Talk:Week 4: I'd Rather Eat.../@comment-72.208.80.108-20110525110932

It's sad that people always want only the familiar. Deep-fried battered foods appear in ALL cuisines. So, a plate of 'white' uninteresting looking stuff appeals to your senses more than the jewel-like presentation of the tofu? Tofu sadly has a bad 'rap' in the west. If you have never tasted freshly-made artisan tofu you don't know what you're missing. Add in the beautiful spice and seasonings and you will be in for a real treat. I thought most people eat first with their eyes. If you chose the tempura I guess you don't.
