Re: FOR THOSE RUNNING OUT OF ALTERNATIVES-- high frequency focused ultrasound

Mischa, I said the consistency of the liver is said to be most simiilar to tomato aspic (I don't know if they serve/make tomato aspic in France, but it is like a congealed fruit gelee--don't know how to do an accent ague with my keybord) thickened with corn starch and refrigerated over night) The contents of a tin of tomato aspic will stand on their own once the tin is removed (like a tower of jello) but if you tried to sew one "tower of jello" to another "tower of jello" or put a stitch in it to try to tie off a blood vessel, it could be difficult not to get it to come apart (and bleed)

Sorry for my culinary analogies, especially in a country that cares so much for its food!
