why were they so obsessed with making jelly bros?

>>15742671
Marketing by the jelly companies.

In eastern Europe they still do shit like this

>>15742764
malaysian have some pretty weird shit too. the eyes are basil seeds in green food coloring?

>>15742800

Jesus christ I cast flame wall and flee away

>>15742793
I'd eat that.

>how to bake your own necronomicon

>>15742858
there's a handful of delicious red beans cooked beans under that ice cream

>>15742671
because household fridges were still pretty new, not everyone had one so it was a display of wealth to make food that requires refrigeration instead of some poorfag stove

>>15742871
I no longer want to eat that.

>>15742830
that one stuck for thanks giving.

this is actually a red velvet brownie cake with cream cheese. I made one and put like swirls into it, looked like those infrared images of jupiter's pole

>>15742891
what I also find a bit weird is people who eat only green stuff

it just looks a bit off, kinda special

>>15742898
its the colors or something I don't know

>>15742905
fluffy shifon cake

>>15742905
are those asparagus tapped on the side of the plate?

Wow, timely thread is timely.

I have been searching for images of the most elusive culinary cryptid. Maybe you can help me. I tried google and while it is mentioned as a real thing people made I found no images online yet.

Spaghetti-O's Chocolate Cake. Mmmm!

>>15742812
That eskimo shepherds pie looks pretty comfy.

>>15742793
Actually looks yummy would eat.

>>15745245
it's cute but that dog food meat texture and total lack of any browning is really sad.

>>15742807

how do u get the shrimps to stay fixed in that position before the jello sets??

>>15742830
This ones good as a desert, especially with pecans tossed in.

>>15746216
You let it partially set.

>>15742764
Germany too. Although in those countires it's mostly meat in aspic not random shit in gelatine.

>>15742764
Before refrigeration it was a method of food preservation, I guess some people just like the flavor or novelty of it now

>>15746262
>>15746271
I don't mean the jelly food, I know in EE that's just aspic and normal (and quite tasty actually)
I mean that weird outdated presentation of foods shaped into things etc

>>15746283
shit like pic rel

>>15746283
Big thing in post-war housing and family boom was to host dinner parties.
So basically you had people coming up with insane bullshit to impress/piss off the neighbors.

>>15746283
if you're going to ruin food by imprisoning it in aspic, you may as well have fun with it.

Obligatory Mettigel

50s/60s food in general always seems off to me. Might be because I strongly prefer the more futurist side of the midcentury aesthetic, but the food always seems to lean more into the pink carpet and floral patterned couch grandma's house look.

>>15742793
Southeast asia is one of those places you can still go and eat things that aren't listed in any encyclopedia.

>>15746251
What did those poor shrimp do to deserve this fate?

>>15746361
>What did those poor shrimp do to deserve this fate?

they know what they did.

>>15742915
You don't cook your asparagus to gravity defying perfection? ngmi

Uk hospital food

In Germany it was very popular in the 60s and 70s, but fell out of fashion soon in the 80s. Today it's only done by old people, those with bad taste in everything cultural or catering services for some reason. Probably to impress the old people, who'd do it the same way.
Stupid gimmicky things like pic related are kinda passé nowadays though.
To be honest i don't see that much of a difference in most canapés although those are not considered trashy, antiquated or a waste of food for some reason.

>>15746609
Forgot the pic.

>>15746487
If that isn't based off of the facehuggers then i'm having nightmares

>>15742800
this can actually be pretty tasty

>>15742671
Encasing things in jelly was seen as a rich people thing, so when it became more widely available people took it to the extreme.
Similar to how poor people love gold, even if it's fake.

>>15742822
Good God.

>>15746262
You're not shitting me, this is canned dog food.

>Germany
Oh, that explains it.

>>15742830
>orange mallow bad
kys

>>15742871
And so what faggot? Sweet red beans and red bean paste is the shit.

>>15746613
I really liked making shit like this when I was 8-10 and my mom would always be pissed that I was wasting ingredients for stupid shit.

>>15742800
>gay and delicious
but really i'd try it

>>15747487
Imagine the beautiful smell of that onion flowers.

>>15747432
ur a women rnt ya?

>>15742671
Mr burns said he likes it

aspic is good when you just use it to set many ingredients together, not when it's the actual dish. It's like making a whole cake out of fondant but pretending it's a cake by throwing a cup of oreos in the mess

>>15747624
No but I'm gay btw (if it matters)

>>15746251
I know a recipe of smoked salmon and green apple salad that is really tasty, I guess it could work with prawn as well.

i hate hospital food, every time without fail it is nearly inedible. everything has been done with the absolute cheapest and bottom of the barrel ingredients and every step of the cooking process has been messed up in some way turning it into some disgusting mush.

i remember when i had rhinoplasty done on me and i had to recover from a 15-hour operation, i only ended up eating the ice cream dessert because that was the only thing resembling actual food in the meal and there was some old and disgusting dude who would just lap that shit up and emit the most disgusting food munching sound i had ever heard. i fucking hated it and couldn't even move for like 2 days.

>>15742830
This one doesn't look bad.

>>15746467
hospital food is proof that the medical industry's goal is to make you suffer and die

>>15749114
>suffer and die
Wrong, if you die you stop paying them. they want you to suffer for as long as possible

Im from Southeast Asia. I guarantee that’s passion fruit seeds or something of the sort.

>>15749163
Nah, they're Thai Basil seeds.
They look like frog eggs, for some reason.

does this count

>>15742891

Looks like fucking afterbirth m8
