Jello: What are your favorite flavors, Do you make it with club soda, do you put fruit in it, does aspic count

― anthony, Sunday, 8 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

Aspic certainly does count. the jelly you get round pâte is some of the best. Also hot liquid jelly on a cold mountain. Rasberry, blackcurrent, as a layer n trifle. But definately jelly. Rabit shaped. But what about blancmange.

I like the Dead Kennedys.

Are you from Utah, anthony? (you posted on ILM about Provo's mormon punk scene, I live in Idaho and there are MANY sXe punks, most are mormon) Jello and Utah, yeah. Jello isn't very good to eat, but if you drink it before it sets while it's still warm, it's okay.

Embedding a string of blinking christmas lights is always a good trick.

Yum yum yum.

I ABHORE JELLO!LUCKLESS ground up cattle hooves ! BLeach! worse when met with whipped creaming!

― Mike Hanle y, Monday, 9 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

It makes me nauseous (like 90s Bryan Adams)ever since I had some when I was little and the jello on top had solidified into this tough vinyl-like skin.

Jello pudding is classic though.

It makes me nauseous (like 90s Bryan Adams)ever since I had some when I was little and the jello on top had solidified into this tough vinyl-like skin.

Of course, whe I was younger, I used to make Jello and let it sit until it had formed the vinyl skin Nicole describes, then eat that. It was like sweet, rubbery jerky. Mmmm, classic.

I once ate a whole box of jelly/jello cubes. My bowels hated me for the next week.

― Richard Tunnicliffe, Monday, 9 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

Hmm, raspberry jelly cubes. Food of gods (admittedly greedy small boy type of gods who, as you rightly say get awful tummy aches). Lucky I wasn't drinking hot drink back then or the whole thing might have set in my stomach.

BTW do not feed jelly cubes to cows. They ahve worked out that it is one of the three most likely causes for BSE. (Do any other Brits get a swell of pride like me when they seem the abbreviation BSE and silent believe that the B stands for Britain?)

― Pete, Monday, 9 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

You mean mad cow disease? They get it form Jello? Serves em righ t for hungering after their own feet.

― Mike Hanle y, Monday, 9 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

EVERYONE knows BSE came from feeding cows bits of other cows / sheep (I think it was sheep with scrapie, maybe I should post a question on the Countryside forum?).

I suspect Pete's story to be an official Lie however.

My favourite jelly is vodka jelly. Otherwise raspberry but definitely not orange and definitely not any with bits of fruit in it.

― Emma, Monday, 9 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

It's not a lie at all - Jello contains animal-based gelatin, which is made out of the awful horrible disgusting bits of cows, which is where the Mad Cow Disease lives. Altoids, for the record, also contain the same type of gelatin AND THEY COME FROM BRITAIN. Altoids are more dangerous than cigarettes and alcohol, you know. BECAUSE THEY ARE FULL OF MAD COW.

― Ally, Monday, 9 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

Exactly Emma, however gelatine is made from cows feet hence the potential for it to be the cause of BSE. Admittedly the ground up bonemeal of other cattle is also a strong possibility - however much doubt has been put forward about how much of a uniformity there was between various bonemeals for the epedemic to start. A far more radical suggestion in New Scientist in 1997 was that a highly processed form of gelatine found in standard Rowntree's setting jelly's would explain the similarities of the existing cases. And also the propensity for BSE suffering animal to have piss that smelled vaguely of raspberries.

― Pete, Monday, 9 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

Anyone who actually believes that farmers give their cows jelly should go and do the IQ test and if it comes up higher than 10 I will be very shocked indeed.

PETE IS A FIBBER, OK? Dearie me.

― Emma, Monday, 9 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

However, farmers do feed black treacle to their cows.

― Richard Tunnicliffe, Monday, 9 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

No, farmers don't feed cows jello, but if you feed yourself the jello, you can contract the disease. And if you don't realize that, then maybe you should retake that silly IQ test.

Oh, yeah, Jello's a dud, because it gives you crazy diseases and tastes like someone's puked cubed blood. Ugh.

― Ally, Monday, 9 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

Farmers feed all kinds of crazy shit to cows. Jelly would not suprise me.

Didn't Utah make make Jelly its State pudding or something

― Ed, Monday, 9 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

Jello is weird. Even weirder than jello is the weird vegetarian jello that Paul's mum keeps buying us. I don't want to KNOW what they put in to take the place of the cow hoofs. Invariably a vegetarian substitute will be even more chemically suspect than what it is replacing.

