/ck/ - Food & Cooking

Because it is tastelet europoor

Jell-O is not a salad

>>14713626
lets make this into old cousine thread

Because we just got done winning the largest war in human history and gave your country freedom. Might as well have fun doing stuff when you are the most powerful nation on the planet.

>>14713626
>cousine
my cousine took me inside the pantry one time during winter vacation at their place and I don't want to talk about it

but also plenty of Brits and Europeans went through that jellied food phase in the 50s and 60s.

>>14713626
Encasing shit in aspic is done all around the world, you retarded ape.

>>14713626
I don't think aspic is an English word m90

>>14713674
lmao, do Moldavians really?

lmao, do Sicilians really?

Myth of the 20th Century has a good take on this in the episode where they talk about that cookbook from 19th century America. The 1950s was peak American decadence. We'd just got done destroying German civilization and nuking Japan, Europe was broke and the colonial world was literally collapsing. We went from the broke receptacle for Europe's trash eating meat hash and potato skins to having more shit than we knew what do with. The future was now, so why not put everything in gelatin.

lmao, do Serbians really?

lmao, do Koreans really?

>>14713626
If you want a real reason why, it was kind of a suburban form of showing off your dick. Home refrigerators were relatively uncommon and expensive and you can't make jello without a fridge, so it started out as just a way for people to brag about having a fridge by bringing out jello dishes and evolved from there

I make one of these for family Christmas every year. Sometimes they're layered, they often have corn and hotdogs. All thrift stores have a lobster mold that looks vaguely phallic and makes for a lovely look when plated with kale.

We don't eat that shit tho, it's just for a joke and then we feed it to the chickens.

Chooks love them some Jell-O.

>>14713679
ass-spic? sure it is

>>14713626
We had refrigerators in every house while eurofaggia was too poor to even buy one of those old iceboxes with literal ice in them.

>>14713709
this is the only one that looks remotely like food

>>14713691
>>14713664
>>14713663
this is kinda true, 50s-70s cousine is super weird because we started selling all the weird shit we were giving our soldiers to the masses

>>14713674

Look at this triggered American trying to save face

lmao, do Germans really?

>>14713728
The word headcheese basically sounds like smegma

>>14713724
I'm sorry you've never left your culturally-dominated third world jungle country. Please, continue on with your bizarre obsession over Americans.

>>14713722
>boiled cows feet in aspic

/thread

>>14713728
head cheese is good tho

>>14713710
Aspic is from medieval times, the point of it is it preserves meat without refrigeration. You don't need a fridge to make jello, it's solid at room temperature.

>>14713694
horrific

I'm sure like we look back at the 60s/70s and think "why did they use jello in everything?", we'll look back at the 2000/10s and think "why'd they have sriracha in everything?"

>>14713844
It's just pork. You like pork, right?

It was because of an excess of jello from ww2 and the Vietnam war. Kind of like why spam is popular in Hawaiian quizine

>>14713626
Since medieval times, foods suspended in aspic were an extravagant delicacy that only the very rich could afford.
Rendering all that gelatin from bones was not only expensive in getting all that meat, but being able to afford a chef to tend them for hours if not days wasn't cheap either.

In the 1950s, innovative American entrepreneurs developed instant gelatin-- allowing the common man to make jellied foods in his own home for the very first time in history. Interest understandably exploded.

>>14713663
Really this. But let me add that we ought to consider the domestic culture at the time; people used to go to one another's homes for entertainment - there wasn't much television until the 60's, so there was a domestic idea that women would present the home and your social value was set by how good of an entertainer and hostess you were. Now imagine some kind of "space age food" (to go with that space age car in the driveway, the one with tail fins) and you have ....jell-o salads of every conceivable kind.

>>14713724
lmao

>>14713856
why does it look like someone tore chunks off with their teeth?

>implying it isn't

gelatin is good for you and tasty
no problemo

>>14713970
>people used to go to one another's homes for entertainment
How uncultured.
I bet those savages didn't even wear masks either.

