Limited Appeal

This show is an extended episode of Urban Legend: did you know that in the middle ages, it was fashionable to serve a gelatin dessert made from the party host's nail clippings, which would impart a flavour of the host to the guests? Well, it's apparently upsettingly true, even if the details of preparing this kind of specialty have been lost to time. We spend a lot of time considering how long a guy would have to collect his trimmings to host a party, and this musing leads to an unfortunately horrifying dose of Google Images. I implore you: resist the urge to verify how horrifying this particular topic can be in image form. It's as horrifying as the audio, but more. Ugh. If you know any recipes for preparing gelatin from trimmings, send them to us (sans images) by email (maskedman@limitedappeal.net).
