Is aspic an Ivy Anglo Trad delicacy?
A man at BB shoe department, he said that aspic is eaten before each meal, by the Ivy Anglo Trad.
I told him that I don;t know what aspic is, which surprised him greatly.
Looking at the grocery, and bodega I could not find any aspic, but I will search again tomorrow.

Hmmmmm -
I've heard of things being 'in Aspic', so maybe when you've eaten whatever those things are you can polish off the Aspic with a spoon too?
I don't think that I've ever knowingly come into contact with Aspic. It sounds nicely Victorian/Edwardian though.
I will ask around.

I noticed that the Amer/Trad thread has been locked....A fitting end, no doubt.

I guess those aspiring to the 'Fogey lifestyle' might like it. I suspect I might be sick.
I checked out AAAT. Cooley is on fire. Walks the walk, talks the talk.
And he's bang on the money. Good work.
But why lock every thread that starts to contain any discussion/debate?
Not my business, but the way to revive their forum is to encourage more of what Cooley is bringing to them over there.
That 'A.Squire' is all over the place again I see. He should be given his own forum as he really does have his own look going on. Probably he is the future of 'Trad'. I think that's only right.
... I'm kinda/sorta happy that they're leaving my Ivy style alone now I have to admit... Is that petty of me again? Let Ivy just be for those who love it without wanting popularity or social advancement in return.
Peace.

Lark's Tongues in Aspic is certainly a delicacy.

Re: Is aspic an Ivy Anglo Trad delicacy?
I like this idea much more.
What would be the most New England flavour?
Lime, because of the maritime connection?
Good to have this thread back on track.

according to the Beau Brummell book, oysters were the cheap fast food of the eighteenth century.
