| Aspic () is a savoury gelatin made with a meat stock or broth, set in a mold to encase other ingredients. These often include pieces of meat, seafood, vegetable, or eggs. Aspic is also sometimes referred to as aspic gelée or aspic jelly. Aspic is essentially a gelatinous version of conventional soup.
In the United States, similar dishes include jello salads, which are sweet and made using commercial gelatin mixes instead of meat stock or consommé. Elsewhere around the world, similar non-savoury dishes are often called gelatin salads. A meat jelly that includes cream is called a chaudfroid. |