Look, I’m down with hating on nasty old aspic recipes as much as the next cu/ck... but how has no one mentioned that OP is a fucking retard yet?
OP’s pic is not an aspic, it is a layered salad in a glass dish. You can see the top rim, you can see the bottom molding and flash marks. You can see the two fucking utensils sitting there waiting to toss the layers to mix before serving >>>as stated in the text<<<
Op failure of this magnitude is not to be tolerated. You aren’t even worthy of being called a faggot, frankly I’m just disappointed.

>>14713709
'Cowheel'? No, they don't.

>>14713626
Because it was based on high class dishes that encased food in a flavored gelatin.
Companies used those connection to market such recipes using their product as a fast and cheap substitute.

>>14713821
He's wrong but he kinda pointed towards the truth. A lot of the weird 50s 60s stuff was companies trying to sell new products to people, and especially women, on the basis of time/work saving and dick waving.
With the latest innovation your chores will be done so fast you'll show that bitch down the lane who's better and have all this free time!(nevermind, you should get a job to buy more stuff and pay a brown lady to raise your kids)

>>14714397
Jokpyeon is the Korean word. It's cowheels in jelly.

>>14714265
Traditionally you'd make pihtije with scraps and offcuts from shanks, collars, etc. Basically scraping whatever was left on the bones and stretching it out into a dish.

>>14714441
I prefer my mystery chunks in a form where I can't tell that that's what they are: tube form

>>14713724
Sounds like you're trying to save face

>>14713724
Cope

>>14713663
Wish you faggots stayed put and let Germany colonize us

can we make this a general ancient cooking thread? i want to know what other nasty shit people ate because muh social status

>>14714642
Another big reason not stated above was refrigeration got really common with the growing american middle class so gelatins were something people could have in general.

Also it was before the 70s and 80s and most families could make livings without double income so women had free time to do stupid shit and womens/homekeeping magazines pushed weird bullshit on them.

>>14713663
>Because we just got done winning the largest war in human history and gave your country freedom. Might as well have fun doing stuff when you are the most powerful nation on the planet.
>gave you freedom

Lmao the cope is palpable.

>>14713626
it had a french name, and before jello actually used to be difficult

For me, it's the frosty slaw man.

>>14713626
I had a really weird dream the other night where I made boxed mac and cheese with like green food coloring in it and gelatin and ate it and was disgusted. Not sure what that means.

>>14713694
yikes this one is really bad

>>14713626
At the time, am*rican ''''culture'''' still had a violent angl*phile streak and this was the poor fly*ver's attempt at aping the br*tish love of jelly which was in turn a b*ngistani attempt at clinging to some gastronomic dregs that washed up from mainland France, which despite being a morally bankrupt nation still manages to be better than any of its peers on the grounds of its superior taste in drink
>>14713663
OBESED

>>14713739
almost a more appropriate word for smegma than smegma

>>14716226
would be interesting to see if bronies and other incel forms make it into the history books in some way.

mmmmm

>>14716750
he cute

>>14713626
>was high cousine?
T.shelbyville

the only thing weirder to me than the gelatin trend in that era was the cooking entire meals in the microwave trend during the same period when microwaves were new. imagining a whole turkey or the likes cooked in the microwave makes me wanna fucking vomit

>>14715171
>having that shit saved to your phone
Fucking 'ell.

>>14716812
Stop using all these "*", that only show how inferior you feel in comparsion to Americans, you hopeless frog.

t. not even a burger

>>14713626
Gelatin is pretty low in calories, perfect diet food. In Germany you can buy Herring canned in Gelatin, but only Grannies buy that.

>>14716750
:3

>>14713663
this. fuck off obsessed baiting eurofags

>>14713674
god, i wish that were me

Gelatin is based
A third of the animal protein, completely unique amino acid composition that has anti-inflammatory and anti-stress properties and balances out some of the amino acids from meat
Plus it turns into jelly :))))

>>14713626

After the war ended, US army had a surplus of ballistic gelatin (since 1942 the US Army was sending all of the dead horses, camels, Germans and civilians back to the country to grind them in the now-abandoned gelatin factories in the rust belt). Dr. Avi Schmaltzberg discovered that you can make jell'o from it and that's how the military complex could research the perfect round for the future guns. The unused stockpile was later developed into the civilian market as a way of food serving.

