8. Calf’s Foot Jelly
Once prized as both a dessert and a health tonic, calf’s foot jelly was a staple in 18th and 19th-century households. Its labor-intensive preparation was eventually eclipsed by the convenience of industrially produced gelatin. As tastes shifted toward lighter and more modern sweets, this traditional dish faded away.
