جيلي لحم الخنزير المجري
All European kitchens make pork jelly, a classic cold dish that gets its distinct “jelly” texture from the congealed juice that contains gelatin. The less noble, fatty, cartilaginous and bony parts of the pig (head, tail, skin, feet) are cooked with vegetables and spices in slightly salted water at 95 °C. Meanwhile, the collagen that serves as gelatin’s building block dissolves. When it is done, the meat is placed on plates, the defatted juice is poured over it. They are cooled in a cold environment until they gel and solidify. It can be prepared with fish or veal.
The story of pork jelly
In France, the earliest documented recipe for jelly-making was preserved: the oldest recipe book in Europe, attributed to Guillaume Tirel and published in 1395, already has a recipe for fish jelly. Ferenc Nádasdy, the Hungarian land agent mentions sturgeon jelly in one of the account books in 1544, which is the earliest known written account of jelly in Hungarian history.

ما هو الكولاجين؟
أساس الجسم هو الكولاجين, والتي يمكن اعتبارها شبكة من أنسجة الجسم. ويوفر هذا النسيج المرن للغاية الإطار الأساسي للجسم. فالجسم مرن ويتمتع بعظام ومفاصل قوية بفضل شبكة الكولاجين التي يشكلها. وعلى النقيض من منتجات التجميل الأخرى، فإن الكولاجين ضروري للحفاظ على الصحة البدنية الجيدة. فبدونه تصبح العظام ضعيفة جداً والمفاصل صلبة والجلد متجعداً جداً. وحتى سن الأربعين، يمكن للجسم أن ينتجه بكميات كافية حتى سن الأربعين. يتوقف الجسم عن إنتاج الكولاجين بعد سن الأربعين، لذلك من الضروري تناول الكولاجين لإعطاء الجسم المتقدم في السن العناصر الغذائية التي يحتاجها.
