so, the silk road existed from before christ to the present, tofu was 
invented some where from 618ad to 906ad, and marco polo was in china 
from 1280 to 1295. that much is clear. but does any one know for sure 
when tofu was introduced to the west? it may or may not be period. you 
may want to go with tofu until some one can prove it isn't period. but 
then, if it's for health, personal, or whar ever reasons, use it. if 
people complain about it, explain your reasons why you use tofu. if they 
still complain, you'll have to decide who you want to listen to. them or 
your self. choose wisely.
