I had to laugh today, remembering a relative's tomato aspic.
She was a lovely person but I really disliked that stuff. Served with a pat of butter. Gag. Served as the first course.

I saw pictures of aspic as a teenager and just couldn't!!!!!
Just the idea of spec and "chipped beef on toast" both made me green!!!

Noooo thank you! Just looking at those concoctions triggers my gag reflex.

Oh my that brings back memories of my Aunt Mag. I think there was a time that tomato aspic was considered " fancy ," and she would often serve it for dinner. I don't remember anyone enjoying it , and I wouldn't touch it. Tomato aspic and a relish tray would always be at Mags table.

I remember seeing pictures of aspic, but fortunately my family never made it!

I just saw a menu for tomato aspic with sliced hard boiled eggs and asparagus. Well, no.

I love tomatoes, tomato sauce, use to enjoy tomato juice and V-8 juice, in addition to dishes with marinara sauce, but aspic never appealed to me. I've never eaten it and likely never will.

As a teenager, in old textbooks, I saw pictures from the 1940's and 1950's that had tomato aspic.
I can't take it when the V-8 juice around the bottle (or can) gets thick because of those pictures!!!

@Sweetbay magnolia I've had tomato aspic a time or two years ago. It was well doctored up with celery and veggies. Wasn't bad. What was the butter for?
