I take it you've never had good mexican or thai food! A thai tofu curry is a _lot_ better than a lump of greasy bacon served with powdered eggs.

what does Mexican food have to do with tofu?

edit to add:
and I'm not asking about cali-mex. you said good mexican food. (which doesn't include tex-mex either)

I recommend 2 weeks of deer hunting in Alabama, followed by
a week in Texas to learn about brisket.

Hmm.... I've become a mixed up Texan/Californian who likes both brisket and tofu. (Not at the same time though.)

The correlation is just as strong between african american population and red state.

In sum, we can see a correlation between African Americans, Red States, and obesity.

Hmm.... I've become a mixed up Texan/Californian who likes both brisket and tofu. (Not at the same time though.)

No reason they can't be together, though. There are a lot of spicy dishes that have stir fried meat and tofu in some sort of heavy sauce.

I'm pretty sure it's a hangin' offense to put tofu anywhere near Texas brisket.

I usually prefer tofu in vegetarian dishes, but I have had some Thai dishes that had both meat and tofu, and they were OK.

So have I. But I didn't reduce the proportion of beans. Then I remembered (or was "caused to remember"): tofu itself is beans. So I basically doubled the proportion of beans in the recipe.

We're still donating the byproduct to the local power plant.

I never make chili without beans. (Yeah, I know, I'd get my ass kicked in Terlingua. )

Beans, peppers (hot and not-hot) corn, orzo, tempeh - you name it, it's been in one recipe or another.

A slight tangent. Nothing like a good thai curry. IMO the tofu picks up the flavor a lot better than chicken, beef or shrimp.

I'd bet that if you tried a whole food plant based diet for a month, your taste buds would mature and you would enjoy food even more. It's amazing that on my lifestyle, I can smell fruits and vegetables from across the room, and those who consume animal products need to put the vegetation to their noses to smell it.
