Admit it - you thought of the scene from Better Off Dead, where the mom pulls a grey dripping roast out of a pot of boiling water.

Aspic (Balkan Style) - This is a Savour Jelly food made from gelatine sourced from meat. My father makes a traditional pork version. He boils the living daylights out of Pork leg and Hocks. When completed he pours the 'soup' like mixture into serving plates and places them in the fridge overnight where they go hard like jelly. NO additional gelatine is added other than from the boiled pork Hock/legs. There are other ingredients that is added before going from liquid to jelly such as garlic, some of the boiled meat that has fallen off the pork leg, and sometimes thin slices of boiled egg.

Its served as an entree however I don't eat the stuff. I have family and friends who will eat plate loads because they consider it top shelf.

A pressure cooker is great for cooking meat in a way that replicates "boiling". Corned beef and cabbage work great in a pressure cooker.

I like to poach fish. This method is perfect for it's delicate texture and flavor. I also love to play around with poaching beef tenderloin in various stocks with different vegetables. It may seem like sacrilege to do this to a fillet, but it turns out wonderfully and allows you to appreciate fruitier red wines more with beef.

If you do include poaching as boiling, you probably don't want to stop over for dinner:
