WTF is aspic ?

>>7303735
>couldn't have googled this

>>7303745
I did thats not the point i wanted to ask people

>>7303735
Like cold broth, most often. A little salty, a little meaty, but mostly not very intense.

Exceptions do exist, such as game aspic. Image related is venison aspic. Eaten on heavy Finnish rye bread, preferrably.

Why would people make this ?

>>7303766
Because it allows people to minimize waste and produce good food, you fucking hand-wringing bland urban numpty.

Never had aspic.
Honestly, it looks really off-putting but I'd at least try it.

i made a few kinds when i was in culinary school. the flavor and consistency were a lot like what i imagine cat food tastes like

>>7303763
>>7303735
That looks like canned cat/dog food.

you can boil off cuts with fatty, tough, hard to reach meat deposits (like a skull), collect the meat, and set it in gelatin to make it easy to eat

we could also grind it into a spreadable paste (like pate)

it's all about using all parts of the animal. some might even say that these parts are more flavorful

Think of it as a solid broth. Depending on the quality of ingredients it can be really really nice.

>>7303735
>posts on a food and cooking board
>completely ignorant of food and cooking

i feel like aspic is about to make a comeback

people obsessing about how weird and gross it is is the first step to embracing it

like sushi in the 80s--90s
remember when sushi was a cartoon meme food?
>haha raw fish ewwwww

>>7303823
this. it's ewww look how gross. to let's try it out for shits and giggles. oh, this isn't so bad. maybe if we do xyz. yum, actually nice. new meme

>>7303814
Anon, that's like saying you better have watched every single anime if you want to post on /a/. Or you better have seen every movie made if you post on /tv/, or played every game ever made if you want to post on /v/. Don't be silly anon.

sure but chefs aren't helping themselves

i feel like the average charcuterie display looks medical in nature

i can just imagine room temperature eggs and aspics sliding around on a mirror

>>7303823

>implying that people actually eat sushi with raw fish

Legitimate sushi is still as taboo as it ever was, in my experience. The stuff being served in Le Sushi Place downtown is the same stuff people eat every day, wrapped in rice and (sometimes not even) seaweed.

It's like people who want a "coffee" adding cream and sugar to it until it's basically a dessert.

>>7303846
haha gross.. the charcuterie i've have seen are almost exclusively served on "rustic" wooden boards of some sort

>>7303858
Chicken sushi is superior to fish.

I imagine it's like eating cold, solid soup.

>>7303858
No, I don't eat sushi with raw fish, sashimi is a much better use of it

>>7303798
whole pieces of meat are somehow similar to dry food or mechanically separated finely ground mush?

>>7303923

>>7303735
It's meat in stock jelly. Good shit if the stock is well made.

>>7303735
Aspic is just a really well made gelatin that firmed up when stock was chilled. It was likely naturally put together from just leftovers that did that naturally, when forming loafs of meat.

Got to keep a couple things in mind. Not everyone had good teeth at every age in the olden days, so food that was pulled from the bone, and formed was not only delicate to eat but kind of needed when you weren't microwaving food or cooking all your meals all of your days. When refrigeration happened, it because far more en vogue to serve created gelatin molds, as well as ice creams.

I like a pate more than I like a gelatin mold, in a savory sense. But, I absolutely adore tomato aspic, and sort of adulterated sweet jellos, like my whole chopped cranberry-orange peel studded raspberry mold, done with the crunch of walnuts. I don't mind things that taste like ambrosia, like those green molds filled with marshmallows, coconut, pineapple, cherries, you name it. All good. The mouth feel of the gelatin protein is quite nice, and in a soup, much desired. It's one of the reasons I like pho well done, or those soup filled dumplings in dim sum.

Nah, too much fear of prion disease from using spine and connective tissues.

>>7303846
>i feel like the average charcuterie display looks medical in nature
Because that's not average. It's on a freaking mirror, and it's tiny bite size canapes. A charcuterie would look far better when you're on a cutting board, where you actually would be slicing those cheeses and meats.

Verhackertes. Bacon and garlic chopped until it becomes spreadable.

>>7304368
Sounds good. Does it taste like a bacony pate?

>>7304380
It mostly tastes like (beech smoked) bacon really. I'm surprised that it's not a thing in the US considering the whole bacon meme thing going one there.

>>7304368
that sounds really good

>>7303735
>What is this shit ?
Only the best thing you can put on a slice of bread.
