I get grossed out....
« on: January 04, 2005, 01:02:17 PM »
by the information overload on food labels here.

For instance, my favorite sweets, pink shrimps, i just noticed are made with pork gelitain.

i would have been much happier not knowing that!  just say gelitain and i'll not think about it! ikk!

and it turns out my lunch i'm eating has it in it too.

Ikk ikk ikk.    :P

Small, but wheni read that and then eat it, i get grossed out.

Gelatin is always from pig or cow hooves.  It turns up in so many things, including some brands of yoghurt, biscuits, sweets.

I remember reading the ingredients for a Dolly Madison cake a few years ago and being shocked that it "may" contain beef fat!!

As I was a vegetarian at the time, I gave up Dolly Madison cakes.  :-\\\\

he he he. luckily for you most jams (that is what jello is in "English" isn't it?)  use pectin rather than gelatin

Don't worry, I'm sure they scrub them well before adding them to your food. Nothing but clean toenails!!   ;)

now i'm confused. the stuff you spread on bread is jam and doesn't usually have gelatin (in the uk); the stuff that wobbles about it jelly and that usually is gelatin.
