So I am being encouraged by friends and neighbors to market my new tofu jerky product. I must admit, it is pretty darn tasty!
I had been working at a seitan jerky recipe, recently, but found tofu works way better for what I was trying to achieve. Anyhow, I have ironed out an amazing recipe for tofu jerky.
So...we were trying to think of clever names for the product, but nothing really struck me as catchy, which is why I am turning to my beloved vegan forum community. Unfortunately, the only prize will be the prestige in having your name selected and hopefully, immortalized, in business history.
I would love to use something like "The Original To-Ferky Jerky", but fear lawsuits and repercussions from the company "Tofurkey" for having such a close resemblance to their name. So I'm looking for a more original name, but something really catchy. I would like the word 'The Original' in the name, to avoid copycats brands.
Anyhow, all suggestions appreciated.
Oh, and if anyone has a suggestion on what sort of price I should charge for a pound or per 100 grams would be nice? Vegan specialty items seem to fetch top dollar in my experience. I'm not greedy, but it is labour intensive to make. I was thinking about $30-40 per pound. It might sound expensive, but this stuff dehydrates a lot. So I lose a lot of weight in the dehydration process. The brine is also not cheap to make, and there's the labour aspect. It takes a lot of care and diligence. The entire process takes about 4-5 hours. With two smokers I can produce about 3 lbs each time at the most.
