A Tale of Tofu

What is tofu? It’s not cheese, and it certainly isn’t meat, although it’s often used as a substitute for meat or cheese. It’s not a brick of stucco, although it closely resembles one. It’s not just mashed soy beans, although it is made from soy beans. Something must be done to the mashed soy beans to turn it into tofu, but what? Maybe it’s been frightened by a ghost causing it to curdle. Maybe it gets bitten by a vampire (although I can’t imagine why a vampire would want to do that). Maybe it was chewed, than spat out by a rabid cow. Maybe it was pooped on by a soap-eating cockroach. Who knows? No one I think. It’s just one of lifes great mysteries, like what happens to the numerous socks that go into the dryer but never come out.
