    HELLO!! The concept of this is much worse than the taste itself, but that being said, would you ever try this savory ~chicken jello~? 😛I stand by my choice to grab the second slice but I’m not sure we're ever gonna spend the whole day to make it again...

      So, basically, it's like a chilled chicken soup? I'm not sure I would try it for two main reasons:
      1) I like my soup hot. I won't even eat gazpacho.
      2) I don't think I would be able to find the time to make it anyway. 😂😂
      Much love from SC, and see you guys uh-next time! 🥰

      Gelatin was a luxury item up until that point, because of the time and resources needed to make it. Post WW2 the general public were obsessed with gelatin because it along with other “luxury” things that seem weird to us, like crazy interior design choices of the 60s and 70s, suddenly became available that never were before except to rich people.

      I often do lots of chicken drumsticks in a large pot with onion, carrots, sweet corn and peas. It becomes very sweet, and if you cook it long enough (since the drumsticks have bones) the collagen seeps out, so once it cools down it becomes actual jelly.
      The difference is that the broth is actually extremely flavorful, and very nice and comforting when it's warm. I have dared not slurp up some of it in jello form. (Also the stock turns somewhat opaque, so you might have to do that french trick where you boil it with beaten eggs to clarify it.)
      There's probably a better way to do this dish but it would not have been published like the one in this video. Because nobody is gonna simmer their chicken for three hours…

    i remember learning about why people were so obsessed with gelatin and it's because it was relatively recent at the time that you COULD buy gelatin, and it was seen as some sort of futuristic cooking thing, so people were just experimenting with it at the time. like the idea of buying shelf-stable stuff from the store was new, sort of like canned foods and such as well. so it really was like "look at me, i'm learning the new futuristic cooking things aren't i cool"

    The Victorians were super into savory aspic dishes, they were popular travel and picnic food. Supersizers Go (the show hosted by Sue Perkins of Bakeoff fame and Giles Coren) did an episode where they ate a lot of those dishes. And I'm pretty sure Mrs. Crocombe has made Victorian aspic dishes on The Victorian Way (the TH-cam series). I know you guys are more TikTok than Victorian recreation, but given Safiya's love of historical recreation and whatnot, it could be super fun to do an episode on the most ridiculous Victorian or Edwardian aspic recipes you can find, using actual antique recipes. Some of those old recipes are hilarious.
    Oh also, you really needed way more veggies and chicken in your layers for such a deep mold. If you look at drawings and photos of classic aspic dishes, they should be mostly filling with just enough gelatin to hold it together. But for a first time with almost no frame of reference, you did great.

We are usually using the whole chicken because actual bones giving you a lot of flavor. It takes about 8 hours for gelatin to fully release and then you pulling out the chicken and start getting all those bones and skin out so you are left with clean meat only) if you put that chicken broth in the fridge it’s going to get hard in couple of hours without using anything extra!

    We have something similar in Poland. It's called galareta, galareta drobiowa (when made with poultry), galert (that's regional name) or zimne nóżki (translates as cold feets, because it's made with pork legs). We also cook the meat but with vegetables (carrot, leek, celery root, parsley root), so the broth is more rich in flavour. We make it in normal serving bowls and it usually contains parsley, hard boiled eggs, carrots (from the broth), peas, corn and meat. When ready, we serve it with a few drops of vinegar and bread. Some people love it, some people hate it. I think it's not that disgusting as it sounds 😅

    This is actually a very common dish in Poland (we call it ,,galareta") Especially on holidays, it's something that grandparents make. It's made a little differently tho😊. For example in my family we always made the gelatin by ourselves, there's a lot of boiling and chopping, but the flavour is amazing. I'm a vegetarian now, so I don't eat it but it's a pleasant memory for me😊

    I had got this vintage recipe book a couple of weeks earlier and found the horrifying recipe and said to my husband "I have to make this" and we came up with the backstory of it being a special dish to trick people into eating it to not be rude.
