why is japanese cuisine so hilariously bad?
the main staple dish of nipponland is sushi which is literally just fish on rice
their curry is just watered soup

>In fact it's very healthy

This is the major misconception Tofu in the west faces. The best tofu dishes are not healthy.
They're
>fried tofu
tofu is delicious fried as a snack with a dipping sauce but it's fucking fried
>mapo tofu
The single most famous tofu dish
swimming in a sea of chilli oil and pork fat and pork mince
>fried rice/ noodles (pad thai etc)
always made better with the addition of tofu, better yet, fried tofu, also, very oily dishes


The last two bring up the other contradiction. That tofu is some 'vegetarian' food. Actually a lot of great tofu dishes (or it's use in Japanese cuisine) are alongside meat/fish.

ecuadorians have the largest average dick
>Most regions in Ecuador follow the traditional 3 course meal of sopa/soup and segundo/second dish which includes rice or pasta and a protein such as meat, poultry, pig or fish. Then dessert and a coffee are customary. Dinner is usually lighter and sometimes just coffee or agua de remedio/herbal tea with bread.
>For the most part, Ecuador is known not only for its bananas, and all the dishes made from them, but for its starch consumption of products like potato, bread, pasta, rice, and yuca. Traditionally any of these ingredients can be found in either the soup or the rice platter that may be served.

I get tofu sometimes and just pour soy sauce on it and have that as a meal. Extra firm from the local asian market. Usually always get fried tofu when I get chinese. Mapo Tofu is a risky thing to order because some places they make it sweet or send a watery mess without any pork fat in it. Oddly the best Mapo Tofu I've ever had was from this korean chinese place when I was doing some work in Hanoi.

>turtle/shark fin soup
>fried chicken feet
>pig uterus noodles
>fried rice with pork knuckle gristle
>unidentifed fish balls on a stick
>boiled dog meat
>one time, monkey brains

Americans have no idea how bad it really is. No one in china knows what the fuck beef and broccoli is or sweet and sour pork. Chinese food is disgusting. Literally the worst parts to eat of any animal. Makes sense because chinks are the race of humans closest to animals. They make disgusting noises when they eat, slurp everything, men in the streets lift their fucking wife beaters over their sweaty stomachs while laughing and chewing with their mouths full of food. Like what kind of idiot decided 2 sticks is the most practical way to eat grains of fucking rice. Starving Nigerians who eat grass have a better diet than the average chinese.

Something like 90% of all American soj products are gm. If you're in the US or some other country that manufactures GMOs, get it imported from a country where GMOs are banned or required to be labeled.
Also, the idea that tofu is healthy is based on 70s diet science that says fat and cholesterol are bad, which appears to be flawed for a number of reasons. Fat doesn't make you fat, excess calories do. Cholesterol in the food doesn't cause high cholesterol in the blood, being fat and eating too much does. Most of the animals we eat have mostly vegetarian diets, yet they're still loaded in fat and cholesterol because these things are generated by the body regardless of what you eat. Furthermore, tofu is devoid of any significant nutrients other than protein, with negligible amounts of a few vitamins.
Unless the memes about white people thinking mayonnaise and ketchup are spicy are true, you're probably going to be slathering that stuff in salty, oily, sugary sauces, undoing any good it does, real or perceived. The Japanese eat tofu in conjunction with meat and fish, not as a replacement.
As for the estrogen arguments, I think this is a bit of hype. I did go vegetarian and even absolute 0 fat for a while with a lot of soj product as a replacement, and I didn't grow tits. It was the other affects it was having on my health that made me zealously pro-meat and pro-fat. That said, a lot of articles I've seen on the health benefits of tofu say it is good for reducing hot flashes in menopausal women, so there may still be something to it.
