What food item are people sleeping on? (feddit.org)

Hello hello! So I'm trying to broaden my culinary horizon right now, things have gotten a bit stale since I have a mild case of ARFID and tend to fall back on safe foods (protein bars, fruit pureés, burritos) when I don't keep an eye on my diet. Ideally I'm looking for something that's healthy and reqires little prep. And it should be obtainable in Germany. But if the title speaks to you in any other way I'm interested to hear your thoughts anyway.

See, this is why I come to the comments: To pick up tiny little bits of interesting cultural knowledge.

A family member said they disliked it because of it being gummy.
Might also be a brand thing because silky tofu from the asian store was just silky but tasteless and would need some type of marinade.

Tofu tastes like soy! It's a very mild flavour but I can definitely taste and smell it in tofu and soy milk. I suppose people who are not used to eating tofu might think it has no flavour at all, but as someone who's eaten tofu their whole life, I can definitely recognise soy as a flavour. Just a very subtle one.

Maybe it was the brand/dish I used it (once) with didnt make it very obvious.
oh well. Maybe next time :)

I think people who didn't grow up eating tofu, or just haven't eaten a lot of tofu, may easily believe that tofu has no flavour. Or maybe if your nose/tongue is just less sensitive. I can most easily smell it when tofu is frying in a pan, personally. Like I said, it's really subtle, and easily overpowered.

I ate crumbled raw tofu (with a little salt) on crunchy peanut butter toast for breakfast. It was delicious. And tasted like tofu.

Usually tofu is cooked with a sauce, and it can be cooked a bunch of different ways. It takes on a lot of flavor.
