Er, probably a year ago? I make it occasionally as a snack, but I have to remember to get some from the grocery store. My husband also enjoys it, so when I do make some, it goes quickly.

My grandfather would make sheets of jello, it was his snack he’d feed us when we visited him!

Been a long time. Once I found out it was all bones and hooves and connective tissue, that kinda took the fun out of it.

Adincar ,

They make vegan jelly (or jello) nowadays, don’t feel like you can’t have fun any more!

Look up agar agar : it’s a gelatin substitute made from algae

Never. Had to Google what it even is. I had something similar once as a child.

The last time I made Jello I think I was like 22 or 23, so probably around 2004. I was at a party at my friend’s house that had fizzled down to about 5 people pretty early. That’s when someone had the great idea to make Jello shots… I prepared the Jello on the stove, but my friend Mary actually assembled the shots. She did not mention to anyone that she used Everclear and added almost double what the recipe called for. Anyway, she put them in the fridge and then promptly forgot about them… Until we ran out of beer. Then someone remembered. They weren’t completely set, which at the time we attributed to them not getting chilled long enough. In truth, there was so much pure alcohol in those shots that they wouldn’t have ever set even if we kept them in the freezer overnight! Assuming we were immortal, as drunk people in their early 20s tend to do, we heroicly downed about 4 of them each before we realized how strong they were… Most of the rest of that night is a blur of laughter, spinning lights, and eventually a soft couch and oblivion.

That was probably about the 2nd or 3rd most drunk I’ve ever been before or since, and definitely top 5 worst hangovers lol

For the record I do not drink anymore

Sounds familiar, only that we went for some bottom shelf vodka. I believe I was 21, was at the very end of my bachelor’s degree. Probably around July/August 2005.

Last week, used a package over a cake. Poke Cake.

Jello as dessert? When I was 15 for a school project. Jello as a shot? Probably annually

GluWu ,

I was wondering why I can remember buying jello, but not consuming it.

hperrin ,

Do you have kids?

Alpha71 OP ,

Newp!

LostWanderer ,

It’s been years since I’ve prepared Jello for consumption at home! I like Jello, but only occasionally eat it when I’ve got a craving.

I'm about middle age and don't believe I have ever made it, even as a child. I have had it, and would consider eating more if it wasn't available in such atrocious colors with false flavorings.

It is currently 85*F in my house and something like jello sounds nice right now as I contemplate what I will cook for dinner haha.

I have a family tradition of making rainbow jello for Easter. Each color layer gets a thin layer of sweetened condensed milk jello in between to make the colors really pop when it is sliced. It’s so pretty. It takes all day. It’s one of my favorite things about Easter.

I also make it pretty regularly because I eat gelatin as a nutritional supplement that does seem to help my joint pain a bit. For that I use unflavored fish and beef gelatin and mix it with tart cherry juice in pint jars and chill it or mix it with hot tea or chicken broth.

Wow your second paragraph may have just solved my jello resistance, thanks! You almost lost me at fish and beef tho 😅

I_Fart_Glitter ,

Ha. Sorry. For beginners using unflavored gelatin I would recommend the Knox brand packets that are sold next to the regular Jello boxes. They are highly refined and don’t have any um… surprising smells… ? The big 2lb jars of unflavored supplement gelatin can be a bit strong when you first add boiling water, but it goes away entirely once it is set in the fridge or dissolved in tea. I could see that putting someone entirely off jello if they were already iffy.

My very favorite is mulberry juice jello, but the only place that sold mulberry juice near me stopped carrying it a couple years back. It’s on amazon, but I can’t bring myself to buy juice on amazon. Tart cherry is a good sub. www.amazon.com/…/B00J49VLMO/

Thanks! I was a little nervous at the thought of beef jello but I'll try the Knox brand first. Two pounds sounds like a lot but what do I know? I'm gonna try coconut 😋

grue ,

I was a little nervous at the thought of beef jello

Ever had any braised beef dish? Or a really good beef soup?

rhythmisaprancer ,
@rhythmisaprancer@moist.catsweat.com avatar

You know, now that you mention it, I have had some kind of gelatinous fish preparation, and it was pretty good! I didn't eat it cold, but I do eat cold fish. I'm not sure about braised beef ( very likely) and I have had beef stew if that counts?

grue ,

For that I use unflavored fish and beef gelatin

If that counts, then I made some just a couple days ago as a by-product of my carnitas.

I_Fart_Glitter ,

I make “chicken jello” for the cats on a weekly basis. It’s their favorite.

@KingThrillgore@lemmy.ml avatar

I make it at least once every two months when I make chicken soup (I use Adam Ragusea’s whole chicken recipe, the soup is like 90% gelatin)

@Boozilla@lemmy.world avatar

My grandmother made it all the time. My parents seldom made it. I have never made it. I associate it with hospitals and crappy school cafeterias.

I made parfait (or whatever the jello, whipped cream, walnuts and fruit thing is actually called) for a potluck at work once when I was 19. That was the last time I ever made Jello. I am now 39.

I’m more of a pudding guy.

Last year.

friend_of_satan ,

I’m mid 40’s and I literally just finished making jello with my elementary school aged daughter. We’re still waiting for it to solidify. Last time we did it a few weeks ago we used cold water and it solidified pretty quickly.
