    Green pimento olives and kiwi together??? 🤢

    At first I thought this was some sort of fruit salad jello, but it isn’t. It’s just… everything.

    Ham? Carrots or maybe cheddar? I assume the whipped shit is egg? Maybe fish on top or something, and then peas, olives, and kiwi…? Just why…?

      Looks like an aspic to me. Ham, olives, and vegetables along with some fruit. Kiwi is an interesting choice , because the fruit has a protein-eating enzyme that affects the way gelatin solidifies. Usually they contain prunes or raisins.

    Fucking hell, I thought those were mussels in between the olives and I had to check it online. It’s not. They’re oysters ! This is no mere crime, this is an aggravated assault. Post of the year.

      I like my oysters raw and alive with a bit of lemon, thank you very much. Now that I say it, it doesn’t sound any more appetizing though.

      It’s an aspic, which is like the savoury version of fruit and Jello. Even people who liked them would probably agree that the kiwi and oyster? do not belong. The rest is entirely believable as an aspic that people would have made and eaten in the US around the 1950s to 1970s. I’ve never tried one myself, but I think I’d prefer to keep it that way.

    What are the grey things that look like uncooked prawns on the top layer?
