Knox unflavored gelatin is just that, *unflavored*. It would be totally
neutral as an ingredient in a savory dish, but I could see how it could add
thet "unctions" mouthfeel.

I'm not sure about Knox, but early commercial gelatin products were made
from animals, bones, cartilage, etc.

The fact that it has no flavor of its own makes it usefull in any category
of food.
