My six year old niece heard us talking about a recipe and asked what tofu was. Rob started to explain, including the phrase, “They add calcium carbonate to it.”
I went, “Um, you might…”
He caught himself and said, “It looks like white jello.”
That was all she really wanted to know.
Wiggles like it, too. I’ve been known to play Bad Vegetarian and bring out a block of firm tofu to jiggle at the self-described “carnivores” during large get-togethers. It helps if you’ve added a toupee of seaweed salad or spinach pasta before you do this.
