It’s... um... aspic (Jazz Baby WIP)
Added 2020-08-14 21:57:53 +0000 UTCYou can’t write a story about the 1920s and NOT include this savory jelly monstrosity.

What's with the 20s (and 50s!) and their obsession to make gelatin out of everything?

2020-08-19 20:11:39 +0000 UTCOh goodness that’s appallingly fascinating!

2020-08-16 18:35:56 +0000 UTCCan you imagine Aziraphale’s reaction to those things? Yikes.

2020-08-15 21:18:02 +0000 UTCUgh, my grandmother used to cook stuff like that. Like chicken and pickled onions. I hated it so much! I’m with Crowley in this one

2020-08-15 18:46:58 +0000 UTCWell...aspic at least tries to look pretty. Let me upgrade you to the german Sülze. Please don't google it. It's gross, disgusting and looks like it has already been eaten. I understand Crowley completly. Even though Aziraphale would gush: "Oh look what those humans came up with, my dear! Isn't that amazing?"

2020-08-15 16:19:22 +0000 UTCI agree that Crowley got credit for that in hell and now sees it for the first time.

2020-08-15 05:19:38 +0000 UTCEven before I scrolled down all the way, “It’s one of those jello monstrosities they ate too many of in the ‘50s.” I have to think after this Crowley said “I hate it, you’re welcome!” and got a commendation. Love his adorable grossed out face!

2020-08-15 03:04:41 +0000 UTCMaybe there is a cultural difference between various countries, whether this food is common or not. Also sweet jellies with various fruit flavours are very common here, we buy boxes of powder and cook them ourselves, and they have been big hits with kids for several generations. I love fruit jellies myself.

2020-08-15 02:04:56 +0000 UTCAyup. I TOTALLY agree with Crowley on this one. XD In fact, I was just thinking the other day that he should have taken credit for those things, while finding images of them online.

2020-08-15 00:07:02 +0000 UTCI'm a home ec teacher and I inherited a bunch of old cookbooks from the previous teacher and this gave me The Most Visceral flashbacks to every time a kid has asked me 'uh....what is this a picture of and why would anyone make it' 😂

2020-08-14 23:38:36 +0000 UTCOMG why did people eat that? It's the worst part of flipping through old magazines 😂😂

2020-08-14 23:20:01 +0000 UTCThose are actually quite yummy, with the right filling, and the right side dishes. They are still sold in grocery stores in my country, and still commonly eaten.

2020-08-14 22:19:04 +0000 UTCOne of those things that just looks like it came from Hell, but humans manage to inflict on each other without Crowley's help.

2020-08-14 22:15:48 +0000 UTCI have always been curious about these. Like... Dare I try

2020-08-14 22:12:58 +0000 UTCCrowley should totally take credit for that. Hell would probably give him a promotion.
Jessie Pyne
2020-08-14 22:10:04 +0000 UTCCrowley sees a camembert in aspic (look it up it's incredible) and gets the haircut that looks exactly like it (he also tempted Louise Brooks to do it). He thought it would be super dastardly and ruin the status quo and gender roles which it did but it also turned out completely iconic and the height of fashion. 🤷♀️

2020-08-14 22:03:21 +0000 UTCAziraphale: and what was that vile stuff you convinced me to try in Scotland? Hagrid? Crowley: Haggis. It's good for you!

2020-08-14 22:03:14 +0000 UTCCrowley: I did not go through the 14th century for this

2020-08-14 22:00:25 +0000 UTCOh, god. I love this. I love looking through old cookbooks and the obsession people had with gelatin was...unsettling.
