Florida man admits to liking tofu after learning that "You can't just whop it straight into the pan and hope for the best."

An omnivorous male from Tampa Florida has begrudgingly admitted to liking tofu after a vegan friend told him how to cook it, explaining "You can't just whop it straight into the pan and hope for the best."

"I could tell that Jeff had no clue about cooking when he told me that he'd been using silken tofu" explained Sarah. "That's rule number one with tofu" she continued, "Don't buy silken. Nobody, I mean absolutely N-O-B-O-D-Y has the slightest clue what silken tofu is used for. Like literally, I'm pretty sure these silken tofu companies would have gone into liquidation years ago if it wasn't for brainless little man-children like Jeff."

"As I wrapped the tofu in a dish cloth he just stared at it like I was doing some fucking next level Harry Houdini shit." "When I started," Sarah paused. "When I started piling heavy books on top of it... Well... Jeff was dumbstruck. I think he'd concluded that I was building some sort of flood defence system."

"Anyway so I unwrapped the tofu half an hour later and started cutting it up into rectangles - he was fine with that... I heated up some oil in a pan... Again, no confusion there. Then I started adding some smoked paprika and salt into the pan..... I don't think Jeff had been prepared for that moment." "You have to season it Jeff!" I explained. "Oh" said Jeff, looking gormless. "I don't think he'd quite grasped the concept of 'seasoning'..."

"Long story short, I kept frying it until both sides were golden brown and he was quick to try some." "I asked him if it was alright and he just nodded." "I said 'Is it alright Jeff? Do you think it's good?'" "The gentle soul couldn't help but let out a little grin. It felt like charity work cooking for him."

"I could tell he wanted to say something" Sarah concluded, "but his male pride must have gotten the better of him because he just stood there, nibbling away at it." "Looking back on it though, I think I may  have seen a little glint in his eyes which sort of said 'It nice.... I mean... It not dead body but it nice!' "
