I really for some unknown reason cannot find tofu in Tesco.  I really need to open my eyes I guess, but can someone here please tell me what aisle I can find it in? Specifially firm blocks of tofu. 
Thanks!

hahah, I was literally looking for the exact same stuff in my Tesco's on Friday night. I eventually gave up! All I can ever find in Tesco is the perishable marinated blocks of Cauldron stuff.

And then last night, I was in the little Chinese/Japanese/Korean supermarket and they had blocks of shelf-stable silken tofu (firm or soft) for 99p each so I just bought a bunch there.

Shelf tofu is usually with the Chinese food in my local Tesco.  Perishable stuff in the fridge cabinets.

At the Tesco Extra it's with the veggie ready meals.

I meant to say that's the fresh, firm stuff. Phat, you can also get big blocks of it from the little health food shop in Baron Taylor St.

Also if i'm right in thinking you live in Inverness, you can get a few different types of tofu in the Health Food shop which is just off that little street behind the back of Woolworths.

Also they sell fresh tofu at the farmers market on the first weekend of every month.

Just so you know you're not the only one.. I was never able to find tofu at Sainsburys, and neither could the staff at the help desk.  I'm sure it's there somewhere..
