Has anyone ever had aspic? I was looking at aspic dishes for no reason today and they all look disgusting. I consider myself an adventurous eater but an entire dish of jiggly jello meat just doesn't appeal to me.

I have seen AB make aspic and it looked fucking gross. That guy Justin Warner on Food Network made an aspic caesar salad dressing, where the dressing kind of melted onto the leaves. It looked interesting, but not appetizing, the kind of thing chefs probably jerk it to. I would not choose to make an aspic.

I don't remember it but my aunt made tomato aspic once and my Dad didn't stop talking about how horrible it was for years afterwards.

I've tried a lot of different things in my life, but aspic isn't one of them. Now I'm curious to try it.

I have another whole roasting chicken in the sous vide. Started it last night, 150 for roughly 24 hours. Stuffed it with carrots, celery, garlic, and leeks. Filled the bag with stock so we'll have chicken and chicken soup. Will be mad delicious.

You have the skin on? What do you do after you take it out of the bag? Broil it?

Screw you guys and your Vides.

Had a Chorizo, Swiss and Peppercini Panino last night with sweet hot mustard on crackers, it was quite good. It wasn't cooked but it deserved mentioning here rather than the fast food thread.

Skin on. Take it out, brush it with butter, under the broiler for a few minutes. Gives crispy skin with moist tender meat. Everyone should try this.

The veggie aspics don't look that bad since you can see what it is. Even the boiled egg still looks like a boiled egg. Its the meat ones that make me want to hurl, they look worse than dog food.

I remember walking around Paris and seeing a shit ton of meat aspics in the windows, as if that's gonna bring customers inside...

Kinda feels like aspic is something that doesn't need to exist anymore. Something born out of necessity and trying to use every last piece of the animal. Headcheese can go away too.

Bought some nice marbled ribeye for tonight. Going to pop the cherry on my suis vide.

Looked back through my pictures from Paris, and I was misremembering. I don't think these are technically aspics, but thinking about aspics made me think of this picture. When I was walking by these, the thought of formed meat sitting out at room temperature all day was what made me gag. Also, I didn't get why the fish ones were shiny. From the left, it's salmon, foie gras, ris de veau (sweetbread), and more salmon. I think the foie and sweetbread ones are formed with some potato or something and stuck in a biscuit. Also, 10-12 euro is pretty damn expensive.

Use a torch imo, a lot easier and faster... WATCH OUT for the butter tho, it could pop in your face!
