I really hope this one is a hoax.

Hufu. Don't click the link if you haven't had dinner yet. Really.

I suspect that it is a hoax. The fact that all the media articles cited are associated with Dartmouth makes me suspicious.

However, if it isn't a hoax, you have to wonder; how did they do the taste research?

My source believes that the guy is actually planning to sell textured, flavored tofu, as well as T-shirts and a cookbook. His involvement was limited to an area not directly associated with the product, though, so it's possible he doesn't have the full story.

They may well be planning to sell "textured, flavored tofu".

Here's what I meant when I said "I hope this is a hoax." What I meant is, "I hope they're not planning to try to find out how to make tofu taste like human flesh, and then sell human-flavored tofu." Because I can't imagine truly doing that correctly without cannibalism being involved.

And even if they do it without cannibalism being involved, the resulting product still merits a place on my "products that really shouldn't exist" list. :-)
