ASPIC
noun
/ˈæspɪk/
A savory jelly made from meat stock, often holding pieces of meat, fish, or vegetables.
Similar: gelatin, jelly, terrine
Origin: From French aspic, named for the asp — the jelly's colors were thought to resemble the snake.
Difficulty 6.1/10
ASPIC is uncommon kitchen vocabulary, so even after A and C are known, players often keep testing familiar -IC words (BASIC, MAGIC, MUSIC) instead of a savory jelly. The SP cluster in the middle is easy to skip if you have already burned S on a more ordinary guess.
