Or tofu "dogs" or soy cheese for that matter. Now I don't mind TVP
(textured vegetable <soy> protein). Rather like it in fact, it has its
usages. But I mean really, tofu sausage? Tofu bacon?

Not for me. YMMV, natch.

I like tofu for snacking, like it in stirfrys. I used to make a kind of
"scrambled eggs" dish with tofu that was pretty tasty. Not sure if I'd
bother now that the current wisdom says that eggs aren't the devil's nuts
anymore....
