The latter.

The filet mignon.

The though of eating beef is appalling to me. Therefore, I vote for grilled tofu.

I’m not a vegetarian, but I generally don’t like eating big hunks of meat like that. I’ve had filet mignon before; it just felt like too much meat. I’d probably rather have the tofu, because I really love tofu. :)

Filet mignon. Tofu kind of freaks me out.

GrumpyGram's avatar

I’d like it sparingly in a spicy beef stir-fry.

I have to say I find both to be pretty tasteless.

GrumpyGram's avatar

@Lightlyseared What do you find to be tasty? What do u like that is “lightly seared” if not steak?

Lightlyseared's avatar

@GrumpyGram if you want steak then you need a cut with more fat in it that filet. The only reason people like it it because its expensive. Also grilling is the worst way to cook steak.

Filet Mignon, preferably from Zentner’s Daughter. I love the seasonings they use on their steaks.

GrumpyGram's avatar

@Lightlyseared I actually prefer ribeye.

Fried tofu wrapped in bacon.

I’m not a vegetarian but I happen to like fried tofu more.

Tofu sucks. I’ve literally never had a piece of tofu I enjoyed. I’ll have my filet rare. Better yet, make it a NY Strip. Bacon’s not necessary, baked potato with butter and sour cream on the side. ^_^

@Seek_Kolinahr Many years ago, b4 tofu was “cool” , I had a cheesecake made from it and it was fantastic. I Wish I had recipes for it since hamburgers are starting to make me feel sick. ))-:

I will stick with the steak. We have tofu often but usually in a stir fry, I don’t like it enough to eat it on its own. We eat vegetarian several times a week but I love chicken often and beef occasionally. I personally don’t believe that vegetarianism is any more healthy than a diet with meat. What I do believe is that all meat eaters should take responsibility to only buy from sources where the meat is NOT factory farmed or stock yard fattened. Rather buy free range critters who have been treated with respect and killed humanely. Then there is no guilt in eating meat.

I gotta go with the filet mignon.

perspicacious's avatar

I will not eat tofu, so I go with the beef.

Neizvestnaya's avatar

Though I love pan fried tofu with various sauces and even as a dessert, it doesn’t compare to the deliciousness of a filet.

nikipedia's avatar

Like @gailcalled, beef no longer looks like food to me. So I’ll take the tofu.

Tofu is disgusting, I prefer a good filet mignon to solidified baby crap.
