HELLO!! The concept of this is much worse than the taste itself, but that being said, would you ever try this savory ~chicken jello~? 😛I stand by my choice to grab the second slice but I’m not sure we're ever gonna spend the whole day to make it again...
So, basically, it's like a chilled chicken soup? I'm not sure I would try it for two main reasons: 1) I like my soup hot. I won't even eat gazpacho. 2) I don't think I would be able to find the time to make it anyway. 😂😂 Much love from SC, and see you guys uh-next time! 🥰
One thing I love about Tyler and Safiya is that they're not picky eaters AT ALL. They try the weirdest stuff but always trying to be open minded and avoiding the pre-judgement. They're also very good at describing what they feel/ taste, I really appreciate it
Okay, theory. What if these jello mold dinners were not to impress your guests, but to horrify and disgust them so they would never want to come over for a dinner party again?
Based on the 1950’s norms of hospitality where you needed to reciprocate hosting parties, maybe being a horrible host/hostess would be a great strategy. 😂
Unfortunately the reality is actually that gelatin had only recently become available to the common middle-class family, but it probably also served to do that too
Gelatin was a luxury item up until that point, because of the time and resources needed to make it. Post WW2 the general public were obsessed with gelatin because it along with other “luxury” things that seem weird to us, like crazy interior design choices of the 60s and 70s, suddenly became available that never were before except to rich people.
As a Post-Soviet child, this is all too familiar… This is similar to a dish my dad makes every year for Christmas Breakfast. Without veggies, less gelatin and more meat. Usually eaten with spicy mustard and horseradish. Not my fave but it’s funny how this seems so normal to me 😂
Yeah, he will be sadly missed. But I must say Safiya and Tyler take care good care of crusty over the years. They are really good parents/owners of crusty.
The entire video I was thinking the same. Actually kind of a cool way to present a soup, also less likely to spill, if you would have to transport it somewhere🤔
I often do lots of chicken drumsticks in a large pot with onion, carrots, sweet corn and peas. It becomes very sweet, and if you cook it long enough (since the drumsticks have bones) the collagen seeps out, so once it cools down it becomes actual jelly. The difference is that the broth is actually extremely flavorful, and very nice and comforting when it's warm. I have dared not slurp up some of it in jello form. (Also the stock turns somewhat opaque, so you might have to do that french trick where you boil it with beaten eggs to clarify it.) There's probably a better way to do this dish but it would not have been published like the one in this video. Because nobody is gonna simmer their chicken for three hours…
i remember learning about why people were so obsessed with gelatin and it's because it was relatively recent at the time that you COULD buy gelatin, and it was seen as some sort of futuristic cooking thing, so people were just experimenting with it at the time. like the idea of buying shelf-stable stuff from the store was new, sort of like canned foods and such as well. so it really was like "look at me, i'm learning the new futuristic cooking things aren't i cool"
And before you COULD buy gelatin you had to buy a lot of bones with joints and meat and boil it for long (the way we still do it in Russia) and it would be expensive.
@@annasolovyeva1013 Not quite, Jello and its predecessors "Knox Gelatin" and "Bromangelon" (the latter one was discontinued in the 1930s) go back to the *1890s.* Ice Cream also does, Charlie Chaplin ate Ice Cream as a kid then, but refrigerators weren't a thing yet. Ice Boxes go back to before fridges, but I'm not sure how far.
@@101Volts having an ice box or a fridge would be expensive too (unless you use, like, Russia as your walk in fridge for your Christmas/New Year feast as Russians do). It would be generally seen as high-tech
@@elizacojocariu39 Yeah but that's an old traditional recipe that's meant to be enjoyed. The culture that gave birth to this chicken jello tower and numerous other molded aspic recipes did so because it looked funny. Make no mistake, no chef was involved in making this recipe.
Vintage recipes was our theme for Christmas dinner one year. I made a deviled egg gelatin mold from a 1957 cookbook.... I couldn't get anyone to even try it!!! It looked odd,.,.. & it smelled right. But my son that loves eggs. He was 25 or so looked at me and said "mom, that is just wrong in every way." The dogs wouldn't eat it!!!!
