Jothar –

I fail to see how any of the above arguments sufficiently deal with the fact that even if it is assur to eat b’ein, it is batel b’rov because right now it has no ta’am.* Unless you pasken like the Shach in 103, which is a major chumrah.

Moreover, even if for some odd reason (and my rav claims that the metzius is not like this) you want to say there is ta’am, what kind of ta’am are we talking about? Ta’am of meat? Ta’am of skin? These things are pashut nosen ta’am lifgam in Ice cream, candies, etc., v’ha raya you don’t find meat flavored candies… (My rosh chabura used this argument to say that meat is pogem in coffee).

* From the first line of the Wikipedia article: “Gelatin (or gelatine) is a translucent, colorless, brittle (when dry), flavorless solid substance.”
