Protein obtained by boiling skin, tendons, ligaments, and/or bones with water. From cows and pigs. Used in shampoos, face masks, and other cosmetics. Used as a thickener for fruit gelatins and puddings (e.g., "Jello"). In candies, marshmallows, cakes, ice cream, yogurts. On photographic film and in vitamins as a coating and as capsules. Sometimes used to assist in "clearing" wines. Alternatives: carrageen (carrageenan, Irish moss), seaweeds (algin, agar-agar, kelp—used in jellies, plastics, medicine), pectin from fruits, dextrins, locust bean gum, cotton gum, silica gel. Marshmallows were originally made from the root of the marsh mallow plant. Vegetarian capsules are now available from several companies. Digital cameras don't use film.
Gelatin is certainly not vegetarian.

Get the J. Geils Band mug.A heaven sent treat consisting of Italian water ice and soft ice cream/custard. You can get a wide variety of flavors for the water ice and the typical vanilla or chocolate custard. The gelati is layered starting with custard on the bottom, then water ice, then some more custard, etc (depending on the size you get). It is believed to only be available at a Ritas Water Ice location near you. Enjoy!
"I'll take a small gelati with wild black cherry ice and vanilla custard please, and my wife would like a small gelati with green apple and vanilla."

Get the gelati mug.I woke up one night to find "gelatinous ecstasy" on my chest and my roommate Jon standing over me, smiling. I went to the bathroom one night, and found "gelatinous ecstasy" all over the toilet seat.
