9:40 "piftie", is named also "răcitură" in Romanian Moldavia. That "jello" is so tasty because is made by boiling the bones. So, basically is a thick soup, an over-boiled soup of bones. All the taste is getting out from bones, that's why is so good. :) Very thick soup, in the winter's cold = "jello". :)

I'm guessing you haven't tried original "tochitura" (- translation is something similar to melted) . It's done like this: You put pieces of really fresh pig meat and pieces of the pig fat , maybe some smoked home-made sausage and slices of liver into a big iron cauldron pour some white or rose dry wine and salt and just let it boil for some time in the wine and melted fat, stirring it from time to time, when it's done serve it with some "mamaliga" (polenta) and "branza de burduf" (sheep fermented cheese), it is literally the best thing ever.

Piftia is like a jelly: mostly pork made, very garliclly but it's also made from chicken or, as this guy said turkey, basically is any meaty bone food that can give you a jelly (high gelatine content), meat added! So let's say headcheese is an example even though is not really a piftia but it's close to the idea.(in headcheese bones are removed, it's not so condimented and pork is the source!) Or as an italian chef said: best thing that you can do out of pork! And as usual, Romanians do it as a delicacy! Only for Holidays!
