Porkleg jelly

According to the books of culinary experts: jelly is a dish of Russian cuisine, cooked from cow's legs, head, it is written about this in “Domostroi”. Aspic is a Ukrainian dish prepared from pork.

Chicken is called differently: “cold”, “jelly”, and it depends on the place where it is cooked. Jelly and jelly, in general, the same thing. Basically jelly is called jelly in the northern and northwestern regions, while in the south and southeast the dish is often called jelly. Sometimes the name “jelly” is applied to a dish made from pork or pork beef broth to distinguish it from a dish made exclusively from beef.

There are national varieties of brawn, for example, the Georgian dish of husbands, Moldavian roast jelly - resol, French galantine. In Poland, jelly is 'galareta', in Ukraine - “kholodets”, “drigli”, in Latvia - “galerts”, in Romania - “piftie” or “rǎcituri”. Interestingly, from the German word Sülze (jelly) comes the Russian “brawn”, which is no longer a kholoditsa, but a separate dish. Do not confuse jelly with jellied, as jellied dishes are prepared using gel-forming substances, such as gelatin and agar-agar, and traditional jelly should freeze without adding gelatin. Moreover, adding gelatin is considered a sign of bad taste.
