I am genuinely surprised that the dollopy stuff you mention are
agar-based. I thought agar was much more expensive than gelatine. It
is also a laxative.

BSE put paid to animal-based gelatine in foods, surely?
Next time you're passing the little-pots-of-glop-desserts in the
supermarket, take look at the ingredients-list :-(

I'm wondering what would be fit for human consumption and thought NOT
fit for compost.

Supermarkets are full of appalling processed foods deemed fit for
human consumption, that I wouldn't want to eat or put in my compost
heap. The kind that consist of some agar and fat with colourings and
chemical flavouring, masquerading as "chocolate pudding" or "chicken
soup".

What kind of supermarket calls "chocolate pudding" or "chicken soup"
vegetables?!

I'd fogotten that one. {:-((
Since the meat is once again on the market, why are they scared of the
cow's foot jelly?
I confess that, since
(1) we don't eat that stuff,
and
(20 I sit and snooze in the car while my better half does the
supermarket shopping,
I have never looked at an ingredients list.

Do they mention its laxative properties on the packaging?
