[Veto!]

Gotcha re picking up flavors. But I don’t agree that tofu really does that. IMHO, the best you can do is surround it with flavors.

Here in the Pacific Northwest, stores carry Bob’s Red Mill Corn Grits Polenta, which I cook in the oven, one cup of polenta in a baking dish covered with 3-1/2 cups water, DO NOT STIR. Do not even wiggle. Takes about 35 minutes at 350. Transfer to pie plate, then cut pieces and fry (or not) as needed. I cover with veggies sautéed in evoo. Best way I know to get the bf to eat veggies:)

Cane syrup? Impossible to find. Don’t much care for it, my Southern roots do not go that deep. I use pure maple from Vermont.

I like maple too

Sorghum is not my favorite

But sugar cane syrup I like a lot....more refined than molasses
