Word origin

The term 'aspic' originates from the French word 'aspic', which means a dish made with gelatinous meat stock.

The method of using gelatin to preserve and enhance the flavor of meats started gaining popularity in the 19th century, particularly in French cuisine. Aspic exemplifies the culinary finesse associated with French cooking, where presentation and flavor are intertwined.
