We make Jell-O shots for every party. Rather than use standard gelatin, we use a gelatin made out of fish bones which works really well. Gin, lemon, elderflower, champagne flavors!
I made Jello late last year to eat while fasting for my colonoscopy. I'm 50. Sometimes I make it when someone in the house is sick.
Jello like jelly? The wobbly wobbly stuff you have with ice cream and the like?
I make it every few months to have with ice cream.
Wibble
Well, shit. It never occurred to me to try it with ice cream. Now I know what I'm doing when I get home!
And to answer OP, the last time I made jello was way back in my 20s, with copious amounts of booze in it.
I make it anytime someone in the house is sick. It's great for when you don't really feel like eating much and you need to stay hydrated.
Like a year ago
Probably not since I was less than 10. I'm almost 30 now. I should really make some Jell-O
Last week, used a package over a cake. Poke Cake.
It's been a while tbh now if it's pudding...
Two days ago!
Last year.
I'm about middle age and don't believe I have ever made it, even as a child. I have had it, and would consider eating more if it wasn't available in such atrocious colors with false flavorings.
It is currently 85*F in my house and something like jello sounds nice right now as I contemplate what I will cook for dinner haha.
I don't know what jello is. Is it just plain jelly? Regards, the non-american world (I assume)
Yeah it’s just a brand of jelly.
To make it more confusing they call jam jelly.
Never made it. My wife buys sugar free jello cups sometimes for dessert.
Can't stand the shit lol
Like a month ago. I made a jello chocolate fudge pudding pie with graham cracker crust and whipped cream. It was delicious.
When I got a colonoscopy a few months ago.
I think I remember making some in university. Probably with vodka. That was ... oh shit... years ago.
Er, probably a year ago? I make it occasionally as a snack, but I have to remember to get some from the grocery store. My husband also enjoys it, so when I do make some, it goes quickly.
My grandfather would make sheets of jello, it was his snack he'd feed us when we visited him!
It’s been years since I’ve prepared Jello for consumption at home! I like Jello, but only occasionally eat it when I’ve got a craving.
I don't even know what that is.
About 2 years
Never. Pudding, custard, and mousse, occasionally.
I never really liked that stuff, so I believe I never actually made any jello by myself. I really don't get why it's popular. It looks unedible and it tastes nothing but sweet. It's usually accompanied with pusdings or cakes which I would much rather waste some of my calorie budget on.
After learning the effects of food dyes, I haven't had jello in over a decade.
Does Jell-O use food dyes?
Yes, most Jell-O contains artificial colors, including red 40, yellow 5, and yellow 6, which are derived from petroleum and may have negative health effects. Some say that these dyes may promote cancer because they contain benzidine, a known carcinogen. Red 40 is also a common ingredient in candy, cereal, baked goods, gelatin powder, drugs, and cosmetics. Some say that side effects of red 40 include hyperactivity, behavioral changes, allergic reactions, hives, asthma, sneezing, watery eyes, skin irritation, and migraines.
