In fancy layered french terrines they use it as a gelatin layer or glaze.

I had to make them in culinary school.

But the most common use for cartilage is in stocks. You take bones and you make stock with them and the stock becomes gelatinous.

A good stock should look like Jello when its cold.

This is a sign of a Healthy and flavorful stock.

Its good for our Joints.

>mfw I bite into a piece of chicken with cartilage in it

It sucks when you find cartilage in a burger or in your chicken because its not supposed to be there.

It just means that small piece was overlooked and not removed like it was supposed to be.

It's physically impossible to make proper sisig without some ear cartilage

Picky eaters need not apply

Shark fin soup, it's 100% cartilage.

Why call it soup if it's just a fucking slab of cartilage?

That's not 100% cartilage.

ramsay says traditional shark fin soup is fucking flavorless garbage and there's no reason to ever cook it. and by looking at it, I agree.

Authentic Chinese dry pot. If you get chicken its crunchy as hell because every piece has cartilage all over it. Delicious...

It's not the correct recipe either, it shouldn't have all those vegetables and mushrooms.

The point is it's not a "slab of cartilage", the cartilage is in fine threads that resemble clear noodles. If someone gave you a bowl of shark fin soup and gave you no clues, you'd assume it was noodle soup.

It's not supposed to be found in ground meat. Get better quality meat.

I guess you can make glue, gelatine, but nothing you'd eat like that (or weird Asian cuisine)

The fuck kind of shit beef do you buy? I've literally never encountered cartilage in ground beef.

>>7143588
Not OP but if you ever try fuckin' wal-mart beef or some shit like that, I wouldn't be surprised. I've had to cook with that before and it's just god awful.

the only reason third world slant eyed retards eat it is because they're so fucking stupid that they think it will make their dick bigger. it's also extremely wasteful, as they cut off the shark fin and then leave the shark to die in the water.

More nukes when?

It's traditional and also exorbitant. Bunting doesn't taste good either hut it's the fact you're eating an endangered species/it's taboo that makes it exciting.

The broth in fin soup is very good. Shark fins aren't that different than skate, which is very delicious.

I find it amusing to listen to people freak out about shark fins and then go on to eat bluefin tuna and caspian sea beluga without batting an eye

Shark fins are the Kony 2012 of wildlife

Kony is still abducting children from their homes and forcing them to fight in his army too. No one seems to care anymore.

Sharks serve a purpose cleaning up corpses and thinning out numbers of sea creatures. That's about it. They probably create more waste than most other sea creatures.
