Gelatin from pigs

[Teleskop]

Perhaps if pigs would give us more useful things they would be more profitable to hatch,what if we could boil their cartilages/bones/whatever to get some sort of primitive gelatin we could use in recipes?
I saw some medieval jello made from milk and stuff on brainiac
We could also make this


Or some other more complicated recipes like cavebulb jello or anything
Or maybe a bone glue substitute?

Black pudding please

Now that we have jelly recipes using cave slimes, I think it would be cool to add a domestic source of gelatin. Then jelly could be a variable ingredient.

I think that gelatin is made by boiling bones and skimming it off the top and then concentrating it somehow. Maybe we could boil bones by leaving them in a cauldron to make some intermediate product such as unconcentrated gelatin. Then we could craft animal gelatin from unconcentrated gelatin by hand, maybe x3 -> x1.

yes was going to suggest this, from what I understand its extracted form animal skin (pigs being the most common and plentiful source). I would lkove to be able to make things like honey bear gummy's, or some pies, jello type things ect...

it can subsitute eggs also

Eggs are wonderful for a lot of people, but sometimes you need a way to make an egg-free dish either to avoid the eggs or play down the eggy taste. That’s where gelatin comes in.

Mix it with a little water, then toss it in your batter, and in no time you can have anything from eggless banana muffins to eggless pancakes or chocolate mousse.

and def glue


is and was used in alot of paper making

THIS! is the thing we really need! Domestic source of jelly for recipes. The only exception would be golden cats which should still be made by cave slime exclusively probably. Otherwise this curio would be too easy to make.

so boiled bones/skin was used to make small amounts of gelatin is what i read. this was used as far back as egypt but very little is documented as far as my google fu showed

would make bones even more wanted and would give excess hide a use. i suggest hide/bone in cauldron and about an hour of cooking

Myeah, have been meaning to do this.
