What is Tofu?

Remember that old trick to staying awake in Church, adding "in bed" after every phrase in a hymn? This is a similar trick - read some of the following definitions with Tofu as a Person in mind:

On its own, tofu is undoubtedly bland. As well as being almost tasteless, it has an unappealing appearance and a slightly unpleasant feel. It looks a bit like cheese which has lost its color, but with none of the delicious flavor or texture that a good cheese can provide.

The best way to store firm tofu is to submerge it in water in a plastic container. Keep it in the refrigerator, changing the water every day. That way, the tofu will keep for about a week. You can also freeze it. When it is defrosted, it takes on a darker color and a chunky, meaty texture.
