The extra firm tofu might have as much "tooth" as small curd, non-creamed
cottage cheese. But, it's not the same thing. Tofu is best not held in the
mouth for prolonged chewing -- which is why it doesn _NOT_ make successful
jerky. I've never been able to make tofu squeak when I chomp it... a thing
I can sometimes accomplish with cottage cheese. ... but, I only mentioned
cottage cheese because it would be as unsuccessful as a basis for jerky as
is tofu. Not because the taste, texture, structure or political correctness
of the two are in any other way analogous. <GGG>
