Check out what I am cooking, eating, and dreaming about cooking and eating.

That was always my favorite part in regular dead cow or chicken liver pate when I used to eat that stuff. Adding a tablespoon of brandy or dry sherry always helps.

I have some agar agar but have been scared to try using it because I've heard that it gels more than gelatin does? I really need to just try it though. And I need to check out those 2 cookbooks! I can't believe someone said that about vegans. How strange. Ooo intriguing! I have some agar agar but have been scared to try using it because I’ve heard that it gels more than gelatin does?

I went to this vegetarian, hippie summer camp in rural Quebec when I was a teenager. Loved the camp, the food not so much. It was crazy hippie food - millet casserole and the like - once we even had these horrendous noodles with yeast sauce (even the cooks wouldn't eat it and vowed never to make it again). So onto agar agar - there would always be a late evening snack, and once it was "jello" made with agar agar. It was a lumpy, weird tasting mess - truly the most awful "treat" I have ever had in my life! For this reason alone, I just cannot get behind agar agar! It sounds like you used it *properly*, though! :) Since you mentioned it, I have to tell you about my experience with agar agar.