― masonic boom, Monday, 9 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

By the time they've boiled and boiled and boiled the crap out of the cow's hooves/hoofs (sp?) there's probably not a lot of bad shit left in there. Hell, if I've got CJD it's more likely to be from the Brains Faggots my mum gave me for my tea than from Jelly and Ice Cream.

I love the bits of jelly in pork pies. I also love vodka jelly, slurped straight from the bowl if you're hard enough.

― Madchen, Monday, 9 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

"Brains Faggots" ?

― Mike Hanle y, Monday, 9 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

I was gonna ask, too.

― Dan Perry, Monday, 9 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

Brains faggots = cloistered foax like me, as opposed to brawn faggots, who work on their pecs in gyms and wear tight white Ts.

― mark s, Monday, 9 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

I did try to find a loving homage to Mr Brains Faggots on the modern interweb, but could only come up with proof that Noel from Popstars was in an ad for them. Search thi s page for "faggots". Is that good enough?

― Madchen, Monday, 9 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

Insert Gay Noel joke here.

― Madchen, Monday, 9 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

I have to find some now, just so I can say "I eat brain faggots".

― Nicole, Monday, 9 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

faggots = olde englishe hamburgers or bundles of wood

for brain faggots I would suggest minced calves brain, minced beef, egg rosemary, thyme all mushed together by hand an made into fat nearly round hamburgers

― Ed, Monday, 9 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

Calm down Ally. Pete said BSE in cows was caused by farmers feeding jelly to cows which I said was a lie. Which it is. But do feel free to believe him if you want to.

Interweb evidence of Brain's Faggots

WHo knows why faggot has so many meanings? Is it becasue it sjust rooolls off the tongue? Faggot: word of mystery.

― Mike Hanle y, Tuesday, 10 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

Jello with fruit in it is a pretty classic white trash entree. Jello shots are also classy.

― Otis Wheeler, Wednesday, 11 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

Jelly = not nature's finest food. But fun for kids.

Jelly-wrestling lacks the je ne sais quoi of mud-wrestling. Friend of mine used to stage both at his [strip] club. Jelly-wrestling = fun. Mud-wrestling = possessed of essence of life. Alas, club went belly-up.

― AP, Wednesday, 11 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

Edges get hard when made on cheap by cafeterias. Sometimes served with whipped cream. Dud.

jelly salad is wrong. is this american/canadian/n american?

― Alan T, Monday, 8 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Faggot: The word stems from the french word fagot, which meant a thing loosely bound, such as wood loosely bound with string. However, this word was used by American colonists to refer to a 'loose woman' or 'woman of easy virtue' during the 18th Century. It later became an equally derogatory word for homosexual. In Britain, however, the word became applied to a loosely bound offal meatball-ish product, also called a 'savoury duck' [more opportunity for gay jokes here!]. It is another example of how the English language devolved into two stems, British and American, after the colonisation and subsequant independance of America.

― martin graney, Sunday, 21 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Jello is awful. I noticed the words jello salad somewhere above and felt a chill; do people really put it in salads? Blech.

― Sean, Monday, 22 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

one year passes...

REVIVE!

M&S fruit jelly is GORGEOUS. Their raspberry one is also not that bad but not as good as LOVELY FRUIT ONE with grape and strawberry and mandarin (although if you are lucky you get one with no mandarin).

― Sarah (starry), Thursday, 13 November 2003 13:13 (twenty-one years ago) link

Also eating yoghurt at your desk is k-boring and growed up. JELLY IS BEST.

― Sarah (starry), Thursday, 13 November 2003 13:15 (twenty-one years ago) link

b-b-bur mandarin jelly roxor! (veggie of course!)

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Thursday, 13 November 2003 13:23 (twenty-one years ago) link

bur=but obviously!

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Thursday, 13 November 2003 13:23 (twenty-one years ago) link

This is a real actual bit of mandarin IN the orange jelly which tastes more like a stringy bit of grapefruit.

― Sarah (starry), Thursday, 13 November 2003 13:28 (twenty-one years ago) link

i love mandarin though, so maybe this is the key point!

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Thursday, 13 November 2003 13:33 (twenty-one years ago) link

Hurrah for the first mention of Brains Faggots on ILX!
