I see these topics come up every so often, about horrible gelatin combos from decades past. The funny thing to me, is there are a lot of good foods, like aspics and terrines, that are similar in principle to these dishes. The issue here isn't so much a savory gelatin, but probably the convenience factor combined with a recipe written to appear simple and novel instead of tasty and informative. Plenty of more boring things ended up that way too (I remember plenty of things growing up that I didn't like, that I later found out could be done well with considerably more effort).

before, but just in case you haven't...much of it is decidedly regrettable.
