I've been using the bulk tofu from the coop with pretty good success. The tofu will be slightly happier if it's drained/pressed. Also, I can *never* get the whole block of tofu to comply--there's always that bit at the end that you can't hit with the peeler (since it's sitting on a surface--you can't hold it like a potato or carrot). And once you're down to the last few slices, everything just turns into a mess. So you'll always end up with some extra fakin crumblins either way. Some day we need to pioneer some seitan-fakin.
