad deal...

It might even be strong enough to make tofu edible... :-?...
Naaaaaa.... I wouldn't waste it on tofu... ;D..

Title: Re: Worst thing ever invented...

At least Marmite mightn't have any pheryltostesterones or pheral togosterylls in it. Wish I could spell phenylterroerits.

Here in Hawaii we have poi (rhymes with toy) made by pounding taro root. Like tofu, it's an acquired NON-taste.

JOG, thanks for the "toe foo" spelling!

I eat what we grow here at home from the pasture, garden, and orchard: beef and potatoes with homemade butter. Dried apples and fresh high fat milk (not from the store) for dessert. Cholesterol was 170 this spring.
