What's the best way to make a vegetarian gelatin?

Use agar agar (a sea vegetable product available in Asian markets in long rectangular pieces, or in health food stores in flakes - the Asian market products are cheapest -- there is really no way to insure organic-ness) You dissolve the agar agar in hot water and add whatever flavorings you want. This is how they make gelatinous foods in Japan and China

If you google "vegan jello" or some such, you will probably come up with recipes with agar agar

Vegan cheeze recipes often use agar agar as a thickener

Some raw vegans also use agar agar to make "jellies"

Gelatin Whole Foods

Whole Foods Gelatin

Whole foods carries vegetarian gelatin. You can also make a vegetarian Jello with agar agar and fruit juice.

'Vegetarian' means not eating animals or slaughter bi-products. I think you're doing a good thing by cutting out most meat and being aware of slaughter biproducts. But as long as you're eating fish (an animal) you're not vegetarian. I know some people would consider this a nitpicky detail, but people who say their veg and eat meat make it hard for those of us who are vegetarian and go to people's houses or restaurants where they're under the impression that fish are vegetarian food.

I know that's a lengthy explanation but I want to expalin why it's an issue.

no people are wrong, vegetarians DO NOT eat gelatin if you eat gelatin you are not vegetarian, gelatin basically comes from animal bones, so they dont eat it becuase you still have to kill an animal to get gelitan, vegans on the other hand dont eat any animal products whether they directly or indirectly lead to animal harm,

You are not a vegetarian, but a pescetarian. Do not confuse the two. And not all Jello contains gelatin, even if it isn't specified for vegetarians. Just look at the ingredients and you can tell.

Gelatin is made from boiling bones, skin, tendons, and other animal connective tissue. Not pretty stuff....

You arent a vegetarian.

Eating fish and saying your a vegetarian is horrible.

If you still want to eat fish, you are a PESCETARIAN.

And just buy Vegetarian Jello.

Go to your local health food/vegetarian shop and look for Vege-Gel, agar agar, pectin, locust bean gum and carageenen. They are vegetarian alternatives to gelatine.

You can also find vegetarian jelly/Jell-O.

you can also go to some health food stores and get vegetarian powdered gelatin that is Kosher . My kids and i loved it. we added or own fruit flavors. We also got veggie marshmallows.