I think the key to making this look and taste its best it should be very thin layers, very dense on the ingredients, with jello just being there mostly to bind them together.
Russian here (and we have a LOT of similar dishes). You use stock based on bones and joints boiled for long, FLAT mold and put a lot of meat and stuff in there, layer by layer...
As someone who j o grew up helping my mom with these "wonderful" dishes, we had to set the jelli in tiny steps so nothing floated and we retained the designs. It took DAYS!
Okay! So in Ukraine we have a very similar dish to this. The first thing that I would say was not good, to use chicken breast. We are usually using the whole chicken because actual bones giving you a lot of flavor. It takes about 8 hours for gelatin to fully release and then you pulling out the chicken and start getting all those bones and skin out so you are left with clean meat only) if you put that chicken broth in the fridge it’s going to get hard in couple of hours without using anything extra! But definitely you guys did great on your dish and reminded me of my home!
The Victorians were super into savory aspic dishes, they were popular travel and picnic food. Supersizers Go (the show hosted by Sue Perkins of Bakeoff fame and Giles Coren) did an episode where they ate a lot of those dishes. And I'm pretty sure Mrs. Crocombe has made Victorian aspic dishes on The Victorian Way (the RUclips series). I know you guys are more TikTok than Victorian recreation, but given Safiya's love of historical recreation and whatnot, it could be super fun to do an episode on the most ridiculous Victorian or Edwardian aspic recipes you can find, using actual antique recipes. Some of those old recipes are hilarious. Oh also, you really needed way more veggies and chicken in your layers for such a deep mold. If you look at drawings and photos of classic aspic dishes, they should be mostly filling with just enough gelatin to hold it together. But for a first time with almost no frame of reference, you did great.
I believe I’ve heard the popularity back then was partially because when you encase the food like this it stays good for longer because oxygen can’t get to it, which is honestly smart.
I'd be so curious to see a second try of this where you shredded the chicken and did even more layers, but thinner, so that you could get more olives and peppers in there and have them stay where you put them. Maybe also throw in some short noodles to complete the chicken soup vibe!
yeah the amount of chicken, paes, olives and tomatoes to jello looks off and maybe that's why the bottom of the "cake" was so unstable because of how much that final layer of jello was carrying
We have something similar in Poland. It's called galareta, galareta drobiowa (when made with poultry), galert (that's regional name) or zimne nóżki (translates as cold feets, because it's made with pork legs). We also cook the meat but with vegetables (carrot, leek, celery root, parsley root), so the broth is more rich in flavour. We make it in normal serving bowls and it usually contains parsley, hard boiled eggs, carrots (from the broth), peas, corn and meat. When ready, we serve it with a few drops of vinegar and bread. Some people love it, some people hate it. I think it's not that disgusting as it sounds 😅
I believe that my Grandparents called things like this "we made it because it's what we had. We made it again because it was shockingly okay. And it's all we had. Again" But in shorter words 🙂
I grew up loving the store bought 'Sülze' (as we call it in Germany), so I was delighted when my parents claimed that they can make something similar - unfortunately that one was absolutely disgusting (and yes, way more gritty feet, pig skin and other 'leftovers' than actual meat) and cemented my belief that homemade is not always better!
@@adrianaheiler9794 yes, definitely! I like it when it's made with poultry and only with eggs and carrots, but my mom loved the version with pork, skin and all the fatty bits. I think it's post-communism thing.
The egg white step was to remove any impurities from the jello, not a step we generally have to do now because of the modern process of making jello. You see that step in a lot of Victorian recipes. If anyone was wondering about thay seemingly random step.
This is actually a very common dish in Poland (we call it ,,galareta") Especially on holidays, it's something that grandparents make. It's made a little differently tho😊. For example in my family we always made the gelatin by ourselves, there's a lot of boiling and chopping, but the flavour is amazing. I'm a vegetarian now, so I don't eat it but it's a pleasant memory for me😊
Actually when I make chicken soup... if I put it in the fridge, it solidifies into aspic. I scoop some into a bowl and microwave it and it turns back into soup. So even if you don't like aspic (I do), you can treat it as "amusing way to serve soup before you microwave it."
