Complaining about tofu being bland is the equivalent of saying that a blank canvas is boring.
Saying you hate tofu is such a self own. It is one of and maybe the most versatile food of all time. It is cheap. It’s macros are at parity with chicken breast. It keeps well AND is much safer (food safety and healthwise) than meat.
I can confirm as someone going from eating meat with every meal to vegan, basic ass fried tofu tastes better than most restaurant meat these days.
What is even wilder is that the US grows a lot of soybeans, and the ideal target for MAGA would probably be a soybean farmer.
That’s my biggest problem in trying to go vegan these days - I’m lazy. I cook maybe once or twice a month, beyond ramen noodles or sticking a frozen pizza in the oven. Vegan-oriented restaurants tend to be overpriced, small-serving-size health-food garbage, and vegan options at my go-tos (pizza places, Burger joints, Taco stands) are bland-tasting afterthoughts.
I don’t want quinoa, kale and tofu. I want a baked potato slathered in margarine, I want greasy roasted carrots and onions cooked in vegetable oil and coated in salt and spices. I want big starchy portion sizes and I want them at half the price of a meal with real protein. And I fucking hate beans.
