Re: Jell-O Meat or not?
I would be more likely to call gelatin a meat by-product than meat. There is no actual meat in it, it's just made from an animal.

You can get gelatin that is not made from animal by products. We buy special jello for the kids because 99% of the time gelatin is made from pigs...

Pectin is very similar to gelatin but it comes from plants and fruits, like apples!

OK! So maybe gelatin comes from animals, but that doesn't mean that it is a meat product. It's like saying that we can't wear anything with wool in it 'cause it comes from sheep.

If coffee beans placed into a cup and then dissolved along with water and/or milk and sugar is called coffee, then congealed meat stock can be meat, making stock is pretty much the same process..
Although you can also make meat jello from soup, so maybe in that instance it would still be soup?

Re: Jell-O Meat or not?
The flaw in your argumentation is that jelatine is made of bones, not meat.
So eating jello would be like eating bones.

Re: Jell-O Meat or not?
I never actually thought it was the bones that created the stock, just the bit of fat and meat that are still attatched you weren't able to cut/scrape off and serve, which is why the bones are chucked in a pan and simmered - to get the last little bits off them?

Re: Jell-O Meat or not?
Because it's the bones that contain the gelatine. And the skin and to be honest, other tissue, but mostly the bones. Gelatine is the collagen in the tissue. It is broken down by boiling it for some time (quite some time), let it cool down, take the fat off and then clear it. I can get the recipe for you if you want to.
Stock has nothing to do with it.

Aspic forms on stock made from meats after is cools down. Very similar to gelatine.