At the time, there were whole dinner menus (from appetizer and cocktails to dessert) designed to be presented straight the the fridge. Ideally, there would be nothing else in the fridge and you would open it in front of your guests to remove and present each artistic dish. And, yes, they always had something in Aspic.
It should always be remembered that before refrigeration, the mere presence of dish that required cooling was impressive. there where still some social kinks to work out when refrigerators became widely available...
I need more of these Vile or Vibin' videos (please feel free to take that name LOL). This was hysterical, and my Gram lost it when you ate it! She said, "Well no one really eats it, it's just decoration." 🤣🤣
Similar dish (although the broth base was much better seasoned and we put put it into a cake mould) was the staple Christmas food in my Post-Soviet childhood. It was tasty! My aunt also made it with smoked fish and fish broth instead of chicken and decor included green olives and lemon wedges (this variation still could be found at deli sections of some supermarkets and it tastes good too)
In Poland we actually eat it very often! We don't make a tower, just a singlel layer of jello with chicken, peas, broccolli and carrots. I agree, chicken is weird, I don't like it either but my family makes it with baked salmon and it's really tasty!
@@Starmongoose The chicken isn't the problem (although, yeah, no bones makes it not stock per se), it's the lack of any herbs or aromatics other than onion and peppercorn. Needs some Thyme, Rosemary, carrots, celery, etc.

Chicken jello (or pork jello) is a very popular dish in Poland, it is called "zimne nóżki" which literally means "cold legs". It's more a snack that a main dish, it is very popular at parties, and it is actually very tasty if prepared well
I had to put my cat down on Monday, and your and Saf’s videos never fail to make me smile. Thanks for making this time just a little bit more bearable ♥️
It's actually one of traditional foods in my country! We have it in Poland, but I believe some other Slavic countries have it as well. I never really liked it, but I've never found it weird since I've been growing up with it, it was just one of the gross foods that old people like to eat lol
In Poland we actually do eat a similar dish, but in smaller servings. We usually put carrots, garden parsley, peas, corn and chicken in it. And then we eat it with vinegar poured on it. It’s actually amazing, especially when you are after a few drinks😅
I think the egg whites make a "raft" to capture anything that would make the broth/jello cloudy making a very clear aspic. I have pieced this information together from several cooking shows. The raft from... Masterchef Australia I think. Or a fever dream.
Yes the egg whites are for sure clearing the broth! Definitely used a lot in Masterchef Australia. And a common technique in French cooking for example making consommée I think
In Romania we have a similar kind of food, we call “Răcituri” or “Piftie”, that a lot of people here actually love and eat. We usually make it on Christmas, but you can find pretty much all the time:)
Same in russia...you boil the "soup" until the bones have released so much gelatine that it turns into jelly when it's cold...never tried it bc it just looks gross imo hahahaha
There's a food very similar to this in eastern european countries. Estonians call it "sült" and it's usually just shredded meat and jello, some add vegetables. I've heard that people are not a fan of it but i actually like it.
This is actually a super old idea. In the middle ages it was called Galantine. An old family friend once served us a beef aspic with salad, and it was a lovely refreshing lunch for a hot day. If you're not used to it though, I imagine it's a bit of a shock.
@@beccak8166 There's a recipe for "Galentyne" in Maggie Black's Medieval Cookbook. I'm sure it's gone by lots of different names, spellings, etc. over the centuries.
In Ukraine we have a chicken jello that we make. It has a lot of chicken in it and broth with either gelatin or home make broth with bones. You serve it with Russian mustard or with vinegar (my preference)
So do I 😂. To me, it looks absolutely horrendous 🤮, I would not eaten it if it was served to me. But I can totally relate to Safiya in terms for struggling to eat what is considered inedible.
