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 🫤

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 (1 children)

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

[–] SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

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
