Daxian Aspic: Difference between revisions

'''Corummese Aspic''' is a food dish in which varied ingredients are set into gelatin, usually made from commercial gelatin mixes. Most types of food can be used for Aspic dishes such as meat, vegetables fruits and even fish. The origin of [[Corumm]]'s aspic food is its prison system but it has spread to the lower echelons of society hence it is disdainfully called 'trash food' by the upper classes.

==Origins==

The invention of the greatly reviled aspic is attributed to Qiao Yun, Vice Warden of [[Mirzak]]'s central prison. Following the Party's 1995 directive to bring down incarceration costs, he sought a way to save on food consumption and make prisoners more compliant by reducing their caloric intake. He found the solution in one of his favorite desserts, jello. By combining the power and versatility of powdered gelatin with other food, visually appealing and stomach filling dishes could be created. The fact that the prisoners diet was now fifty percent gelatin, with dangerously low nutritional and caloric value, was hailed as a true innovation that would also help keep prisoners lethargic and bring down violence levels inside the prisons.
