I'm a fairly recent convert to tofu. Prepared correctly, it can be delicious. Prepared poorly, and it's truly horrendous.

I think part of why tofu gets such a bad rap is that when people try it at home the first time, they probably do a pretty bad job of making it. It took me several failed dishes before it was decent. Plus like, before plant-based meat was the rage, tofu was the de facto standard for vegetarian meat replacements - the tofurkey being a pretty egregious example

But a white suburban mom from the '80s making tofu for their teenager who really isn't into it? I'm probably with Peter on this one

Smoked tofu, stir-fried tofu, or just diced tofu with an amazing sauce, there are so many ways you can make it really delicious. I'm not even a vegetarian but I still love (properly prepared) tofu!

My mom was very much like Andi in regards to food. Both in cooking inability, and insistence you must eat what she made.

Many nights I was Peter.

My mother passed in 2023. It took her until 2021 to confess that she didn’t use salt in her cooking. Her brisket recipe was to slap the whole thing in the oven at 500 in the morning and pull it at dinner time, carve and serve.

Inedible leather. I remember many nights of being Peter in this comic
