So do I understand cirrectly that this gelatine enables you to take any broth/soup and turn it into a cake?

    They were all called "salads" for some obscene reason, but yes.

    It was because aspics were meant to 'contain' stuff, not just be gross, savory Jell-O. Like, a traditional aspic salad would have various fruits suspended in it.

    I think when gelatin became common in grocery stores, people were just all about the novelty. If you read cookbooks from the 50s that have these recipes in them, you see a commonality — people were just chuffed as chips that they could make a cake that jiggles lol.
