The invention of 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. | The invention of aspic is attributed to Qiao Yun, Vice Warden of Mirzak's central prison.
