3. If it's got gelatin in it, I won't eat it.

You know, made from animals and all that.

6. I know it's made from animal parts, but I forget which.

Edited on Fri Jan-30-09 03:51 PM by BurtWorm

Is it horse's hooves? If so, do they lop off the hooves of horses they slaughter, or do they collect clippings from live horses?

8. I doubt clippings from live horses would be enough.

Generally, it's made from the cartilage, hooves and bones of all the other animals people eat. Here's the wiki link and first sentence:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gelatin

Gelatin (from French gélatine) is a translucent, colorless, brittle, nearly tasteless solid substance, extracted from the collagen inside animals' skin and bones.

11. I always thought it was cow's hooves.

But according to this: http://www.ochef.com/909.htm

Most of it comes from pig skin now.

15. My brother and SIL made a wonderful cranberry salad this past Xmas

using a plant-based gelling agent. They didn't remember what the product was, but were quite happy with how it came out. Everyone in my family but me is a meat-eater, but are more than happy to accommodate my needs, learning as they do :D

Did you notice in that link we have another reason to bring up the hated kudzu? :P

That's a nice site; thanks for the link :)
I'll have to look through it more tonight.

7. I'm frankly surprised by how poorly it's doing.

It's early yet, though.

12. I wouldn't. I mean, she's cute and all, but she's dating a friend of mine.

14. I don't usually bother with it

Although I feel like I'm obligated to love it; I live just down the road from the Jello Museum.

22. The particular mold in the OP looks like it will give you hallucinations.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

23. I like my Jello like I like my men:

Rainbow-colored and shaped like a puckered rectum.

24. Jello

My mother used to make Jello molds like that in the 80's.lol

Anyways,Jello is good,but I eat the portion controlled kind made
by Hunts,because they are in a cup,and sugarless.

Good for someone who is watching their diet.

But if sugar is not your concern,then Jello's Blue Raspberry is an
awesome flavor.
