Ukrainian Aspic
In the 1950s, Jello-molded food was all the rage due to their neat and tidy appearance. Some countries have kept the tradition of food dishes encased in gelatin, such as the Ukrainian aspic.
Pork and chicken legs are boiled with vegetables much like they would be to make stock. However, the broth is separated and then poured on top of pieces of meat and vegetables in a mold or Pyrex dish.
After refrigerating overnight, the fat will have solidified leaving the dish encased in gelatin.
