Anyone help with this one? On a school ski trip to the Alps when I was 16, we were told (by my teacher, no less) that drinking water with cheese fondue would give us stomach ache - you must drink wine with a fondue.

Oh wait, that’s true. GAG
Yes, gelatin has an animal source. Skin, cartilage, bones. Anything with collagen in it. It’s not specifically animal hides, though, as far as I know.
