I like meat. I like jelly. But aspics... just looking at their image grossed me out.

Knowing how popular gelatinized everything used to be in the middle of the previous century makes me want to barf more than a little.

I understand the history behind it (gelatin used to be something that took all day to make, refrigeration used to be uncommon, so gelatin was a marker of wealth, blah blah blah) but no force in heaven or earth will ever move me from the belief that high lead levels were a huge factor in what people put in gelatin, served to guests, and told themselves was good.
