I will never understand how anyone could come to thinking aspic was a good idea.

Interesting, I had never heard of this before.
I was immediately horrified, but it appears they date back to at least 1375 and predate fruit gelatin dishes, which makes sense considering gelatin is meat deprived. It also appears they were used for preservation, which... I guess you gotta do what you gotta do.
It being described as "essentially a gelatinous version of conventional soup." And "like ruby on the platter, set in a pearl ... steeped in saffron thus, like garnet it looks, vibrantly red, shimmering on silver" certainly piques my curiosity.
