Crow's Salmon Adventure

Okay y'all. So. I'm making a thing and it's going to be horrible, so obviously I need to share it with Tumblr.

For context, @kedreeva recently did a fun new year's ask game where they shared recipes from a cookbook. Most of them sounded really tasty! And then I saw... this one.

My thought process was as follows:

1. That sounds like an absolute abomination
2. But...
3. I like salmon (usually)
4. I like mousse (of the dessert variety, ideally chocolate)
5. I generally enjoy things with obscene amounts of condiments (though a cup of mayonnaise, admittedly, is very iffy)
6. I have a group of friends who will go out of their way to try literally any weird snack they can find (we've eaten durian pocky and dill pickle cotton candy, but that's another story), and they'd totally let me force this upon them, and, most importantly,
7. I could finally use my fish molds for their intended unholy purpose.

Yes, the fish molds. My collection of seafood-themed vintage copper pans that occasionally get used for breads or cakes but mostly just hang on the wall because I have opinions about kitchen decor and one of those opinions is that there should be copper fish everywhere. These things are literally designed for horrendous '60s savory gelatin concoctions. So I figure I have to make one eventually. Y'know, for the sake of the fish. Savory mayonnaise jello is probably enrichment for them or something.

So basically, all of this is to justify why I'm making salmon mousse tonight and liveblogging the process. I suggest blocking the tag "crow's salmon adventure" if you don't want to see... well. Gelatin. Mayo. Canned fish juices. Et cetera.

Stay tuned for the horrors!