Lol, this "vintige disgusting" dish is one of the most popular wedding/party dishes in Poland to this day. My boyfriend wanted me to do it for his birthday just last week. :P
For the designs, I think I would put a small amount of jello on the surface, arrange the peppers and olives, fridge it, then submerge what's left for that layer
Am I the only one who was hoping for "Vile or Viral"? As for what should go in the jello mold, I'd love to see you both try out jello injection art. Sounds like a fun time for everyone, and the giant mold would be a great way to show off layers of work.
😂 I can’t believe you went in and made this. It’s as you said, a textural nightmare but I really enjoyed making it. Thanks so much for the laugh and for sharing Retro Recipes Kitchen 🥰
I rember aspic being really popular in the 90s. It wasn't with chicken but eggs and shrimp, and vegetables. When we made it we used a smaller mold (about the size of the bottom half) and stuffed it full, then added the gelatin. That way everything stayed where it was supposed to be.
my grandma used to make aspic all the time but not in a mold like that but in much shallower things like soup plates. my grandpa loved it and I used to eat it as a kid but now I'd probably gag 😅
The prawn cocktail jello tower is…a thing. The one with frankfurts is oddly satisfying to look at if nothing else (I can’t imagine it’s satisfying to eat).
Aspic with peas and shrimp inside is still sold in all grocery stores in Norway. My parents eat it from time to time, and it's not viewed as very weird here, but I can see why it would be, 'cause I'm not a fan of the texture either.
This looks strange. That’s not how we make “chicken jello”. To make real chicken jello aka aspic you need to boil chicken drums for 2 hours so the natural gelatin was transferred into the water. Try it - it’s amazing! When you eat it, it’s like the best chicken soup, but not in a liquid form and more meat per square inch, because the aim it to shred the meat and evenly spread it. If you eat it with horseradish beet relish - it will add sweetness and spiciness. Of course with bread too. So tasty.
Aspic is very much still alive in Norway, although it's more like they yeet in basically a whole salad in there (eggs, shrimp, bell peppers, peas etc). It's pretty tasty, if I'm honest, as long as you make sure the ratio aspic/gelatin to food is wayyyyy skewed towards the foodstuffs; only the thinnest layer of aspic to keep everything shaped together.
HELLO!! The concept of this is much worse than the taste itself, but that being said, would you ever try this savory ~chicken jello~? 😛I stand by my choice to grab the second slice but I’m not sure we're ever gonna spend the whole day to make it again...

The egg white step was to remove any impurities from the jello, not a step we generally have to do now because of the modern process of making jello. You see that step in a lot of Victorian recipes. If anyone was wondering about thay seemingly random step.
We still use egg rafts to clarify broth when you need your stock as clear as possible. So that you can see the pimento starbursts inside.
This is actually a very common dish in Poland (we call it ,,galareta") Especially on holidays, it's something that grandparents make. It's made a little differently tho😊. For example in my family we always made the gelatin by ourselves, there's a lot of boiling and chopping, but the flavour is amazing. I'm a vegetarian now, so I don't eat it but it's a pleasant memory for me😊
Actually when I make chicken soup... if I put it in the fridge, it solidifies into aspic. I scoop some into a bowl and microwave it and it turns back into soup. So even if you don't like aspic (I do), you can treat it as "amusing way to serve soup before you microwave it."
Real aspic made your way is so much nicer than powdered gelatine.
The buffet is open, please take a slice of chicken soup and step over to the microwave.
At the time, there were whole dinner menus (from appetizer and cocktails to dessert) designed to be presented straight the the fridge. Ideally, there would be nothing else in the fridge and you would open it in front of your guests to remove and present each artistic dish. And, yes, they always had something in Aspic.
It should always be remembered that before refrigeration, the mere presence of dish that required cooling was impressive. there where still some social kinks to work out when refrigerators became widely available...
