Tofu in itself is probably great. But the things people do with it? Scary, sometimes. Tofurkey? Come on. That's what I mean by meat substitutes. I'm well aware that it's used on its own in many cuisines and that's fine - but I strongly prefer not to have it in mine, seeing as I don't seem to appriciate it. :)Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18224478760304481724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8814165.post-1128524729545170982005-10-05T17:05:00.000+02:002005-10-05T17:05:00.000+02:00Why the hate of tofu?

Just to let you know, there are no "weird addatives" in the tofu you make at home (it's really not that hard to do - if you've ever made cheese yourself you know the deal) and it's definately no more processed than the cheese you eat - except tofu didn't have to go through a cow to reach your table. Tofu is soybeans, water and vinegar (or lemonjuice). And the best thing about it is that it has the proteins you need, easily accessible for you body, which is not the case for soy beans. This is why it's an important part in alot of asian cooking. And for me, tofu is not a meat substitute - it is a thing that can be used for most dishes, from starter to dessert. It's perfect in the sence that it easily binds any taste you like. So why the hate?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8814165.post-1128282997137093102005-10-02T21:56:00.000+02:002005-10-02T21:56:00.000+02:00Great meal Anne.

I still haven't made a straight up coconut sorbet in all my icey adventures!<BR/><BR/>That seems to be the dessert of choice in the Thai restaurants around here. My favorite treatments:<BR/>- coconut sorbet topped with dark chocolate<BR/>- coconut sorbet sprinkled with candied rose petals<BR/><BR/>Thansk for the inspiration!Jocelyn:McAuliflowerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00740967128867118223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8814165.post-1128282723862487892005-10-02T21:52:00.000+02:002005-10-02T21:52:00.000+02:00What an absolutely marvellous spread anne.

I had some vegan margarine for the challenge and it was just grotesque looking. It wouldn't melt either. Having said that, i used to eat 'mock duck' at a malaysian restaurant in London, slathered in peanut sauce. It was really greasy and absolutely delicious. I could revisit that memory for real quite happily if I had the chance.<BR/><BR/>I am going through a bit of a coconut phase myself recently, I blame fiji. I hope to feature them a bit on my blog over the next few weeks.<BR/><BR/>thanks for taking part in IMBB19<BR/><BR/>samSamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07081680210434938456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8814165.post-1128141976701779002005-10-01T06:46:00.000+02:002005-10-01T06:46:00.000+02:00I'm absolutely with you.

(There was a four-month period this year, just after my celiac diagnosis, when I couldn't eat dairy, and I was bereft.) And I really can't stand meat substitutes. Why can't we just eat vegetables? <BR/><BR/>Great job on this. I've been enjoying your blog for ages without saying anything.

Though Im guilty of liking tofu and other soy products, its really more a health thing than giving up on these I hold dear, like cheese!tanvihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10697253775855172744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8814165.post-1128000353553560132005-09-29T15:25:00.000+02:002005-09-29T15:25:00.000+02:00Everything sounds delicious, Anne!
