This deranged Julia Child aspic creation should be sent straight to hell

[Warpy]

3. It really doesn't have to be, I've enjoyed it.

It was a strong, clarified chicken stock with dry white wine in it, jellied and set firmly, cut into cubes, and jumbled into dessert dishes, and garnished with chopped scallion. Sides were salad and bread, dessert was fruit and cheese.

It was very hot and muggy and eating that chicken broth as chicken soup would not have been nice. As it was, it was cool and refreshing, if a little weird. The trick was to let the aspic melt in your mouth.

I only had the chicken aspic cubes once at a friend's house. Since I wasn't nuts about the texture, I never duplicated it at home.

I think Jamie's problem is the one a lot of us have, that we were traumatized in our youth by Jello salads, some of them savory and all of them awful.

Stuff in aspic looks gorgeous, it shimmers and sparkles and veg under the jelly takes on a jewel like quality. But no thanks, really, you can have my share, I'll fill up on sides.
