I remember my maternal grandmother, back in the '60s, making aspics after watching Julia Child. She would spend HOURS getting hers "just right".. she was so proud of those aspics.. the fact that they came out just like J. C.'s !

Aspic is delicious when prepared in the French method....they don't know what "jello" is over there.

I have made her poached eggs in aspic and it was fun and delicious, and not that difficult. I am a cooking show addict and I really appreciate that she had the courage to make dishes that today would be considered too complicated. Now, every TV chef has dumbed down recipes so a child could make it...better. I don't need to watch a famous chef make a salad of cubed cheese, cubed cucumber, and cubed celery and top it with oil and vinegar, or make pasta with tomato sauce or macaroni and cheese. Anybody who doesn't know anything about cooking, probably isn't interested in cooking anyhow.

Modern cooking shows are honestly exhausting. Way too high energy and all show. Little to no learning or explaining and they definitely don't recite the recipes at any point.

I would eat this and love it. I probably won’t be making it because the rest of the family wouldn’t eat it. I do love aspics. I did one for a Downton Abbey dinner when a group of us gathered on Sunday nights to watch every episode and eat a beautiful dinner with all the proper table settings. The aspic was a hit. But we were all old then and even older now. Part of Julia’s appeal to me is the presentation of her finished dishes and the natural expectation of taking it to the table where people were going to sit down and eat together. And if you’ll notice, the portions were small and so were most of the waistlines. Even the plates were smaller. And if you must know, all the men gathered somewhere else on those nights and watched some awful TV program that aired at the same time. They came back just as we were finishing our evening and happily ate all the leftovers. They couldn’t have been cuter.

Love watching these videoes. I think a tomato aspic with chicken and veg sounds good. I did the creamed spinach and poached egg after that show. I enjoyed😊it so much it has been added to my menu selections. I justed remember being ask to bring the green salad to holidays. Boy, did I get tried of it. Anyway, it wasvthe cool whip, green jello with canned friut and nut. Certain young family LOVED it!

I can see a limited appeal for an aspic in certain dishes but what I think destroyed them was the godawful period of the late 50's and 60's when there were tons of jell-o molds and recipes for aspics that resulted in something that looked like it belonged in a very bad sci-fi movie from that period. Instead of duck people were making tuna salad, hot dog, spaghetti-o aspics and other atrocities and it gave the aspic a bad rap. I'd never seek an aspic out, there are a very few that are actually pretty presentations, and since I'm not scared of food I'd try one as long as it looked appetizing.

I didn’t not like the aspic, which uses gelatin. I prefer hladetina, which is made using the meats natural gelatin produced by boiling the meat and bones for hours. It jelly’s well and is one of my Serbian families favorite meals!

Ok...I can see the appeal. I can see how it could make for a creative and pretty presentation back in the 60s. It seems a lot of the recipes back then were about glamour and presentation, in a time when housewives had all day to put these dishes together. But oh so dated now. Sorry Julia but nothing can save or bring back cold meat-flavored jelly.
