It's been a long time since we've had an installment of the Ucky Food Chronicles.
If you've read or watched Pollyanna, you probably remember thinking What the...? whenever Mrs. Snow mentions calf's foot jelly.
Well, I've found a recipe, and it's not quite so foul-sounding as I was braced for. Basically, it's the next best thing to Jell-o. (News flash: even when it's packaged up all neat and pretty, gelatin still comes from boiling the collagen out of critters.)
Not sure whether I'll be able to find a real live batch of calf's foot jelly to try for myself, but let the record state that I'm game. Or maybe if I can figure out what the ratio of calves' feet to Knox gelatin packets is, I can stir up a vat myself. Either way, I'll keep you posted...

Don't you actually mean Andrew Zimmern? Are you referring to the "Bizarre Foods" guy or someone else?
*facepalm*
Oof. Yeah, that's exactly who I meant. (Fixed)
OK. I just wanted to make sure I was thinking of the right person.
