Savory jellies, or aspics, are a thing we have been trying to erase from our collective memory.
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.
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"
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.
Zap that thing with electricity...
"It's alive...! IT'S ALIVE!"
EDIT: gotta wait for a thunderstorm first, of course.
As a world community we'd add it to your list of crimes against humanity, in the sub section regarding British cousine.
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.
I just can't comprehend how you guys over there like jello pies so much and why you don't get heartburn from it.
