The question: is it alive?
Beneath the glistening glaze lies "something", perhaps even food.
May contain meat from a can.
Paralyzed shrimp trapped in aspic, lying in state on a bed of creamed glop.
Tuna treat coated with Ann Page Sparkle Gelatine Dessert, Lime Flavour.
A rectangle of white sludge festooned with designs from the cave paintings of Lascaux.
Spherical objects under red jelly, origin unknown. Eggs are optional
Squint closely, and a fierce face leaps out from the plate.
Drunken lima beans bob and flounder in congealed orange fluid. Happy holidays!
A veritable riot of arrested life forms, held in rigid suspension by the miracle of. . . gelatine.
