      I once fasted for 72 hours, just to see what it would be like to run out of glycogen and be truly hungry. I still probably wasn’t hungry enough to eat aspic. Perhaps if I were starving after another day or two? Still, I feel like there’s a chance I would rather die.

          Yeah, it checks all the boxes: texture, temperature, taste, smell, viscosity, and appearance. There’s little about it that isn’t an egregious affront to the senses. I will say this for it, though: it reduces waste, is potentially nutritious, preserves well, and is generally nontoxic.
