[edit] Chines vs. Japenese
While I am generally opposed to gratuitous efforts to replace established Japanese terms with Chinese ones (this kind of thing is usually perpetrated by disgruntled Chinese speakers who feel that their language should predominate over Japanese), in this case I feel there are good grounds for using the Chinese name. After all, it is mainly eaten in China and is hardly known to the Japanese.
Hmm?Can I say that you are a digrunntled English speak who feel that Japanese language should dominate over Chinese?--209.89.123.159 03:15, 13 May 2005 (UTC)
- I don't see any Japanese on the page, unless you're talking about the word "tofu" itself. I don't believe it can be proved that "tofu" was borrowed originally either Chinese or Japanese. Besides, you're contradicting the statement I supported you on on Talk:Tofu, that "tofu" is now an English word. — Pekinensis 16:48, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Do you feel that Chou Doufu should be removed? I had occasion here in China recently to see laowai referring to it as 'stinky tofu'. Perhaps it is best simply to leave 'chou doufu' in parentheses as the Chinese name.

- I removed it, and did some other tidying. Somebody should really translate more information from the Chinese article, but I'm feeling lazy. — Pekinensis 15:35, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Who is s/he? Name is mentioned in the Trivia section; nothing on Wikipedia, only Google result is for this article. Is it a typo?--Anchoress 02:34, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Use of passive voice in article
I just added the original research tag due to this paragraph:
"From a distance, the odor of stinky tofu is said to resemble that of sewage or a garbage dump, even by its enthusiasts. In spite of stinky tofu's smell, the flavor is surprisingly mild. Some have compared it to the taste of blue cheese. It is said the more it smells, the better it tastes."
Please rewrite this in a non-passive voice. Talking from the third person like that without citing references (Who claims that the odor of stinky tofu resembles a garbage dump?) is generally frowned upon in Wikipedia. 71.177.5.112 05:57, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
