This recipe will cure your fear of aspic once and for all Allison Robicelli Welcome to ’s holiday celebration of Jell-O, gelatin, and all things wiggly. We’ll be releasing new feature stories and original holiday recipes every day this week, and each of them will have a little bit of wobble. I have never once desired to eat aspic, because every picture I have ever seen of aspic has been legitimately gross.

I hoard midcentury cookbook images of aspics and molds like gelatinized pornography. I have photos of them displayed around my house.
