    On this topic nobody gives a shit about tofu and beans, they care that an inferior tasting, but ecological superior product, is more expensive to the point where normal people will not or even cannot choose it en masse yet.

      This is such a self report. Tofu tastes great, you just haven’t been around people that know how to cook it. Of course people are allowed to have different preferences but to unilaterally dismiss tofu. When it can taste like literally anything, one of one of the most versatile ingredients known to humanity, just makes you sound sheltered. I have been regularly asked if I made a non-vegan dish for the potluck because they mistook tofu for meat. It’s not commonly prepared in America or Europe, but to say “normal people don’t like tofu” just makes the content of Asia laugh.

      Like truly, I linked recipes for a reason.

        I think they’re talking about immitation meat, not tofu…
