The Verdict: It was sweet, fizzy and salty. It tasted like onion in lime gelatin with a fizzy aftertaste. I could be dramatic say it was wrong on so many levels, but the only level I was totally put off by was the freaking onion. Raw onion in gelatin is just “no” for me. I’ve never been able to get over it. Tom suggested that the olives were essential to make it edible. Most party guests were just scared of it. Other party guests loved it. It was completely eaten by the rest of the night (whatever hadn’t turned into a pile of melted lime-onion goo), so they must have been telling the truth. I couldn’t taste the “good” part, but I’m not a big fan of onion. Maybe if I loved onion as much as I love…let’s say, pickles, maybe it would have been better. So I guess if you make this one depends on how much you like onion. And how much you like the smell of onion and lime-gelatin sticking to your hands.
Looks like something Mr Burns would get for his party.
You know what sounds like a word that describes something you want to put in your mouth?!?
Not “aspic.”
Nearly made me sick just looking at the picture and reading the title 🤢
This might be the least cursed headcheese ever, despite the crazy ingredient list.
I don’t know what a headcheese is, and based on your sentence, I don’t want to.
You’re right, you don’t.
It’s even worse than you think.
Hear me out - add a bunch of avocado to this, and you’d have a gelatin cheesy guacamole dip. Might be a bit on the sweet side, but this may not be irredeemable.
Alright but if I have onion, lime, and avocado and I want a dip, why would I not just make guac instead
what benefit does the gelatin bring to this?
Nothing, frankly. We’re working around it at best.
