There are English 14th-15th c. dishes called jelly in various spellings
which are meat or sometimes fish cooked down in wine and/or vinegar and/or
water, the meat versions including pig's feet or calves' feet, wher you put
the meat on a dish, strain the sauce, pour the sauce over the meat and let
cool. I don't know of any organ meat versions, and I can't remember any
onions. It's not very close, but it is the closest I can think of.
