My DIL prepares it with dried fish and a Japanese sauce poured over the top, a little ginger and shallots....I like tofu!

Re: CCT,
It is also called bean curd which is really a more useful name for it in English. It is not fattening, it is pretty healthful stuff by most accounts. But I'm sure you could make it fattening if you wanted to.

Goodness Ciel everyone is putting me off it, it sounds like a kind of toffee , but now it is brain like. Years since we loved to eat the brains of rabbits, before the disease of course.
What I would like to know is it fattening, because if it is I would rather have strawberries and real cream. As my brother is the cook I will ask him if he would like to try tofu. He will probably say he has, but we shall see.

Interesting - I have used tofu in the past and still ocasionally do - in small quantities. There is some reserch showing that the estrogen compounds in soy have a feminizing influence on males - although the jury is still out, as it invariably is on such issues...

anything that reminded me of trying to eat brains would make me ill I think. I sort of like a hard piece or two of Tofu...perhaps your recipe would appeal.

Re: Pat,
I can see how the soft tofu would have that brainish consistancy, and I don't think that would appeal to me, either, even without the history. I much prefer the firmer kind! For one thing, you can flip it with a spatula!

I've tried it several times, incorporated it into casseroles, etc., but
just can't seem to find it on my shopping list. It's about the texture of cooked brains, which Aunt Ethel thought was the perfect breakfast at butchering time on the farm - scrambled brains and eggs. Ewwww, yuck!
