I can't think why Purjoi is being so rude, you asked a perfectly civilised question!.

I'm not a vegetarian, but I have had dinner at vegan's and vegetarian's houses and depending on the cook, some meals have been delicious!.

The important thing for a vegetarian is to make sure that you have access to vitamin B12, usually found in meat, fish and dairy products!. Tofu is a good source of protein, but there are many others!. Nuts, especially peanuts, and various pulses such as beans and chickpeas also contain a lot of protein and can be transformed into very appetising food!.

Tofu, untreated is actually pretty tasteless, and can only be interesting to eat if it has been sufficiently marinated!.

If you are not a vegan, be sure to consume plenty of dairy products such as eggs and cheese!. Eggs especially contain an enormous amount of protein!.

If you are a vegan, then you can get vitamin B12 from Marmite, Vegemite or any other type of yeast extract!.

Good luck with it!. I'm sure your reasons for becoming a vegetarian are perfectly honourable and I wish you much success!.

You do not have to eat tofu, some vegetarians enjoy the taste and variety it offers, and others do not!. Tofu is a good source of protein, which is why so many vegetarians choose to eat it!. However, there are other sources of protein besides tofu(quite a few), and you can eat those instead!. Protein is in just about everything, so there is no need to worry about that!.

I personally love tofu, it is a great add on to meals, as it absorbs the flavor of the food you cook it with!. If you prepare/cook it correctly it has a nice flavor and texture!.

As long as you are balancing your diet properly there is no need to eat tofu!. You cannot live on just fruit and vegetables, you need whole grains, beans, legumes, seeds, nuts, etc!. to maintain a proper balance!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

You don't have to have tofu but you do need lots of different sources of protein!. If you want something that resembles meat while you are making the transition try Quorn or soya mince!. Health food shops also often sell tins of 'vegetarian chicken' which is made of gluten which doesn't sound particularly appetising but is in fact very nice!.

You can also use lentils or beans in place of meat in lots of traditional recipes like bolognaise sauce or chili con carne!. Nuts and seeds also contain protein, and vegetables such as peas and sweetcorn have small amounts!. Then of course you can get extra protein from cheese and eggs!.

Going back to the tofu, it is an acquired taste and might be worth trying to get used to as it can be delicious!. Try cutting into cubes and deep frying - it's much nicer that way!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

You never know until you try it!. Try it and if you don't like it, don't eat it again!. Simple!. ;] I like the marinated stuff 'cause it ain't bland!.!.!.!.!.we veg heads aren't obliged to eat tofu lol

Edit: Sushi comes in a wide variety of vegetarian styles!. Tastes great and it's one of those things that people assume tastes gross without trying it!.!.!.!.!.!.I lurve it XDWww@FoodAQ@Com

You need some protein sources!. Tofu is a great product (from soybeans) because it can easily absorb flavor!. I am def!. not a veggie, but for parties etc I usually do a couple dishes!. Lots of comments / questions on What was that - its good!.!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

No one HAS to eat tofu!. I'm a vegetarian, and I don't like tofu!. You should have protein though!. Peanut butter, tofu, edamame beans, cheese and dairy, and nuts can be good sources of protein!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Precisely and it is absolutely tasteless!.

But you need protein from somewhere and it is full of it!. You will need to get it from milk, eggs, cheese etc!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

ok i am a vegetarian too and i hate tofu i only like this sushi called inari that has sweet tofu and sweet rice its tre delish lolololz i personally dont eat tofu and i dont know why ppl think all vegetarians eat tofu all the time !!Www@FoodAQ@Com

The reason that soya bean products such as tofu are recommended is because they supposedly have the 7 essential proteins or amino acids that adultss require however two complimentary sources can do the same job!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
