We Followed A Vintage Chicken Jello Recipe

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...

My chicken don't jiggle, jiggle, it folds - wait a second, it DOES jiggle.... 🤯

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?

The fact that Carly tries all of these things beforehand is beyond me.

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

I really want to see Tyler and Safiya make Rachel’s truffle dessert from Friends

Saf's literally crying from this and Tyler's sat there like Joey with the trifle "Chicken? Good! Peas? Good! Jello? Goooood!"

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 😂

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"

The nice thing about this is that if you can't stomach it in its jelled state, put it all in a pot and heat it up and you've got chicken soup.

What I hate about this is that the complete lack of seasoning is probably very accurate lol

I love that Crusty is still in your intro. It makes me tear up a little each time. So sweet.

Carly speaking for all of us when she says "I'm upset" 😂

Idea for when family tells you to bring a dish to holiday dinner and you want to make sure they never ask again.

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!

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!!!!

“Load bearing chicken” got me! 😂

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 YouTube 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 make chicken stock from scratch all the time and i am genuinely concerned by that chicken stock recipe

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.
