    I thought jellied tomato might not be too bad, like a chilled tomato gazpacho, even some of the other stuff might make it like a virgin bloody mary…but the beef flavoring? Nope, that killed it for me.

      Tomato naturally is high in MSG. It naturally has a meaty/umami flavor. Don’t judge before you try it. It should work I think, as a flavor profile.

        I’m thinking cold roast beef and tomato slice. Not necessarily a bad combo, like a sandwich, but the gel prospect is what’s off putting. Be the texture of cold beef fat. It’s not for me.

          Yeah, that’s fair. I’m someone who will try anything once. The texture of this seems bad, but I can’t write it off. The flavors sound pretty good together, so I think it could work. I’d guess it’s better without the gelatin though. It seems to just be there to be filling so you can lose weight.

      I think if you left that out it could be pretty good! Call it a Jiggly Mary. In fact, let’s pour a shot of vodka over each serving, unless the person requested Virgin or is a child.

      Wait until you find out about clamato juice. That stuff makes a great bloody Mary, and honestly I think this recipe could be a good play on that.

      You can easily substitute that with a veggie broth cube. But that does not change the fact that this is a food crime from the start.
