When Tofu's the Go

I read a recipe for tofu that some eat, with comments saying that it can’t be beat. So I will begin - throw it in the bin, and grill yourself a nice piece of meat.

Ha ha I so agree that it will be a piece of meat for me. Tofu can go in the garbage can for sure. Had me chuckling because they are trying to get us to try this veggie burger instead of meat burger in our fast food places. love phyl

Hello Phyllis … I reckon there's a lot more research to go into meat replacement. It's the taste where they fail. Tofu might be okay in a salad with heaps of dressing but that's it for me - thank you Phyllis - Lindsay

haha. I have tasted it, and it's CRAP. Same thing goes for Kimchi!! Good one.

Kimchi! Oh dear. I can barely eat a spoonful of it. Something that needs an acquired taste and I haven't got it. Perhaps mixed with tofu it might be okay - thanks Andrea - Lindsay

These soybean products never used to be on my menu, Lindsay, but i have tried them out since cholesterol alerted me to the negative side of red meat. An enjoyable limerick with a good dose of humour. ~ Regards // paul

Hello Paul … for health benefits it has benefits for sure, but I find it bland, however, when just a lad, and my taste of beer I couldn't work out why anyone would drink beer - thanks Paul - Lindsay

Hi Lindsay: Great poem; I agree with you. Give me real meat!

Hello Ralph … perhaps smothered in chili sauce beside a nice steak might make a nice side dish - perhaps - thank you Ralph - Lindsay

My husband likes both but he prefers steak that he can't have often or he will get gout. : ) I loved the humor in this poem Lindsay. xxoo

Gout! That would send anyone to eat tofu Connie. I have never suffered from it but I know a few who have. I appreciate you commenting once again Connie - Lindsay

I think most men will agree with you - a nice barbecued or grilled steak - and a beer as my husband would also say! Great limerick and fun. Hugs, Jenny.

G'day Michelle … I dare say it could blend well with dressing over salad beside a nicely cooked steak. It is probably good for us - thank you Michelle - Lindsay

I want to know what it is as I eat tofu all the time. Aloha, Connie
