I'm not a huge fan of tofu and usually will either blend or mince it, when making recipes such as burgers, sauce, soups or mince.
However, I find that seitan is far more filling which is most probably due to it's high protein content. I also find it far
more versatile when cooking as you can use it in virtually any recipe ; sausage, cottage pie, sauteed, pies, mince, stir fries, sandwiches etc.
