Hey,
New to chef(currently 11 pointer) and have been playing around with these 2 foods for a bit...I got these results today (which I'm personally really happy with) and was wondering what people thought (good..bad..average...suggestions on improvements...etc.)
Vasarian Brandy:
+435 / 42mins / 49fill / 21 uses
Vagnerian Canape:
+751 / 10mins / 35fill / 7 uses
Also, any suggestions on the sorta prices for these would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
G.

On the brandy, I'd take a little out of the nutrition and put it into duration to hit 45 minutes. Once that's done you can start pricing it around 150k and increase/decrease the price according to how rapidly/slowly it's selling.
I always make 33 fill canapes. Some will argue that it's not necessary because people don't always eat 3 at a time, but I like to leave the option there. I'd put a couple extra points into filling and decrease that so that other foods can be stacked on top of the canapes. I steadily sell mine at 300k a crate, but mine are +755/33 fill. I've seen others that sell their canapes for cheaper than they sell their brandy because brandy is a bigger seller. You may want to start at 150k and, again, monitor your sales to determine whether you need to raise or lower your prices.

Agree on both. The brandy is nice but needs more duration. You are so close to 33 filling canape, might as well go for it. I would then put any additional points into the nutrition as most 33 fill canape is expected to have a short duration.

Wow, 300k a crate? And I thought everybody said Bloodfin was inflated. ![]()

less strength and more duration on brandy, i like to always have atleast 45 minutes
the canape is nice, but as stated i always like to try and get the fill down to 33, think my current batch is +706/10minutes/33fill and that seems to be a great seller
canape above i sell in crates of 25 for 150k
my brandy i sell for 150k per crate of 25 (+403 / 50 minutes / 49fill / 21 quantity )
hope thats of some help

I've founda lot of my fellow Brians dont mind a 33+ fill canape. As only a 10 point chef with moderately good resources, my regular batches of +720 canape, (11 minutes, 40 fill) have been flying off the shelves! I'd like to work it down, but my resources have terrible DR stats for now. Hopefully something good will spawn soon 
EDIT: And I sell it for 100k - 120k /crate
