The renaissance of English jelly.
April 23, 2009

That is probably one of my more bizarre blog titles. There’s a company in London called Bompas and Parr who create bespoke Jelly moulds. They write that English Jelly is enjoying a renaissance across the country thanks to the slow food movement and molecular gastronomers (blimey say that 10 times fast!). Apparently the victorians used jelly as centrepieces – I’ve always used it as a vehicle for vodka myself but there you go. I love that all the old school things are staging a comeback. Spectacular imagery.
Found via Wee Birdy – an Aussie blogger in London.

There is definitely a jelly trend thing emerging…kids from the 70s who hoovered up jello are now spiking jellies with all manner of spirits in adulthood. I made a mojito-with-lime green-jelly-with-mint and it worked crazily well.

Oh I LOVE the sound of mojito-with-lime!
