[Ksss]

I have to agree...ewwwwwwwww

My son who was allergic to everything was convinced to try tofu, so as the good mom I thought I was, I tried it(just so he could see that I would like it too)...I threw it in the garbage and told my son there was nooooo way he was gonna eat that stuff!

The Koreans have some vastly interesting recipes involving tofu. Of course, they're the people who brought us kimchi.

I've never eaten it, have not intention. I'm about as strictly carniverous as a salad lover can get. Raw steak cut into pieces with a lovely salad on the side and a tart basalmic vingiagrette. Mmmm.

I like a hot, spicy, Korean soup that has both tofu and meat in it. Other than that i can't stand the stuff.
