"Gelatin is made from various animal products including fish bones, calves' hooves, and marrow."
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080923170304AA...

"By cooking animal bones or adding fish bones to the broth of your gefilte fish, you will extract some of the collagen from the bones. This gives you the wobbly jelly in Petcha or the gefilte fish that comes in a can.
The most common form that collagen is marketed to us is in its partially hydrolyzed state known commonly as gelatin. The word gelatin comes from the Latin word gelatus, meaning stiff or frozen."

agree  Lorraine Buckley (X): Absolutely. It's always called gelatin in English (the most usual source is (bovine) bone marrow, which is why it virtually disappeared during the 'mad cow' ban of all potentially toxic meat derivatives
