Gelatinous, pretty much flavorless hunks of bean curd. Good addition of (some, but not all kinds of) protien to a vegetarian diet, and it can be flavored pretty easily.
Ever since I became vegetarian, I started eating more (free range) eggs, nuts, mushrooms (heh), and tofu!

zacrii is right about tofu having more protein and amino acids than meat. However, he forgot to mention that most of those proteins and amino acids are not in a form that humans can digest, since the soy from which tofu is made from is NOT fermented using the millenia-old Asian techniques of processing the beans, which also help neutralize the estrogen-like toxins that soy has. In addition, the soy products are acid washed in aluminum vats, which increases the risk of metal poisoning.
And for those who say that tofu is a meat substitute, remember that tofu does NOT contain Vitamin B-12, a nutrient found naturally in animal products and synthesized for supplement pills using microscopic animals.

Regardless of the bullshit that hippies and vegans spew, there is NOTHING natural about tofu. If you do not believe me, take a good look at the ingredients used to make it, the many processing methods of tofu, and the additives. Most of which are carcinogenic.

A cheese-like product made from mixing soy beans with Plaster of Paris. Now used in products that try to imitate meat.
I tried a Boca burger after hearing from the vegetarians that soy tofu is healthier than meat. Ever since I bit into that soy burger, I vowed never to be tricked by those vege-bastards again! Also, I had a hard time eating anything else after that because that horrible-tasting shit-for-a-burger left a metallic taste in my mouth for hours.

<noun> a person who does not like to engage in physical activity. They prefer to just sit & veg instead of moving around when you invite them to join you for activities.
<noun> When one is active & athletic, dating a TOFU can pose problems: You want to spend time together enjoying the great outdoors while he wants to sit on the couch and play DVD movies all night long!
