Pitcha, it's what for dinner, at least, that is what the Bernsteins regularly ate some eighty years ago. By all accounts, they loved it. I made it for my father, and used the above recipe as a starting point. He preferred adding at least a dozen cloves of garlic, and more salt. That is how he remembered it. The last time I made it for him, I showed it to him, and all he said was, "get me a spoon." It has to be good for your hair and fingernails. If you make it, be prepared for a "hoofy" smell in the house, though it isn't as bad as you might expect.
I also made it for my Dad with the recipe provided by Rich. He also warned me to leave a window open as it was a bit "hoofy smelling". I gagged my way through the entire process. It was disgusting. I don't know how they ate it. It smelled like the entire herd was in my kitchen. I haven't eaten jello since.
