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.

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?

[-] gilarelli@jlai.lu 4 points 2 months ago

Usually it's chicken broth flavored, kind of a subtle taste. The gelatin is mainly used to stick the egg and the ham together.

As a vegan this would make me throw up if I swallowed it.

Do you think a cat could eat it?

[-] SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

I'm sure it could

[-] gilarelli@jlai.lu 3 points 2 months ago

Yup, ham and egg, not very vegan friendly 🫤

[-] WhatsHerBucket@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

This looks fantastic! Happen to have a recipe, or more info? :)

[-] gilarelli@jlai.lu 3 points 2 months ago

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"

You've never been to a slav supermarket, have you?

[-] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Um, no. Are these particularly common and sought after?

[-] SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

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

I threw up in my mouth looking at and thinking about this. It just seems so disgusting.

[-] Zier@fedia.io 10 points 2 months ago

Spaghetti-o-no-you-don't weiner bouquet!!

[-] svcg@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 2 months ago

I always wondered how plumbuses got made.

[-] jlow@beehaw.org 8 points 2 months ago

There's a FoodCrimes community here somewhere, this would be a perfect fit ...

[-] SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

I think this is the next iteration on the Lemmy Baked Beans trend from '23.

[-] niktemadur@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Zap that thing with electricity...
"It's alive...! IT'S ALIVE!"

EDIT: gotta wait for a thunderstorm first, of course.

[-] nifty@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

This is great if you’re constipated, you’ll be expelling from both ends in no time

[-] GooberEar@lemmy.wtf 4 points 2 months ago

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.

[-] scarilog@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

How do you know?

[-] MonkderVierte@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

I just can't comprehend how you guys over there like jello pies so much and why you don't get heartburn from it.
