      It looks awful, but I’m willing to bet if you like tomato (which who doesn’t?) it’s actually pretty good. It sounds like a pretty good flavor profile from the ingredients. If it were a cocktail people would be fine with it, but since there’s no alcohol they think it’s weird.

      First ingredient on the list: gelatin. Of course.

      And this ingredient list is also suspiciously close to a bloody Mary’s.

      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.

        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.
