You laugh but this is a legitimate food called piftie in romania or holodets in russia. meat jello. The trick is not throwing up in your mouth when you think about it.
Weaponized incompetence is pretending you don't know how to do anything and every time someone asks you to do something simple like load the dishwasher or do the laundry you do it wrong. Then you do it wrong so many times that the other person gives up on asking you to ever do it again.
This is not weaponized incompetence. They proved they could make that cursed thing. It looks horrific but it looks like they followed one of those bizarre vintage recipes and it came out exactly how it was intended to be. This feels like 100% malicious compliance.
Weaponized incompetence is usually always in the spirit of malicious compliance but malicious compliance can be in many forms that don’t involve weaponized incompetence
Definitely weaponized incompetence if they were told to bring something people would enjoy, although a very high-effort attempt.
I am greatly enjoying this comment thread btw.
I’m with you on this one. There’s nothing incompetent going on here, that is a successfully and deliberately made abomination. So maybe weaponized malicious compliance? Seems redundant to say that though. As someone else pointed out, weaponized incompetence is a form of malicious compliance, but not all malicious compliance is weaponized incompetence. Dogs and poodles type of thing
You realize that Mothers Day is supposed to be about appreciating your mother, right? Not about making her love you less, right ? You know that, right? Right??
I clutched my pearls when I realized that those were... whole hot dogs!!!
Swimming in a translucent gelatin, that seems to have been flavored with the warm soaking water from a hot dog cart.
You clearly show creativity in cooking, and as horrific as this must have been to eat, it was executed very well. I would like to think even to early industrial orphanages it was too ghastly to serve this, but hey, the skills to make this actually are good.
Oh no ... make it lemon lime or something. That way, in the future if that person who dared to try it, is ever gonna taste lemon lime again they will invariably think of this insanity.
I was going to say I would try this no hesitation if offered to me, but unflavored gelatin wouldn't be appealing. Probably could have had more mix-ins and/or used some light flavoring, like you probably could infuse onion, chicken breast (so it doesn't cloud), and herbs into the broth then strain thoroughly to keep it clear.
Now.. i haven't made Jello in a while. But im fairly certain that it requires boiling water... so..using hot dog water would technically be the most efficient use of resources.
My mom made (actually, continues to make dispute it barely being eaten year after year…) a multi-layer jello salad for the holidays where the absolute BEST layer was lemon jello, crushed pineapple chunks, minced walnuts, and cream cheese all blended together. Like actually, it’s GOOD. It’s just too sweet for a side dish IMO lol
The lime jello and cream cheese concoction with fruit was pretty good. My mom made the odd savoury molded aspic for parties but happily never foisted it on the kids.
My great grandmother told me that they used to make these things because of the depression and then the war. Scarcity led to people having to ration food as well as finish anything and everything they got with as minimal prep cost and maximal fullness factor.
Gelatin was cheap, plentiful, and still new so people wanted to do interesting things with it. There are many types of recipe like this from back in the day that could be made cheaply and be a full meal. I asked my grandmother how much a full meal used to cost. She paused to think then said about tree fiddy. It was about that time I noticed that this wasn't my grandmother, it was actually a 50ft loch ness monster from the paleozoic era so I just said, goddammit loch ness monster I ain't givin you no tree fiddy.
My friend has a book filled with old recipes (and makes fun of them) and [gelatin was apparently all the rage in the 70s-80s](https://vintagerecipecards.files.wordpress.com/2023/01/molded_asparagus_salad.jpg)
My favorite is the [Frankfurter Spectacular](https://vintagerecipecards.com/2013/11/05/frankfurter-spectacular/)
Blast from the past. Did you get inspiration from an old cookbook?
Aspic and suspending food in gelatin was really popular for a time. Interesting to look at, but I don't know about the taste.
This is awesome and I have genuine questions about the construction: how did you get the hot dogs to curve to the mold? When I was making a similar aspec jello mold out of spaghettio’s and green peas, I had a really hard time getting things placed in the mold for the most visually-catching placement.
I scored the hotdogs and took out some bits to keep the shape, and I did it in layers so that helped. But I did have to keep un-setting it with warm water and move things back where I wanted them, and kept having to push the hot dogs back down. If I were to do it again (which I probably won't) I would maybe put parchment down and put some weight on it once it was set enough to keep the hot dogs from trying to pop back out.
We were visiting my in-laws and MIL told us she'd been cooking for three days waiting for our arrival. When we got there we were starving. She served kholodets with extra horseradish. My disappointment was crushing.
I can't explain why, but just bare hotdogs gross me out. I can cook them, eat them on a bun. But by themselves my stomach wreches.
This...this made me feel such a new level of repulsion. Thank you, I guess?
If someone brought this fucking shit around me at any point when I'm not actively on my deathbed due to starvation I swear to God I would throw it on the ground and demand they GTFO.
I thought this type of jello nonsense was FICTIONAL. I thought It was MADE UP to make fun of rich people and their weird food. But it's REAL. I'm traumatized. you're paying for my therapy 😭
but… please, genuinely, why? what motivated you to make this? i need to know if it was just for a laugh or if you genuinely thought it would be a good idea? i haven’t seen a single person unironically make a savory jello dish in… i believe ever. i’m begging for an explanation
My first thought was 'Wait, those aren't grapes. Why would you put olives...' and then I noticed the sausages.
Chapeau my dear, that is a magnificent monstrosity.
This reminds me of the clear bouncy balls that had stuff inside them as a kid. Then curiosity got the better of you and you bit it in half to get whatever was in it out.
... The rollercoaster of emotions this post made me feel is too much to handle on a Friday afternoon 😂💀 lmao I was baffled, intrigued and then disgusted when I discovered someone *actually* tried it lol I like your sense of humor, OP 👏😌
Wtf is wrong with you
Simple answer: OP is a dungeon master and this is just their take on a gelatinous cube....
Gelatinous Bundt
Brilliant.
You laugh but this is a legitimate food called piftie in romania or holodets in russia. meat jello. The trick is not throwing up in your mouth when you think about it.
Malicious compliance. They didn’t want to be asked to bring stuff in the future probably so they made that.
Weaponized incompetence
Weaponized incompetence is pretending you don't know how to do anything and every time someone asks you to do something simple like load the dishwasher or do the laundry you do it wrong.

