Tofu

The AHD defines tofu as "a protein-rich food coagulated from an extract of soybeans". Inspired by my dinner (prepared for me by my "take-home chef"/fiancé), I started thinking about this word. Mainly it just sounds fun to me (if in a somewhat awkward way). Apparently it's origin is ultimately from the Chinese word dòufu. This word combines dòu(bean) and fǔ (curdled). That word traveled through Japanese-and the word Tōfù-before reaching English.
