“Look at my aspic” cut 💀
🤢. Gummy worms are about as gelatinous as I'll get.
That is just Disgusting!
It's sweet not savory, but my family still makes a jello salad every year for thanksgiving and Christmas. We call it "pink stuff" but it's technically called "cranberry cream salad". Came from the back of a cherry jello box in the 50s. Cherry jello, jellied cranberry sauce, sour cream, celery, and pecans. Yummy!
I'm still amazed all those fish heads fit into that pot, even though it is a big pot
fish have HEADS?? NO!!!!!
While it's not exactly savory, I feel that the spirit of all the weird and wacky midcentury aspics lives on in the trendy aquarium cakes we have today. They're very weird when you step back and think about them, but oh so pretty.
I love aspic, we make some in summer with white smoked fish, also english cucumber, shredded cabbage, and shredded carrots in orange lemmon jello mold with hard boiled eggs and sliced tomatoes great for summer.
The heat guy needs to remove that silly mask.
So interesting ❤

Favorite thing my Gramma made was head cheese…Pig head, not fish… Sulz is what she called it.
One of my all time favorite foods as a kid (and adult) was a savory gelatin salad that was served at a local dept stores restaurant (Maas Bros in S FL 70s-90s, the recipe is online). It is absolutely delicious and not at all scary. It was served as a salad course before your meal, which in my case was the french onion soup and finger sandwich platter. Every trip to the mall I begged to eat there just to have that salad.
My grandpa requested sour cream pie a long time ago. My mom wouldn't make it for him because she thought it sounded gross, but I decided to. It has raisins, sour cream, and what I would consider Christmas spices. I thought it was actually pretty good! I guess it would be a vintage recipe? Might be an interesting one to try.
Larks tongues in aspic..
Both of the dishes look horrible .
My grandmother used to make a different jello salad every time she had us for dinner. As a child, I ate exactly none of them, because she was fond of lime jello with celery and other additions I refused to eat back then.
Dont need to get so many fish for a pot of jello
All you need is pork skin😁
My favorite discovery recently was all the variety of headcheeses at my local Russian grocery.
My nana made a gelatin salad using lime flavor with finely chopped celery, onion, and topped with a mixture of cream cheese, sour cream and sugar. I was a weird kid and really enjoyed that stuff!
My Ukrainian-American family still eats ‘studynets’ which is jellied pigs feet. It’s something my parents and aunts and uncles eat but I’m going to TRY and like it for history and tradition sake.
Speaking of which, it would be so interesting to see an episode about Ukrainian borshch!
My family has a recipe for a sweet gelatin salad called "Sunshine Salad". It contains shredded cabbage, shredded carrots, and crushed canned pineapple suspended in a mixture of orange and lemon JELL-O. An important part of the recipe is that you have to use canned pineapple. Fresh pineapple contains an enzyme called bromelain which prevents the gelatin from setting. Canned pineapple works because the pineapple is heated during the canning process, which breaks down the bromelain. In any case, it's really good! It's tangy, sweet, and the shredded vegetables don't add flavor—they add texture.
wonder if this is also where teochew meat jelly came from or maybe they all had the same thought at almost the same time
Yes Sohla talking to the fish heads! Lol hilarious
