Another one of our traditional Christmas dishes.

Made from an ear, two trotters and two tails. No gelatin used.

Sounds tasty!

Watched a fascinating show last night. Fannie Farmers last supper. If you have Netflix or can find it some other way give it a view.

In the show they cook a 12 course Victorian era meal all on a wood fired cook stove. several of the courses contained "jellies". All made by boiling down calves heads . They tried to stick to the traditional preparation of meal as close as possible. They did make some changes and pointe them out and why they did.

Never had this before. I bet there is lots of flavor!

Besides being tasty the jelly is a cocktail of bone/cartilage minerals supergood for your body.

Very nice, you don't see this too often these days. Nice job Atomic.

AS, Looks good as always!

 

[daveomak]

Very nice looking dish....

 

[DanMcG]

Nice!! do you add veggies or spice while boiling?

 

[atomicsmoke]

Dan,

Yes. Same as you would with stock: carrots, parsnip, red pepper, onion, garlic, whole black pepper, bay leaves and vegetable scraps we might have around (cauliflower, brocolli stems).

Some people also add the cooked carrot to the aspic. We don't , since we cook large batches. Carrots will turn the aspic sour if you don't finish it in a couple of days.

Another slab of aspic

Looks similar to the studzienina I make. Yours has a lot more meat. Great with a little vinegar and hot sauce.
