Carnist logic… or lack thereof
if tofu tasted good they wouldn’t need to make it yellow? what?
also do you just eat plain eggs, no salt or anything? seasoning your food doesn’t imply that the food tastes bad lol
They were adamant about the fact that it wasn’t seasoning, only food colouring. If it tasted good they why the need to try and trick their minds into thinking it’s eggs? Im sure they added seasoning, as do I, but i don’t use food colouring to make things look like somethkng else.
ah yes non vegan cooking is famous for being completely free of food colorings and any other ingredients or techniques used for purely visual flair. notorious for being illegal to look like another food item.
nobody is tricking themselves into thinking it’s eggs, it just looks better and people are familiar with a yellow pile of mashed breakfast food instead of a white one. it would look gross with no colorings added, maybe something red like paprika would work just as well.
i find your aversion to making tofu scramble yellow strange, and i assure you when the turmeric hits the pan my mind does not go “ooh now it’s eggs”
Making your food look like some other kind of food that you don’t even eat seems very silly to me. I watch a ton of cooking shows and this is the only time i’ve seen a chef do this. By all means make your tofu scramble however you like it, i don’t even see why it would look gross if it wasn’t yellow. It’s not about the colour, it’s about their expressly stated desire for pretense. They repeated several times tbat this was to make it look like eggs. If scrambled tofu is tasty then present that, it could be great with paprika, but if you have to make your food look like something else then i’m inclined to think it can’t stand on it’s own and probably sucks.
