128 Blancmange, Jelly and other Jiggly Things

A BUSY WEEK!1st hooray - Women's Work - The Untold Story of America’s Female Farmershas its PBS Premier on September 26 on KSPS serving the Spokane, WA area!But seriously - let's talk about jelly.  Yeah - I definitey learned great disdain for Jell-O as I grew up - cheap and ceerful, and it seemed like tawdry empty calories.  The research for this episode showed me it has a long and proud history as an exclusive food that us moderns poorly understand.As an American I am incredibly suspicious of savory jellies.  I have been fooled into missing some good stuff.  How did it all go wrong?  This episode holds a few clues.Also - finally all those references to Blancmange in British English media will make sense to all us American English types.But in the meantime - check out my appearance on TodayFood.comAnd - keep your ears out for the crossover episode about the 1st Glass of Coca-Cola from History Daily and Wondery Music Credit: Fingerlympics by Doctor TurtleShow Notes: https://thehistoryofamericanfood.blogspot.com/Email: TheHistoryofAmericanFood at gmail dot com Threads: @THoAFoodInstagram: @THoAFood& some other socials... @THoAFoodMusic Credit: Fingerlympics by Doctor TurtleShow Notes: https://thehistoryofamericanfood.blogspot.com/Email: TheHistoryofAmericanFood at gmail dot comThreads: @THoAFoodInstagram: @THoAFood& some other socials... @THoAFood