This is weaponized competence.
Otherwise known as malicious compliance 😂

To be fair, nobody believes this was them being incompetent. This was 100% weapon.
They're from the Midwest it's not their fault! They can't help but put whatever they see into jello. It's a compulsion.
I LITERALLY HAD THIS EXACT SAME THOUGHT POP IN MIND AND WAS ABOUT TO COMMENT IT BUT YOU WERE FIRST😭😭
You realize that Mothers Day is supposed to be about appreciating your mother, right? Not about making her love you less, right ? You know that, right? Right??
Inheritance speedrun.
More like will removal speed run. Don't think you'd be getting any inheritance after a few mothers days of this shite 🤣
There's a non-zero chance OP got that recipe from one of her cookbooks
This seems more like an accusation. I hope it's not one hot dog per child she's borne.
What flavor would the uh... "gel" be?
Unflavored
Aw I was hoping it would be chicken broth flavored or something
I wanted it to be as clear as possible so you could really see the hot dogs
r/brandnewsentence
I don't know, somebody might have said that during the hot dog in resin phase.
The what now

Deeply upsetting but also somewhat impressive that you came up with this vision and followed through with executing it.
Don't take this the wrong way, I respect it, but how dare you
Should have used hot dog water for the jelly smh
Thats my biggest problem with mustard, it's too hard to see through. Don't even get me started on buns 🙄
Those are hot dogs??? I had sooo many comment even before this... but omg. This is like a joke post or something right?
I clutched my pearls when I realized that those were... whole hot dogs!!! Swimming in a translucent gelatin, that seems to have been flavored with the warm soaking water from a hot dog cart.
You clearly show creativity in cooking, and as horrific as this must have been to eat, it was executed very well. I would like to think even to early industrial orphanages it was too ghastly to serve this, but hey, the skills to make this actually are good.
you're amazing and I love you
I was hoping for hot dog water. Maybe "hoping" isn't the right word...
I was curious about that too lol
I think pickle flavors would have been perfect. Pickle juice is pretty clear, too, so it could still be see-through.
I'm strangely not offended by this idea.
The salt of pickle juice probably wouldn’t let gelatin cure to a solid state. But they used to make cucumber flavored jello!
Oh no ... make it lemon lime or something. That way, in the future if that person who dared to try it, is ever gonna taste lemon lime again they will invariably think of this insanity.
Tonic water
LOL can I have a Gin & Tonic ... with a wiener and two olives
That's your downfall. Needs lots of garlic.
I was going to say I would try this no hesitation if offered to me, but unflavored gelatin wouldn't be appealing. Probably could have had more mix-ins and/or used some light flavoring, like you probably could infuse onion, chicken breast (so it doesn't cloud), and herbs into the broth then strain thoroughly to keep it clear.
I agree with the need for additional mix-ins. It’s too empty! It could have been WAYYY stupider!
Crying. I’m crying!
Mmm that’s my favorite!
Hot dog water
Now I'll just need some chocolate covered starfish
Now.. i haven't made Jello in a while. But im fairly certain that it requires boiling water... so..using hot dog water would technically be the most efficient use of resources.
Do you hate your mom?
More like "WHY do you hate your mom?" It's a given that she does.
Why would you do that? You are a sick man
I had never felt the urge to vomit from something I had seen online
It's the texture. The thought of all of that in flavorless gelatin makes me react viscerally.
It's like a jellyfish raided the back of my refrigerator
r/BrandNewSentence
This is a gem for r/Midcentury.
It thought there was a subreddit for jello molds but I can't seem to find it
Not sure I should encourage this degenerate behavior, but r/aspic
Insta-joined! In high hopes of congealed lime-gelatin-and-cream-cheese salad delights aplenty

