This is what I call "meat jello"--three different kinds. It's a delicacy here...and no one back home believes me. No, I've never eaten it.
The photo isn't great because I got shooed away after taking it (and pretending to delete it--I learned my lesson the very hard way about deleting forbidden photographs. I would give a lot to have back a photo I deleted at the orphanage of Lexi playing with her friend.). Why people are so paranoid about GROCERY STORES being photographed, I don't know. But most have signs up prohibiting photography. I didn't see a sign here, but the ban is in effect.
OH. MY. YUCK.
ReplyDeleteI think this is an English treat, too. My friend Olga loves this stuff, but admitted that they have to make it by rubbing the meat around in their hands - so, ick.
ReplyDeleteWhen I lived in NYC I saw a colorful looking group of protesters on the street and was snapping a photo when one of them saw me and I thought I was going to be the victim of violence there, for a while. My gentleman friend saved me by removing the film and giving it to them. I think they were basques protesting Spanish policies or something - I still can't quite figure out why they'd want to do whatever they were doing quite publicly, but be so adverse to having it photographed!
I didn't mind the dish that much. I guess I'm getting less picky, but I still don't enjoy liver.
ReplyDeleteI've grown really paranoid about taking photos in public in Russia. I was taking photos of an anti-terrorism poster at the university, and I wondered if they would alert the authorities that I was showing an interest in terrorism. So far, no militsia at my door.
I never saw this in England.
ReplyDeleteMy friend says to eat it over boiled potatoes...but I just can't. I am not a very adventurous eater.
What is it? It doesn't tempt me or make my mouth water.
ReplyDeleteTina, it's gelatin with meat and vegetables in it.
