Nancy H. Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 I am still cleaning out the cupboards and found two packages of Knox Gelatine. I don't know what I would use it for on the W30 program, but I wonder if it is compliant or should I throw it out. If it is compliant does anyone have any suggestions on what to use it for?

Phanniemae Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 Practical Paleo has a recipe in it for herbal tea gelatin cubes. I made it using knox gelatin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homerfrizzell Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 Nancy, what would you ordinarily use gelatin for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quotidianlight Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 I use it for Aspice. It's a an old dish the kids call it meat jello. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nancy H. Posted September 22, 2012 Author Share Posted September 22, 2012 Thanks.....I used to use it to make jello cubes. But that is out and meat jello does not sound so good. So I think I'll throw it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quotidianlight Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 You'd be surprised. It's a simple gourmet dish from the middle Ages and really pretty. The broth makes up the jelly part and inside you suspend meat and veggies. Julia child had a couple great recipes. Yummy, but weird bitting into jello and tasting savory instead of sweet.

Susan W Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Blech on the aspic. I lived in England for a year after High School and I was treated to it twice. Just never liked it at all, but I also have NEVER liked sweet Jello either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homerfrizzell Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 quotidianlight, what do you suspend in it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quotidianlight Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Slices or chunks of meat, veggies, and fresh herbs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joey Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 I second the herbal tea gelatin cubes, or mixed with fruit and water. Sometimes I make it with coconut milk and pumpkin pie-esque spices. I've heard of other people on gut healing regimens just drinking their gelatin in their tea, but so far I haven't done that. While I prefer Great Lakes to Knox, I see no reason to throw it out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan W Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Thinking I may want to try this again. You guys are making it sound good. Anything Julia made/liked had to have been worth trying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xandra Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 The coconut milk version sounds pretty good. If I didn't throw out my gelatin already, I'm going to try that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladunn Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 So I'm gathering the consensus is that gelatin is okay?? I use Great Lakes Unflavored (oraganic and from grass-fed beef). I usually blend it in my coffee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpinSpin Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 my grandmother used to make a jello salad with tomato flavored gelatin. she would put all sorts of chopped up raw veg in it and serve it on lettuce leaves topped with mayo. Haven't had it since the late 70's but it was one of my favorite childhood items. She also did curried shrimp (yum!) and chicken livers with mushrooms in sour cream. 2 more favorites!

ladunn Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 The gelatin seems to make the coffee creamier. I don't enjoy the taste of it just disolved in warm water and putting in my coffee is an easy way to get a Tbl into my diet every day. Gelatin has a ton of health benefits, and I don't get much naturally in my diet because I haven't gotten into the habit of making and consuming bone broth on a regular basis. (It's good for nail & hair growth, joint development & recovery, a good source of collagen, and is a digestive aid). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moxamoll Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 I'm still not sure if gelatin is allowed or not?? On another thread, a user posted this chart which says that gelatin ALWAYS has MSG. However, I buy my gelatin from Great Lakes and they say it has no MSG. My organic chemistry classes are too far behind me to sort this one out. I'd love to keep using though, so can anyone give a definitive answer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrsRobinson Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 I've been meaning to get some (Great Lakes green can) as I hear it also helps with skin elasticity. And I could use some of that. Sixty four pounds down and strange things are afoot on this body of mine. Strange things indeed. And I have a long way to go so it is bound to get weirder.
