Not only was Benjamin Franklin a politician, postmaster, diplomate, writer, inventor, scientist and a founding father of the United States he also was the first to bring TOFU to America.

I was forking watching the FYI Channel and they said Benjamin Franklin stole (I note I don’t know if that part is true) the recipe for tofu also called Chinese Cheese.

“In a letter to Philadelphia John Bartram, Benjamin Franklin included instructions on how to make tofu. Sally Lunn breaded, fried tofu, spinach, seasonal vegetables, tomatoes and herbs linguini.”