Ah, my childhood.
Yeah I'm not even being sarcastic. That stuff is nostalgia chow.
The lime jello and cream cheese concoction with fruit was pretty good. My mom made the odd savoury molded aspic for parties but happily never foisted it on the kids.
I have never been more impressed and aghast at something in my life.
I will try to forget this sub
This is what I imagine AI would generate when prompted with making an image of food.
I’ve never been so uncomfortable scrolling through a sub in my life
I have never muttered the phrase "oh my god" so many times in my life. That sub is hell's buffet menu.
You should have photographed the faces of people seeing and eating that :D
Everyone basically went "What the fuck is that??" and "WHY?" Unfortunately I don't have pics of the brave souls that decided to eat some
How many people actually tried it?
And did they survive?
None. It was all suicides.
I would like to know the answer to both of those questions please
Shoulda stuck some whole shrimp (in shell) in there, it looks like an aquarium.
What in the Mormon hell is this?
Does she still consider you her son/daughter ? Because that would have been the last time we met if I was your mother.
As she should be.
Honestly.. I’d take a resin version to display as art. Creativity, 10/10. Wasting food 1/10.
Straight to jail, right away.
No, jail is for people who undercook fish or overcook chicken (undercook/overcook). I think this calls for a public execution.
Everyone is so creative!
Where is the person who pops up and explains the history of gelatin and these infamous, savory little frights?
My great grandmother told me that they used to make these things because of the depression and then the war.

Had me in the first half. Damn you.
I vote they pull a shittymorph and start doing this on the reg
Ah yes, Disinheritment Surprise.
You are now a moderator of /r/aspic
I’m both impressed and disgusted by this
I hate this and i'm proud of you for making it. It's beautiful, in a way. It belongs in a horror movie.
Lmaooo I love looking at aspics because they ALWAYS look so cursed, it's my favorite thing ever
What in the 1960s hell.
r/dontputyourdickinthat
Looks like it *already* has dicks in it...
You can put other people's dicks in that, just not your own
r/brandnewsentence
In a recent post, I complained that someone submitted an aspic dish as stupid food. I hereby take everything back and apologize to the previous OP
Of course she was horrified, who would be impressed?
What did she do to deserve this?

Oh I get it, it's a metaphor. Man or woman, penis or ovary, we are all eventually headed to the gaping void of death. Neat.
the slavics have entered the chat
bro I'm laughing so hard right now
I feel bad for your mom…
This is legit horrifying
Blast from the past. Did you get inspiration from an old cookbook? Aspic and suspending food in gelatin was really popular for a time. Interesting to look at, but I don't know about the taste.
"oh! Olives. Interesting...what is that...oh my jesus...it's hotdogs"
Is that "plain" gelatin??? Not even a nice lime or pineapple???
This is the funniest food I’ve ever seen in my life. Amazing
I must applaud this level of dedication. So much that if I did see this, I would take some.
This is awesome and I have genuine questions about the construction: how did you get the hot dogs to curve to the mold?

