(sorry for bad english, i wrote through a translator) Hello, I'm from Russia, and Kholodets is one of our main dishes for the winter holidays. It is mainly cooked during New Year's Eve and served with other New Year's Dishes such as "Olivier" salad (Russian potato salad) and "herring under fur coat" that you have already cooked. It's great that you convey all the recipes so accurately, because we really eat Kholodets with black bread and mustard. For many, Kholodets looks strange and not appetizing, but believe me, if it is cooked correctly, it tastes simply divine. This is a pure taste of meat and meat broth, which is emphasized by spicy mustard ... I would even say that this is the most meat dish of all, especially if it is made with beef.

[@user-a7x6j6w6u]

Kholodets is an awesome dish-coming from an American man that deeply loves Slavic culture. You cannot have it without the mustard, it is like having fried chicken without beer.

That was different, because that was fucking weird and inexplicable. If this was a recipe from 1950s America, it *wouldn't* involve stripping the meat from the hocks and feet, then cooking the meat again into its own gelatin, they'd instead cook them exactly once, not strip them, and then just pitch them into a pre-made mix of gelatin and call it done. I'm really glad they went past that obsession, because it was just very weird and unappealing. Sure, it had a good shelf life, but most people wouldn't be that excited to eat a salad with eggs and shrimp encased in jelly.

[@mishtrong]

Ok. I did some research and experiments. The thing that makes jelly jelly is called collagen. It is mainly found in connective tissue, tendons and bones. You can increase the collagen in your jelly by boiling water out (increase boiling time and let steam escape) or by adding collagen. I advise you to try adding chicken wings. They contain a lot of collagen and relatively cheap. You can start with 500 grams per litre. Bones with marrow are also good. Beef shank will add nice flavour while bone in the center will give collagen. Also increase the time of boiling. At least 4 hours or more. It will extract more collagen.

[@mishtrong]

Also cool ot in the fridge. Some jellies do not set at room temperature. This jelly is actually a great soup or boulion foundation. Just heat it up, add some noodles (ramen, pho bo, ets.), add chives on top and you've got a delicious noodle bowl.

Before you coock this - please read! I am Russian. Boris forgot to say very important points. 1. This is a gourmet dish. Delicatessen. If you have never ate it before, it is very likely that you may not like it. 2. This dish is not usually in American or European cuisine. If you decide to feed someone, first you must tell the story of this dish. In Europe and America, jelly is usually considered a dessert. 3. This is an ancient Russian dish. Therefore, the recipe is so complicated. Not because it is very popular and everyone loves it. Simply in those ancient times, it was necessary to do something with the legs, knees and heads of pigs. 4. This dish is always served with hot mustard or ноt horseradish sauce (I do not know how to correctly translate ..). May be that these sauces are not sold in the west, the main thing that the sauce was ноt, about as tabasco. And always as a snack to a strong drink. It is cut into flat cubes, approximately 2x2-4x4 centimeters. Each cube is a snack for one shot of a strong drink. Ideally if it's vodka And yes I love it if it is properly cooked) Do you still want to cook it?

[@MrGedem]

5. Horseradish sauce is crucial. And it must be really strong horseradish sauce. 6. It's better to scrape white fat from the top of cold holodets.

BORIS I am Brian from US, I have binged ever one of your videos and the cooking has helped me learn well... How to cook. I made kompot and your channel is perfect however you want to make it don't change!!! Or do, whatever you want to do ill be supporting the king of slav

[@Salad_lad_4_hire]

Netroix misspell, im a proud American and take pride in viking blood. Slav is for the Slavs I'm for me

[@mateokg7099]

Brian B Be whatever you want... You dont have to be slav to do things we do...Do what you feel like, if you feel like doing slav stuff, do it.

[@alvaeriksson3623]

Netroix culture doesn't equal ethnicity and you can't become a culture? Slav is an ethnicity not a culture. If you want to live like Slavic people do (aka being part of Slavic culture) it not the same thing as pretending you're a slav just like living in Japan and enjoying Japanese culture isn't the same thing as being a weeb. You can't of course be slav if you weren't born in slav country but you can still move to one and live like real Slavs do.

[@Salad_lad_4_hire]

Alva Eriksson i appreciate it but if hes of Slavic culture its only appropriate he takes pride in it from people who are not actually slavic claiming to be so. I made a small misspell swing i was the king of Slavs. I would be the same way if someone tried to say they were American and were not. But it is much appreciated truly 👍

[@gryaznygreeb]

Leszek Baron Under a trailer I once lived in in southwest texas, we had at least a dozen ferals that we ignored bc they hissed at us, and over a few years 4 stray cats wandered by that we took in. We lived in the middle of ranch lands, so nothing for a mile in each direction besides oil rigs. We also took one of the ferals and tamed it and we still have him, he's a really good cat. We also took in another feral kitten after moving into a small town, and we see a lot all over. Tl;dr in every country there are places filled to the brim with cats, and people feed them and care for them, which makes the number of cats increase even more.

It's cheap and very common and tasty dish, served often with vinegar (Polish ocet) and pepper on it.

In Lithuania it is called Šaltiena (meat of cold). My grandparents used to rise pigs, and Šaltiena was not as much as fancy dish for us, but a way to use low grade meat, ears, cartilages and etc. The principle was not to be wasteful and extract as much as possible from the slaughtered pig.
