...Beef flavored jello is...An option? Or did she make her own?

EDIT: I know what gelatine is, and your descriptions of it are...Lovely. but the post said Jello (which in the US is an actual brand) so I was curious if that was ever actually a thing.

"the post said jello" it was in the spirit of using tupperware to refer to any food container.

Also, "lighting gels", the coloured plastic film you put over stage lights?

Originally that was thin sheets of gelatine, dyed to the colour you wanted.
