You normally don't eat it by itself. You're supposed to use it with other ingredients like in soups or stir-fries. Similar to how some vegetables don't have a lot of taste to them but you eat them because they're nutritious. Tofu is healthy and can be used with many dishes.

It's like eating bread or rice. There's not much taste by itself, but it's useful for texture and for adding with other ingredients.

Your question is actually something I had for people who enjoy stinky tofu. It literally smells like rotten garbage and it is almost completely tasteless. I have no idea why people like it!