I need more of these Vile or Vibin' videos (please feel free to take that name LOL). This was hysterical, and my Gram lost it when you ate it! She said, "Well no one really eats it, it's just decoration." 🤣🤣
Similar dish (although the broth base was much better seasoned and we put put it into a cake mould) was the staple Christmas food in my Post-Soviet childhood. It was tasty! My aunt also made it with smoked fish and fish broth instead of chicken and decor included green olives and lemon wedges (this variation still could be found at deli sections of some supermarkets and it tastes good too)
In Poland we actually eat it very often! We don't make a tower, just a singlel layer of jello with chicken, peas, broccolli and carrots. I agree, chicken is weird, I don't like it either but my family makes it with baked salmon and it's really tasty!
i make chicken stock from scratch all the time and i am genuinely concerned by that chicken stock recipe
lol im not over using skinless chicken breasts as a stock...
Right it's soo plain. I feel like it's just chicken water.
Exactly! The meat would be tough and flavourless.
@@Starmongoose The chicken isn't the problem (although, yeah, no bones makes it not stock per se), it's the lack of any herbs or aromatics other than onion and peppercorn. Needs some Thyme, Rosemary, carrots, celery, etc.
Actual chicken or other stock should be used.
OMG I have been following Keiko Lynn on and off for about 10 years now for her fashion, beauty and DIY content and honestly, not having checked her our for the past 2-3 years I feel like learning about the Retro Recipes project just now opened a whole new galaxy of content to enjoy. Thank you guys!
This comment mean so much to me , you're selected as one of the winners on my weekly G.I.V.EAWAY . Message the above highlighted ( name ) don't hesitations!⬆️❤️
I love the role reversal of Saf being behind the camera making snarky comments and Tyler taking the wheel haha
The paper white boiled chicken killed me-
You said it..white! 🤣
Chicken jello (or pork jello) is a very popular dish in Poland, it is called "zimne nóżki" which literally means "cold legs". It's more a snack that a main dish, it is very popular at parties, and it is actually very tasty if prepared well
I had to put my cat down on Monday, and your and Saf’s videos never fail to make me smile. Thanks for making this time just a little bit more bearable ♥️
❤ 🫂
Safiya and Tyler posting on the same night is the best thing since a double feature at the drive-in in high school!
It's actually one of traditional foods in my country! We have it in Poland, but I believe some other Slavic countries have it as well. I never really liked it, but I've never found it weird since I've been growing up with it, it was just one of the gross foods that old people like to eat lol
I think my favorite thing Tyler has made was the potato chips with the potato starch…. This reminds me of Rachel’s truffle in friends for some reason
LOL rachel’s trifle made me giggle, a good modern day comparison for sure
Trifle
@@TheDolphace I bet you’re really fun at parties
@@bubbleblossom333 I am, because I turn up with a trifle, not a mushroom.
In Poland we actually do eat a similar dish, but in smaller servings. We usually put carrots, garden parsley, peas, corn and chicken in it. And then we eat it with vinegar poured on it. It’s actually amazing, especially when you are after a few drinks😅
I think the egg whites make a "raft" to capture anything that would make the broth/jello cloudy making a very clear aspic.
I have pieced this information together from several cooking shows. The raft from... Masterchef Australia I think.
Or a fever dream.
Yes the egg whites are for sure clearing the broth! Definitely used a lot in Masterchef Australia. And a common technique in French cooking for example making consommée I think
@@emmmijj RUclips comments! Educational! 🙂
I think you're correct I remember watching a chef explain how the egg whites were used to clarify the gelatin.
I saw that mold in your lipgloss video and have been patiently waiting for this video on vintage jello recipes!
In Romania we have a similar kind of food, we call “Răcituri” or “Piftie”, that a lot of people here actually love and eat. We usually make it on Christmas, but you can find pretty much all the time:)
same in Poland!! we call it "zimne nóżki" which translates to "cold legs". it always grossed me out lol
Same in Hungary! Its called ‘kocsonya’. I actuallyreally like it 😌
Same in russia...you boil the "soup" until the bones have released so much gelatine that it turns into jelly when it's cold...never tried it bc it just looks gross imo hahahaha
do you also eat it with winegar? or its just in Poland?
