"Aspic is a dish in which ingredients are set into a gelatin made from a meat stock or consomm\u00E9. Non-savory dishes, often made with commercial gelatin mixes without stock or consomm\u00E9, are usually called gelatin salads.When cooled, stock that is made from meat congeals because of the natural gelatin found in the meat. The stock can be clarified with egg whites, and then filled and flavored just before the aspic sets. Almost any type of food can be set into aspics."@en . . .
