Bean Curds. Really?

So Kim Smith asks if I’d like her to pick up lunch today.  My cousin Joe Marcantonio a while back suggested I try out the Chinese restaurant on Washington St- Midori.

So wanting to step outside of the box a little I suggest to Kim Smith that she pick up something from Midori but not something deep fried and greasy.

She suggests some veggies with bean curds.

Now I ask you.  Who in the world would make this kind of suggestion outside of the obvious Kim Smith?

Bean curds?  As in some farmer feeds his cows beans and they collect the been laden feces and make it into bean curds?

Uhmmm no thanks Kim.  Think I’ll take a pass on the bean curds and veggies.

Bean curds?

Only commies eat bean curds.  Mark my words.  Next time you hear someone order bean curds in a restaurant you can rest assured they’re a commie.

  1. I’ve never had bean curds, and now I’d like to try them. I’m sure they’re not bean Turds. Report to follow this winter.

  2. A little humor to break the week…A staple food this way used in all kinds of dishes and soups – Bean curd is a neutrally flavored product made from soybeans. Also known as “tofu”, bean curd is the perfect complement to dishes. 🙂

  3. Well, start calling it tofu, and see what you make of that. Myself, I’ll eat anything that doesn’t fight back, but tofu is a great high-protein alternative to meat for zillions of humans. It’s low fat, comes in many different forms and textures, and can be fixed as (to name two) barbecue or teriyaki. By itself it’s bland, but it takes seasoning beautifully. I can see it now: Sista Felicia’s Tofu Cookbook —

  4. I know you are kidding here – right? Bean Curd /. Tofu is just vehicle for sauce in the form of a little block of protein – it’s a wonderful food, especially if your looking to go a little healthier (as per. your mention of no deep fried greasy 🙂 Eat the tofu, love the tofu!!

  5. Tofu is definitely an acquired taste that not all of us has accepted. Know it’s good for you, but have never enjoyed it’s consistency. But, Midori, I have to say is a wonderful restaurant and I highly recommend it. Hope you enjoyed your lunch, Joey. I am sure it was delicious, tofu or not tofu!
