• I’ve added a casual chat room to CookingBites as a place for off-topic banter, light conversation, and short-lived chit-chat that doesn’t belong in forum threads. The chat room is informal and lightly-to-not moderated, with messages being temporary, so it’s ideal for friendly back-and-forth that would otherwise derail discussions. Site rules still apply, but there’s no reporting system or expectation of post-by-post moderation - if something becomes uncomfortable, the right response is to step away. If a topic has substance or lasting value, it still belongs in the forums; everything else can head to chat.

In another thread, eggs in jelly were mentioned - I can't find the link at the moment. A few members thought it sounded horrible - but it is a classic if somewhat old fashioned French dish. As I love eggs I thought I'd try it. This is first attempt. I could do better, I think, but it did taste good. The jelly is flavoured with tarragon (water simmered with fresh tarragon used to make the jelly). The base of the mould has jelly added with a sprig of tarragon and then allowed to set before adding the hard-boiled egg and remainder of the jelly and a few more tarragon leaves.

The possibilities are endless - smoked salmon - salmon eggs, different herbs or vegetables as well as the egg. My son suggested an egg with a runny yolk but I wasn't sure that would be right with the jelly.

They most assuredly are. This is something someone posted on the cooking site at my work that I administer. It might look scary, but I'll bet it's tasty.

Yours looks a lot better, by the way. :laugh:

I would ask if that was a certain nickname for good ole country boy's equivalent of a crown pork loin roast, but that would be totally politically incorrect. Yes, it is scary looking.
