The whole bit about jellied foods being an aristocratic affair that requires a significant kitchen staff doesn’t ring true. My family are/we’re Eastern European serfs, and have always made these dishes. It requires little more than throwing bones in a pot and leaving to simmer a while. It’s the same process as making stock or broth, just with more bones.
