From Good Dishes from Tinned Food (1939), Ambrose Heath
I'm interrupting the semi-regularly scheduled Midnight Sausage series to share molded food images and recipes from my personal collection of early-to-mid 20th century cookbooks. There will be aspic. There will be mousse. There will be various gelatins. All will be semi-solid and of debatable degrees of edibility.
Please feel free to shimmy and shake your way to the comments section to share your very own magical, masticable molds of yore.

I also love where they say, "Put into a quick oven..." :D

Even if we're taking into account that it's a British recipe and Yorkshire pudding and the like are actually really tasty.
