By now, hopefully you have either rushed out to try some or are at least considering trying it, if you've never had it. I've since tried to get other friends to try it but most of them refuse and for some of the same reasons I had.Its not unreasonable but what if they're depriving themselves of something awesome? Its only one bite. What if I liked it? What if this one bite, changed my view of tofu and introduced me to something I enjoyed and would miss out on by not trying it. She CLAIMED it was crunchy, not squooshy.that it was TASTY, not gross and that the dipping sauce was awesome.Ī) ignore these claims but still have a question b/c what if she was rightī) try it and find out.If she was wrong, then I'd never have to try it again. no way, tofu is disgusting and squooshy, no thanks, I've had it before and I'm not interested. That's what I said when Mel tried to get me to taste a piece of the Agedashi tofu appetizer at Ishi (a local Japanese restaurant). I've tried it but its generally not my thing. It is typically squooshy and doesn't have much of a taste to it. This happened to the Cat in the Hat with the green eggs and ham too, as you will recall. Sometimes, grown ups can be more stubborn about trying something they're "certain they don't like" than a kid.Ĭonfession: I don't like tofu. My point is though that sometimes something you think you won't like, for whatever reason (even if you think corn flakes are plain), if you try it, you might change your mind.
This set up good lessons in portion control, compromise, and finishing what you started.
Also, if we ran out early, our other option was Kellog's Corn Flakes. If we didn't eat it, we had to finish it before we could pick something else. At the grocery store, my sister and I had to agree on a cereal for the next two weeks. My family was more of a Fruit Loops clan. Cue happy faced, surprised kid and pleased parent. Remember the Life cereal commericals? "Don't worry your kids will eat it.It taste like the bark of a tree.(horrified kid's face) Don't worry your kids will eat it.Actually its more like a stick.(child runs and hides).Don't worry your kids will eat it.A cinnamon stick!!!
