Hehe.

American and English Jams are the same.

American Jelly is like English Cranberry Jelly (mix between jello and jam)

American Jello is English Jelly.

There. All sorted.

I thought what you called jelly and what you called jam were the other way around from what we call each.
Strawberry jam is best homemade, and is made with strawberries and pectin.
Jelly doesn't spread and strawberry jelly only has strawberry flavour. It is made out of beef tallow, and strict vegetarians can't eat it.

Do you say "must be jelly because jam don't jiggle like that", or the other way around?

I can honestly say I have NEVER said that or even heard it! Jello to you is jelly to me! As for the jams/jellies question, someone english is gonna have to help me out there coz me & my family are welsh so we didnt speak english in that kind of depth when I was growing up & learning it.

Jigga-Scrooge-Where the HELL do you keep getting these food websites from?! I couldnt find a single one to illustrate my point about jelly/jello being the same!!

Probably out of his brain, they are both major brands.

[jackthelad]

Only in america. Ive never heard of either of them.

Sorry, but back on topic

Cosby is coming to my school to do a comedy routine in the spring, but alas, I will be working.

[superdave]

In Australia the jam/jelly situation is the same as in Britain. But as I understand it the chip/crisp situation is like this:

America:
hot chips = french fries
potato chips = chips

Britain:
hot chips = chips
potato chips = crisps

Australia:
hot chips = chips
potato chips = chips

I must say I have never heard anyone call crisps potato chips in britain...I thought that was an american thing...

Crisps are Crisps....plain and simple..
