So do I understand cirrectly that this gelatine enables you to take any broth/soup and turn it into a cake?
They were all called "salads" for some obscene reason, but yes.
Solid soup defijitely must have sounded sci fi hack in the 50s
It was because aspics were meant to 'contain' stuff, not just be gross, savory Jell-O. Like, a traditional aspic salad would have various fruits suspended in it.
I think when gelatin became common in grocery stores, people were just all about the novelty. If you read cookbooks from the 50s that have these recipes in them, you see a commonality — people were just chuffed as chips that they could make a cake that jiggles lol.
