Ahh, Phoebe, your broadening of your protein horizons does warm the cockles of my heart. Chickpeas are wonderful, and they're very versatile. If the beans themselves don't do it for you, there's always falafel. Falafel can be baked rather than fried and still be perfectly delicious, especially with a decent tahini sauce.
Alternatively, why not turn to the humble mushroom? Your ancestors have long known the power of the Portabella.
I enjoy tofu, but I admit that I enjoy it only as a substitute for meat. There is no dish or circumstance I have yet encountered wherein I can eat tofu and find it more tasty than meat would be in its place. I prefer to get my protein from sources that are eaten as foods in their own right, rather than as substitutes for some other food.
