Verdict: boomers need to be culled

Verdict: Valium is a hell of a drug

I don't think this was a boomer food, more like a greatest generation food. In the 50s boomers would have been in their teens and twenties. The sin that the boomers are responsible for is the proliferation of instant dinners, cheep microwave garbage and corn syrup drinks

Agreed. Aspic is great depression food.

>>12261244
It's not all bad.

Can aspic be made without refrigerators? Those didn’t become commonplace until after WWII.

>>12261315
Leave it out all night if it's cold.

i made goi thu two days ago for the cooking challenge. grew up with it so i like it; never had any other form of aspic

my grandmami always put whole peppercorns into the terrine and i hated crunching down onto those motherfuckers

Ice boxes have been a thing for a very long time

the texture of these seems like i would want to throw up and kill myself but i can imagine them tasting good. Idk im confused about visuals/sensual vs taste.

To be fair its hard to fuck up something with mostly fruit.

>>12261244
it was the beginning of marketing things as if they were already popular and you were somehow missing out on all the rage, but then people actually tried them and realized quickly they taste like crap and they faded into history where they belong

You bite into it and it’s all jello sometimes with a crunchy cartilage/wood ear mushroom bit, sometimes with a meaty pork meat bit. The ones I had as a kid were really crunchy because whoever cooked it usually didn’t cook the pig ear very long so the cartilage had a lot of snap. I just made mine in a pressure cooker so the cartilage is similar in texture to the wood ear mushrooms
>pic is my terrine with an unassembled salad

I've had it ONCE. Our chef did it for an event. Ours had liver, pasley, and something else (super simple). I initially thought it'd be a good spread but it was better on it's own. Ours had this tendon flavor that is hard to get around if you don't like it. Would only eat if i was in a hardcore mood for pate but it was 90 degrees outside.

I'm from poland we have two kinds. One is just headcheese, which I don't like. But there is another kind called nozki, which has I think pork meat in it. I actually quite like it even if it's a little strange

Oh I forgot we also do it with carp around the holidays.

A side of fresh greens is an absolute necessity with meat jellies.

>>12261244
I personally like them. They may look weird but taste pretty good.

You get a variety in every bite, and it's really good for cleaning out a fridge to avoid wasting food. Basically the Boomer version of food prep
