Pork Jelly

Pork jelly is an aspic made from low-grade cuts of pig meat, such as trotters, containing a significant proportion of connective tissue. Pork jelly is a popular appetizer and, nowadays, is sometimes prepared in a more modern version using lean meat, with or without pig leftovers which are substituted with store-bought gelatin. It is very popular in Poland (where it is called galareta) and Romania (piftie), in Hungary (kocsonya; can also refer to aspic of other meats) and Greece (where it is called pacha) during Christmas or Easter. The meat in pork pies is preserved using pork jelly.

Famous quotes containing the words pork and/or jelly:

    The pork sizzles and cries for fish. Luckily for the foolish race, and this particularly foolish generation of trout, the night shut down at last, not a little deepened by the dark side of Ktaadn, which, like a permanent shadow, reared itself from the eastern bank.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    It is always allowable to ask for artichoke jelly with your boiled venison; however there are houses where this is not supplied.
    Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)
