I want you to stop eating tofu right now; not next week, next month or next year.
I insist that you stop eating tofu, it will rid you of joy and good cheer.
How can you enjoy its banality,
that rubbery , slippery slab;
that sits in the pan with finality,
deathly white, unattractively drab?

I want you to stop eating tofu…it will never replace proper food.
Your invalid reasons for eating it, result from your mind-altered mood.
It is boringly, gnawingly lacking
in anything one could enjoy.
You're aware, I assume, its all “packaging” ?
Its just watery, pre-processed soy!

I implore you to STOP EATING TOFU…you cannot be serious, dear!
I’m convinced if you stopped eating tofu, you would see that you’re not thinking clear.
The muck sucks the pleasure from eating
and makes for a sad, drear repast.
As a doorstop the stuff takes some beating
but alas and alack it won’t last.

So I beg of you stop eating tofu….. try cardboard, or rubberised sheet.
Boiled, fried or braised it is GHASTLY.
For Pete’s sake find SOMETHING to EAT!

Like the poem as a write even though I don't share its view
of tofu which is perfectly delicious when a tofu of good quality
is prepared correctly. And it comes in SO many varieties!
There's the black stuff colored with squid ink and infused
with fermented shrimp that has such a low water content
that it chews like steak... And on the sweet side, a fruity
Papaya-Coconut. There's probably a haggis tofu out there
somewhere. Evil lurks.

If tofu is made with squid ink and shrimp, papaya and coconut, too;
and the texture of steak,
Give me a break,
You may as well leave out tofu!

Abu, you are a man of few words. I will take that as a compliment....and so may you!

I believe I've tasted this dish before,
and once was quite too much,
if not quite too much more!

Yes, I trundle the old stuff out daily. Put it on display like brocante on a pavement. Soon the new will filter through; if only I had a muse as you do.

I must say, I do like tofu... but only as something to serve with my steak

It's not the fault of the foodstuff itself, but the bland and colourless people who champion it above all else.

Tofu say, "Get out of my whey you curd!"
