So it's a very confusing cooking background I have!!<BR/><BR/>Katy- that's a great way to think of it, a bloody mary jello! I may try that next time I try to convince people how good it is! Thanks.<BR/><BR/>Sydney- Ooh, you should try it. I'm glad I finally wrote about it b/c it's a classic Southern recipe that not many people know about it, but I hope to start the tomato aspic resurgence!<BR/><BR/>Ellen- sad, maligned tomato aspic. It's a bit of an acquired taste but I love it and think it's at least worth a try. Besides, it's part of your heritage!<BR/><BR/>Judy- another interesting variation! I think some Southern purists would not approve of the gazpacho idea, but I think it sounds lovely! Do you use any other seasonings like worcestershire, lemon or red pepper? I find those sweet-sour-spice seasonings are what really make the aspic.Mercedeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00097330009175643958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5262628558438346351.post-49532422626364691462007-12-23T19:44:00.000-05:002007-12-23T19:44:00.000-05:00The first time I ate tomato aspic it was called ge...The first time I ate tomato aspic it was called gelled gazpacho, a much more appealing name. I'm making a tomato aspic as I write. Mine includes some cucumber, a yellow sweet pepper and celery. There are many tasty possibilities.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03667762789256949559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5262628558438346351.post-83321721539826348322007-12-22T12:17:00.000-05:002007-12-22T12:17:00.000-05:00have always heard of it in disparaging terms (my m...have always heard of it in disparaging terms (my mother's family was from the South but they moved to California when she was little, and there was always sort of a clash in food sensibilities between my mother & grandparents)...but now I'm curious to try it.
