Or it is a part of "freeganism". Which is freaking priceless since the word is partially based, allegedly, on veganism.

Coffee jelly is pretty popular in Japan. I think it's an acquired taste, even though I love coffee; the jelly is not particularly sweet and recalls aspic (or that Chinese grass jelly) more than it does Jell-O. You pour cream (or a little pot of creamer) and liquid sugar over it, and it works. I've made my own batch at home with little time, effort, or caloric investment.



Starbucks Japan serves (served?) coffee jelly Frappuccinos which are unsettling the same way bubble tea can be. Nothing like enjoying a nice Frapp when suddenly THOCK coffee jelly in your mouth.

Yeah, but with them dead, you lose the delicious sub current of flavor a frisson of sheer fear and revulsion adds. It would be like, well, what would casa marzu be like if the maggots were dead?

I mean, are we talking artisanal or just over the counter crap here?

Mrs Mango read this and assumed that the full dinner menu was in in the aspic mold. Your choice of which juice was the basis for the gelatine.

Then the thought of doing it as a single large mold and the hostess asking "would you like a slice of Goo?" Was entirely too much.

On the off chance she accepts bribery in the form of old recipe cards:




quote:

1 1/2 lb. cleaned, cooked shrimp
1/4 cup butter
3 firm bananas
Salt
3 cups hot, cooked rice
2 cups Creole Sauce, below

Heat shrimp in the top of a double boiler over hot water. Melt butter in a large skillet. Peel bananas and cut crosswise into halves. Fry bananas in hot butter over low heat turning to brown evenly. Cook just until tender, or until easily pierced with a fork. Remove from heat; sprinkle lightly with salt and keep warm. Make a bed of rice on a large, heated platter; arrange bananas around edge and shrimp on top. Pour part of the sauce on top; serve remainder on the side.

Makes 6 servings.
CREOLE SAUCE


1 medium-size onion
1 medium-size green pepper
1/3 cup fat or cooking oil
1 clove garlic, peeled
1/4 tsp. chili powder
1 tsp. sugar
1 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
1 can (16 oz.) tomatoes
2 Tbsp. cornstarch
2 Tbsp. water

Chop the onion and green pepper. Heat fat in a skillet. Add garlic and next 5 ingredients. Cover and cook over low heat until tender but not brown, stirring occasionally. Continue cooking, covered, over low heat for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Mix water with cornstarch; stir into sauce. Cook 5 minutes longer; stir constantly until thick. Remove garlic. Makes about 2 cups.

Pairing small pastries with bananas was apparently a thing:

The bacon-bean dip is whatever, just dump it in the double-boiler.

I can see that. We have a significant East Asian population where I live so things like bubble tea are as normal for everyone as milkshakes and coffee.
