Yeah, the texture of tofu can be off-putting. But you can do a lot of different things to change the texture. Here's my favorite--a very simple recipe: Buy a cake of extra firm tofu (I prefer the kinds I can get bulk from our health food coops). Cut it into approx. 1/2 inch slabs (not tooo thin or tooo thick). Place slabs (two or three side by side) on a clean dishtowel and fold the dishtowel around the slabs. Continue until all slabs are wrapped snuggly inside the dishtowel. Place in the refrigerator for several hours or overnight--this will drain a good bit of the water out of the tofu. When ready to cook the tofu, place each slice in a 13 x 9 pyrex or corning ware dish. Squirt Dr. Bonner's Liquid Amino over each slice, turn and squirt again; squirt enough so you have about 1/8 inch of the liquid in the pan. Broil until lightly browned, turn and finish broiling until brown and the liquid is absorbed. I place these right side up on the pan when cooling to make sure all sides stay nicely brown.

This stuff tastes great. Even my squeamish friends love it. You can add herbs and/or spices, but it is also great just with the Dr. Bonner's... Also, you can do it without wrapping it, but the texture will be a bit different, and not as pleasing, in my opinion.