@@Kathyelyn in Lithuania we eat with vinegar too :) but i prefer it with mayo and horseradish.
There's a food very similar to this in eastern european countries. Estonians call it "sült" and it's usually just shredded meat and jello, some add vegetables. I've heard that people are not a fan of it but i actually like it.
Counting down the days until Tyler and Safiya tries a Mrs. Crocombe recipe lmao
TURBOT! (I wonder if etsy has vintage turbot kettles as well, Mrs Crocombe would blow a fuse if they don't use the right equipment for it!)
YES although I hope it's not pigeon pie with feet sticking out 😬 that sure was an episode
@@adrianaheiler9794 for this dish, you will need.....
TURBOT
This is actually a super old idea. In the middle ages it was called Galantine. An old family friend once served us a beef aspic with salad, and it was a lovely refreshing lunch for a hot day. If you're not used to it though, I imagine it's a bit of a shock.
I'm pretty sure the first galantine was in like the 1800s, not the middle ages
@@beccak8166 There's a recipe for "Galentyne" in Maggie Black's Medieval Cookbook. I'm sure it's gone by lots of different names, spellings, etc. over the centuries.
I was wondering if we were going to get a double feature and kinda gave up the hope but y'all made it happen!!! Iconic 💖
Safiya's commentary throughout is the best part
I wonder if Cristine would make nail art replicating your dish... 🤔💅🏻
Polish mountain, savory gelatine edition?
I have no words. GAH!! Thank you for the big smile on my face. Video is for the win.
In Ukraine we have a chicken jello that we make. It has a lot of chicken in it and broth with either gelatin or home make broth with bones. You serve it with Russian mustard or with vinegar (my preference)
The phrase “load bearing chicken” is going to have to be incorporated SOMEHOW into my next tattoo it just has to
I’m dying a Safiya’s disgusts for this jello tower of tower 😂 thank you for your sacrifice Saf and Tyler!
So do I 😂. To me, it looks absolutely horrendous 🤮, I would not eaten it if it was served to me. But I can totally relate to Safiya in terms for struggling to eat what is considered inedible.
I love Saf’s random Office references. A stapler? I’d watch that!
We have been blessed with double content (AGAIN!)! 💃💃💃
Please make this a series! Absolutely love it
We have this dish in Poland and we eat it often during holidays or birthdays. We call it "galert"
Saf’s commentary noises during this video…hilarious! Thanks for making my night guys! 😂❤😊
Yeah, I glad both of them helping each other with challenges on their channels. One always compliment the other.
I’m very happy to now know what Saf and Tyler sound like during the any b-roll you two have included in videos 😅
I’m convinced the jello mold dinners were why they used to drink a lot of martinis and scotch😂
We need more vintage recipe vids, this is so good 😂
Lol, this "vintige disgusting" dish is one of the most popular wedding/party dishes in Poland to this day. My boyfriend wanted me to do it for his birthday just last week. :P
I wanna bring this to a party with my friends and act like it’s normal so they feel obligated to eat it😭
if you decided to do this please do an update 😭
@@way9883 maybe one day. I’m broke rn.
lawful evil
well it's normal party dish in europe xd Maybe more popular amongst boomers than millenials, but you can still buy it in almost every corner shop.
@@anic131313 you poor souls
I love Tyler's idea to show up with a chicken jello nightmare to a potluck with no explanation! Lol
I love how many videos they have started making 😊
It’s such a rollercoaster of emotions to watch this. I’m having fun and laughing, then squirming from upsetness and disgust
For the designs, I think I would put a small amount of jello on the surface, arrange the peppers and olives, fridge it, then submerge what's left for that layer
yes! this is what I was thinking!! :D
KEIKO LYN!!! OMGOSH Ive never seen ppl post much of her anywhere she's a GEM. ✨✨✨✨
I knew I was going to be rewarded for staying up late tonight! Thanks for the double upload goodness!
I’m obsessed with 80s TV guide recipes. I have some from Kraft that have cheese in literally everything. Even the apple crumble dessert
Safiya being so reckless with the camera is amazing
Yeah and the sound she made when Tyler try to put back the gelatin in the fridge, got me 😂.
