In the latest edition of cook's illustrated they had an article on
meatloaf where they substituted powdered gelatin for veal.
Here's a quote form the article:

"But our biggest challenge was textu Traditional meat loaves made of
beef, pork, and veal have an unctuous texture (because of the gelatin in
veal) that was tricky to duplicate. Adding veal stock seemed
unreasonable, so we focused on the much more readily available powdered
gelatin. A mere half-teaspoon made the texture luxuriously smooth."

Readily available? I don't think so. I search amazon.com to see what the
packaging looks like so I can easily spot it at the store since I don't
remember ever seeing this on the shelves. I found some made by McCormick
but it's not available and the only other products listed are jell-o and
something to do with fingernails. I know my store doesn't carry the
McCormick brand or else I would've remember seeing it with the rest of
their spices. It's looking like this is a very uncommon product...am I
right?
