My DH once found a source for it in chassidish Sefer the Roshei Teves for it is עמך ישראל צריכים פרנסה, Hence a segulla for parnassah. We have been eating it since both versions hot and cold.

My MIL used to make it. I didn't grow up with it. Loved my MIL but not the ptcha. She used a ton of garlic. I bet it was good, just never tried it. Now that she is gone, I wish I had tried it once.

It's a very traditional dish that neither my mother nor my grandmother ever served, at least not during my lifetime. That and schav--another winnner in the "horrible-sounding eastern european traditional foods" contest--were things I heard them discussing with older relatives when I was a very young child. The look of the stuff is so off-putting to me (even the name sounds like a disease, possibly some sort of unsightly skin disorder) that on the two occasions I actually came across it served in the flesh, I didn't have the intestinal fortitude to try it. Nor do I ever intend to, though I think it would make an excellent soup base and would cheerfully add it to my soup pot if any ever came my way. Ptcha, that is. Schav reminds me of nasal mucus and the only thing I would do with it if it came my way is palm it off onto someone else.

So interesting to know that there is a difference between ptcha and gala, I always thought it was just different names for the same thing, based on where the family was from or something. So thanks sourstix!
I grew up seeing it occasionally, but not eating it!
But as an adult I now love it. I've made it once, but one of the local butchers makes a great one.
It was much easier than I expected.
It had the same texture as jello, it's just savoury.

It has a very garlicy taste, some call it galarete, or gala. Those who call it galarete, use the word p'tsay for the dish made of chicken feet, yellow of a hard boiled egg, lemon, and maybe sugar???!