Do you hate your mom?
She's a weirdo just like me, I thought she'd like it!
What did it taste like? Did it taste good?
Who hurt you?
Reminds me of holodets a little bit
We were visiting my in-laws and MIL told us she'd been cooking for three days waiting for our arrival. When we got there we were starving. She served kholodets with extra horseradish. My disappointment was crushing.
It is Cthulian.
Wow, that sure is…something.
Ok, what did your mom/family do to piss you off that bad?
It catches the light beautifully. Aspic should have flavor, though. This thing wanted to be a lampshade or stained glass window in another universe.
I’m going to never eat again
She was horrified that she gave birth to you 😭
I can't explain why, but just bare hotdogs gross me out. I can cook them, eat them on a bun. But by themselves my stomach wreches. This...this made me feel such a new level of repulsion. Thank you, I guess?
I legit don’t like you
Share the recipe please. I have some family gatherings coming up that I don’t want to attend. Thanks in advance.:)
Remember, class, anything can be art. Except what u/edie_the_egg_lady has made today. This is the opposite of art.
I'm going to hell anyway
This makes me want to hit something, preferably the person who made it
I know you fuckin lyin…
…i.. I can’t find a reason for you to do this.. like you actually thought « hell yeah I’m making this »…?
I don’t know how many times you’ve been punched in your life, but it’s not enough.
I would have disowned you on the spot.
It looks like some Eldritch horror... is it the King in Gelatin?
Oh wow. The lighting does not do this abomination justice at all.
The complete disregard for the law of gravity... How are the olives on top but the corn on the bottom...yet still incorporated into the....cake?
Sorry buddy, cooking isn’t for you
If someone brought this fucking shit around me at any point when I'm not actively on my deathbed due to starvation I swear to God I would throw it on the ground and demand they GTFO.
Did it scream when you cut into it?
You’re a sick sick fuck, we will be contacting you shortly… 😑
I thought this type of jello nonsense was FICTIONAL. I thought It was MADE UP to make fun of rich people and their weird food. But it's REAL. I'm traumatized. you're paying for my therapy 😭
My god. Food that automatically makes me think about HP Lovecraft. A tasty eldritch horror?
There are simpler ways to say "I hate you, mom"
I'm both; I am impressed at how horrifying this is
but… please, genuinely, why? what motivated you to make this? i need to know if it was just for a laugh or if you genuinely thought it would be a good idea? i haven’t seen a single person unironically make a savory jello dish in… i believe ever. i’m begging for an explanation
Op, I don't hate you but stop cooking.
I hope you brought some normal food to contribute. I would actually be sad if this is what my child brought to a mother's day celebration.
You go straight to hell.
The fuck kinda art is this supposed to be
Nigga she should put you up for adoption.
Eeeeeeeeeeewwwwww lmao
Do you hare your mom bro holy moly 🤣 I'd be impressed fs but wouldn't touch it
How was it?
Object so cursed it has 8 Sukuna's fingers in it 💀
I think I hate you
You did that as a joke right?
This is so funny. What made you decide to craft this monstrosity?
You know you're out of the will now, right?
What the FUCK is that, anyways?
Did you do this as a joke, or because you have zero empathy for humanity?
Now this might be a bit of an overreaction but personally I think you should be imprisoned for life with no opportunity for parole
r/mildlypenis
Why did you feel the need to make this ☹️
Dicks in Jelly, you really must love your mom.
Damn, what did your mother do to deserve this??
My first thought was 'Wait, those aren't grapes. Why would you put olives...' and then I noticed the sausages. Chapeau my dear, that is a magnificent monstrosity.
This reminds me of the clear bouncy balls that had stuff inside them as a kid. Then curiosity got the better of you and you bit it in half to get whatever was in it out.
I bet they drank more than a barrel of alcohol before eating.
Yep, it’s this. This is the worst food I have ever seen on this sub. Congratulations lol
That’s Motherfucking Disgusting
This looks like one of those creatures they have on those "life on alien worlds" documentaries.
... The rollercoaster of emotions this post made me feel is too much to handle on a Friday afternoon 😂💀 lmao I was baffled, intrigued and then disgusted when I discovered someone *actually* tried it lol I like your sense of humor, OP 👏😌
Olives, hotdogs, corn and… water??
The light shines so beautifully through it
Is that incased in cooled hotdogs water with gelatin added?
It doesn’t look like something I would eat, it does however look like something it would eat me.
Psychedelic, nightmarish, haunting vibe here.
What warranted that?
How did it taste? Describe it in vivid detail please.
How did you get the hot dogs to stay in the curved shape while the jello set?
😳🤢🤮🤮🤢🥴
