I have made a few terrible dishes in the past, but no dinner yet has warranted a disclaimer. Well, the time has come: DO NOT EAT THIS DINNER. This was totally a novelty meal and I'm sorry that I considered it. I was simultaneously trying to find a way to make tofu more palatable while trying to create a breakfast ingredient themed menu. This resulted in bran flake Crusted Tofu and Udon Noodles in Peanut Sauce. Thankfully, I omitted the jelly. The best part was undoubtably the sliced apple that accompanied the two dishes. Nothing against apples, but that's not good.

The tofu dish was so disgusting that I ate one bite and threw it all away. The flakes did not really stick so well to the tofu and tofu by itself just doesn't do it for me. The noodles could have potentially been a lot better, but the sauce was so incredibly thick that it sort of ruined it for me. It definitely had big peanut butter taste, but I could never fathom actually wanting to eat this. I sort of laughed in between bites and I did eat a decent portion of it, but I felt completely ridiculous doing so and think I only continued out of extreme hunger. The next time I want to do a breakfast themed dinner, I'm sticking with bacon and eggs.

If there is such a thing, please submit some delicious tofu recipes to me. I will likely reward you by publicly making fun of you on this website, but I still strongly encourage you to do so.
