Gelatin dishes are culinary creations made using gelatin, a translucent, flavorless substance derived from collagen found in animal bones and skin. They are often used to create desserts like jell-o, as well as savory dishes such as aspics. The gelatin is dissolved in hot liquid and then cooled to set, resulting in a firm, wobbly texture. These dishes can be colorful and visually appealing, often incorporating fruits, vegetables, or other ingredients suspended within the gelatin. Gelatin is popular in many cuisines around the world and is valued for its ability to create unique textures and presentations in food.
