Adding here - have people ever had plain, microwaved chicken? If that sounds disgusting to you, but that's how you expect veggies (/tofu) to be prepared, you may be failing to grasp the concept of cooking vegetables with the same care and attention that one would prepare a piece of meat.

Literally every time I cook for someone who says "I've always hated X veggie" they come out of it going "wow, I've never had it cooked like that, that was really good, nothing like how (parent) used to make it".

99x out of 100, all I did was roast it with some seasoning (+salt), exactly like I would treat a piece of meat, and they act like their whole childhood was a lie.
