Hähnchen in Aspik (chicken in jelly) probably, one of the more questionable products when it comes to Wurst.
Abattoir refuse in aspic.
Sorry, but that’s the truth.
ultimate dad food

Looks like wet cat food. Not yummy…
Katzenfutter for Humans
Holadez
really love how he already ate the half of it before asking
Dog’s breakfast?
The clear jelly-like substance is aspic, which is mostly gelatin from meat stock. It’s been documented from around the 13th century — back in those days, people didn’t waste a single thing, and every part of an animal carcass was put to some use — but became particularly fashionable in the US and Europe in the 50s to 70s.
It’s actually very nutritious and a good source of certain vitamins. But after it became a fad about 60 years ago and cooks everywhere were [putting entire meals in aspic](https://vintagerecipecards.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/chicken-aspic-vegetable.jpg?w=640), it predictably fell out of fashion. Some boomers might see it as a comfort food from their childhood, for others it brings back childhood memories of terrible food; to younger generations it just seems bizarre and frankly slightly disgusting.
