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.
