Actual thought I had in the shower!
Gelatin was originally and still often is derived from meat by-products, so wouldn’t it make more sense as a meat dish?
I looked it up, and it turns out that accounts of aspic (a savory gelatin dish) predate the earliest record of gelatin desserts by more than half a millennium!
Maybe the mid-20th-century meat Jell-O trend makes more sense than I thought
Ever get a costco rotisserie chicken? The juice at the bottom has a ton of gelatin in it and it sets quickly. Rotisserie chicken flavored jello
Half way to gravy. Yum!
The rotisserie jello definitely isn’t a guilty pleasure of mine…