Yeah, that's broth so full of collagen that it turns solid once cold. Amerilards use packaged gelatin to emulate this

>>14713626
Nobody has pointed out that it's a salad in a glass bowl and is not encased in jello.

/ck/ everyone!

Fuck off

Because they didn't have agar yet.

Nowadays we all have interesting textures. Look at just candy, for fuck's sake, gummies and shit. Back in the olden times they had nothing like that, except gelatins. It was unlike anything else. It was, literally, the novelty of kings.

Anyone trying to serve me anything in gelatin can get the fuck out. Disgusting fuckers.

Cocksucker zog jew bot

Do French people really?

>>14718520
wtf i love jews now

In my country, we do this with chicken feet.

>>14721102

I've got an old cookbook with something like this. I'll post pics when I get back from work if the thread is still alive.

>>14718156
What do you think gelatin is?

>>14713626
that honestly looks pretty good

>>14722047

>>14723648

Sigmund Freud's uncle, the god of advertising and convincing America to join the war, did this. He pushed "traditional" foods and formed 50s culture. It was terrible.

>>14713626
Gelatin comes from boiling bones, so most gelatin meals usually had a savory element to it since the gelatin was already meaty. Have you ever made chicken stock? It's usually jello when you chill it.
So when instant gelatin came out, savory salads were the first thing since the association of taste with gelatin was savory. Later on jello became associated with sweet, so thats why jellied meats/veggies sound weird now.

>OP pic isn't even an aspic, it's just a layered salad in a crystal serving dish
What the fuck?

>>14718190
LMAO!

>>14713927

this

i came to say this but anon beat me to it.

gelatin used to be only for the rich. who had a lot of bones. aka a lot of animals.

>>14723648
This just reminds me of headcheese and that shit was fucking disgusting

>>14724537
that's 1 of 2 >>14723656
>Add pig's trotters to ensure a good set to the jelly.

headcheese is amazing

best meat for a bahn mi

I love disgusting vintage American recipe ads

>>14725014
Fucking diabolical

???

>>14725017
Nothing like an ice-cold dinner

Shit, there were people who ONLY ever ate shit like this cause of whatever dysfunction in their nuclear family unit.

>>14714488
lol cope dumbshartican

Nature’s potato, the potato.

>>14714399
This is the only current answer in this entire thread. Gelatin was fucking expensive for a long, long time because it had to be made fresh, and it had to be made by hand. Once we were able to industrialize it's production and dehydrate it, all the older people wanted gelatin desserts because they had grown up in the depression with gelatin being a rich person's food.

>>14725017
oh thank god, potato fudge isn't real.

>>14713626
It was a meme gimmick that appeared when refrigerators became a common household appliance.

>high cousine?

top

>>14713927
There was nothing fancy or expensive with gelatin by itself, all medieval food required long as cooking. And bones were still wastes in that day. Medieval fanciness was in the spices, rich people put them everywhere, in high dosage, for the status.

>>14725017
>natural goodness of nature's potato, the Potato.
wat

>>14725017
>>14725308
You really can't help Redd/int/ fags. They believe everything they see posted and spam it on every board.

>>14713626
How the fuck are you supposed to toss it, it's inside jello.

>>14718066
>The unused stockpile was later developed into the civilian market as a way of food serving.

What? And what did they do with the used ballistic gel, just throw it away? When it could still be sold to prison and public-school cateterias? Nonsense!

>>14713626
Interesting to look at I guess.

You know, it's been so long since this was popular that I wouldn't be surprised if some michelin chef starts making it popular again. I mean, fucking foam is currently considered high "cousine".

>>14718066
I know this is bait, but fuck you
Ballistic gelatin was invented in the 60's and during WW2 the military tested ballistics with dead cattle

>>14726214

A joke is not "bait" you screeching autist. Do you go to superhero movies and scream "that's not real people can't fly?"

>>14725860
>Medieval fanciness was in the spices
Only after the crusades when they discovered that spices exist.
