Hi, I don't think this is a stupid question at all!

 

As I tried to make clear in my original post on the topic, it's not the " me@ty "

flavor that I

like -- because the mock me@t I've had doesn't taste like me@t, or at least,

what I

remember it tasting like.

 

The texture, however, is incredibly fantastic. Wonderfully tender-chewy and

unlike

other tofu I've eaten.

 

Because I eat a lot of tofu, I am always interested in learning new ways to

prepare it. I

would love to know how to prepare tofu like this at home.

 

So for me, I am not interested in eating the " mock me@t " for its me@t flavor

(because

there really isn't any). I don't want to eat me@t, which is why I don't. I do,

however,

want to eat tofu that is prepared in a really excellent manner.

 

As also mentioned in my original post on the topic, the words " mock me@t " is how

the

restaurant describes it on their menu -- not how I personally describe it. Me,

I'd call it

" really delicious tender-chewy tofu. "

 

(Personally, I don't get real hung up on labels. If it tastes good and is

vegetarian, I want

to eat it. I don't care if someone else has labeled it " mock me@t. " )
