Savory jellies, or aspics, are a thing we have been trying to erase from our collective memory.

Try this one and we will see if you still have this opinion:
Every one of these recipes that involve gelatin would be better without the gelatin.
No 😠
Interesting. I'm used to that configuration with a bacon wrap and cheese topping in a muffin tin, so I can't say I'm entirely dissuaded. But what of the jelly? How is it flavored?
Usually it's chicken broth flavored, kind of a subtle taste. The gelatin is mainly used to stick the egg and the ham together.
This looks fantastic! Happen to have a recipe, or more info? :)
We call them "œufs en gelée" (if you can read a recipe in french) but I guess you can find english recipes with "egg in aspic"
As a vegan this would make me throw up if I swallowed it.
wow!
Do you think a cat could eat it?
I'm sure it could
Yup, ham and egg, not very vegan friendly 🫤
You've never been to a slav supermarket, have you?
Um, no. Are these particularly common and sought after?
Asp8cs are a quintessential Slav food. It is the sort of thing your Soviet babushka would have on the table.
My grandfather still goes crazy about preparing holodez from scratch for days when my mother comes to visit
Thanks. I hate it.
I threw up in my mouth looking at and thinking about this. It just seems so disgusting.
Spaghetti-o-no-you-don't weiner bouquet!!
I always wondered how plumbuses got made.
There's a FoodCrimes community here somewhere, this would be a perfect fit ...
I think this is the next iteration on the Lemmy Baked Beans trend from '23.
Zap that thing with electricity...
"It's alive...! IT'S ALIVE!"
EDIT: gotta wait for a thunderstorm first, of course.
This is great if you’re constipated, you’ll be expelling from both ends in no time
Unfortunately the gelatin continues to absorb moisture and expand during its time in your bowels, only to form a tight plug near the end when your body tries to dehydrate things a bit so turds will become shapely. Ends up blocking you up like fine cheese eaten in massive quantities. Ask me how I know and I may cry rather than answer.
How do you know?
I just can't comprehend how you guys over there like jello pies so much and why you don't get heartburn from it.
