Actually imho it's even not a classic 'kholodets' on the picture you have posted. It looks more like "заливное" for me. I dislike how it looks only for the reason that It seems like there are some carrot-looking suff in it. Eww, I hate carrot in such things . But generally I like 'заливное', especially from beef tongues, yum:



My cousin's mother-in-law works with Americans and she told me a story how she invited two of them to a dinner in her house. And one of the dishes was jelly from beef tongues (заливной язык). They tasted it and both of them liked it very much, but then one of them asked from what ingridients the dish was made of. Acording to her, Americans don't eat meat "sub-products" at all. So, when they realized that they just have eaten beef tongues, they suddenly had to visit bathroom emmediately.
