I grew up eating Jell-O occasionally, and I just read atlasobscura's article, How America Embraced Aspics ... . Of course, I then had to search "aspic" on NYT Cooking. I found only ten recipes, one of which is not an aspic, and it's funny how there are no pictures of these highly visual dishes. As atlasobscura says, "this former food of the future is now a subject of derision and morbid fascination." I may have to make some!
Fine, just basically came out seeming like one of those 50s jello fruit things
Well yeah... the 50s jello fruit things are aspics