This whole video is amazing and hilarious, but I just lost it when Saf grabbed Tyler's arm for emotional support before she tasted it 😄
Am I the only one who was hoping for "Vile or Viral"?
As for what should go in the jello mold, I'd love to see you both try out jello injection art. Sounds like a fun time for everyone, and the giant mold would be a great way to show off layers of work.
Please make this a full series!
I love the chaos in these videos 😂 but my favorite livestream is the chocolate noodles one so it makes sense lol
You too always have such fun videos! I needed this today. Thanks!
What else should we put in jello?
A stapler perhaps???
Yes!!! No video complete without an Office reference 🥰😂
Thank ou for this!
You guys should try making raindrop cakes so you can try a different sweet version!! This episode was so fun though so thank you 😊
Vile or viable?
That recipe is a rollercoaster from start to finish! Retro recipes are wild!
Vile or…virtuous ?
😂 I can’t believe you went in and made this. It’s as you said, a textural nightmare but I really enjoyed making it.
Thanks so much for the laugh and for sharing Retro Recipes Kitchen 🥰
At least they are up the challenge when comes to experimenting with stuff.
@@patricia_seraphine Yeah! Like I said, I loved it and I think it was a more accurate look at how my version went, without the fluff haha
I rember aspic being really popular in the 90s. It wasn't with chicken but eggs and shrimp, and vegetables. When we made it we used a smaller mold (about the size of the bottom half) and stuffed it full, then added the gelatin. That way everything stayed where it was supposed to be.
honestly i just love keiko and bobby (retro recipes) so this makes me so happy 🥹
Blessed with a Saf and a Tyler vid on the same day 😮
This was AMAZING! So fun to watch. More Jelly foods please 🙏
In China, I had a cilantro and gelatin savory dish that was super tasty!
The office joke at the end! 😍
my grandma used to make aspic all the time but not in a mold like that but in much shallower things like soup plates. my grandpa loved it and I used to eat it as a kid but now I'd probably gag 😅
Awesome job Tyler.
I have never been more upset with a dish before in my life. And I wasn't even the one eating it! 😂
The prawn cocktail jello tower is…a thing. The one with frankfurts is oddly satisfying to look at if nothing else (I can’t imagine it’s satisfying to eat).
Ive never heard of chicken jello... but yall make my day every single time you post!!!
Saffiya’s sound effects as the ingredients are going in made me lmao. Hilarious!
"The perfect dish to impress guests at an evening dinner"
more like my guest would get shocked ㅋㅋㅋㅋ i wanna try this to check the taste haha
Vile and Viable? Thanks for taking the time to make this guys. It was fun to watch! (And horrifying to imagine eating 😂😭)
Just an FYI there is a kitchen tool called an egg separator, so you can avoid the egg yolk juggle!! Lol !
Safiya: " I want to complain about it ,but still do it "
That's me with my uni work🤭
I would love to see Tyler make Minnesota salads that aren’t really salads
Aspic with peas and shrimp inside is still sold in all grocery stores in Norway. My parents eat it from time to time, and it's not viewed as very weird here, but I can see why it would be, 'cause I'm not a fan of the texture either.
This looks strange. That’s not how we make “chicken jello”. To make real chicken jello aka aspic you need to boil chicken drums for 2 hours so the natural gelatin was transferred into the water. Try it - it’s amazing! When you eat it, it’s like the best chicken soup, but not in a liquid form and more meat per square inch, because the aim it to shred the meat and evenly spread it. If you eat it with horseradish beet relish - it will add sweetness and spiciness. Of course with bread too. So tasty.
Aspic is very much still alive in Norway, although it's more like they yeet in basically a whole salad in there (eggs, shrimp, bell peppers, peas etc). It's pretty tasty, if I'm honest, as long as you make sure the ratio aspic/gelatin to food is wayyyyy skewed towards the foodstuffs; only the thinnest layer of aspic to keep everything shaped together.
