It's a gel prepared with gelatine, not pectin. You eat it out of a bowl or as part of a trifle.

It's known as Jell-O in the states AFAIK, because capitalism or something.

E: to clarify, not suggesting you eat jam (what you call jelly) out of a bowl with a spoon; just asserting that America is ...bad at names.
Jello is also something you can put between two slices of bread. You know not of what you speak.

... and I've ate jelly out of a bowl with a spoon, too. Sometimes you want just the jelly. Admittedly you generally skip the bowl step and just eat it out of the jar but whatev'.

Yeah, jelly is the wobbly stuff you eat as dessert. Jelly is also the american name for jam, was what i thought.
As for this, jelly is jam with the pulp filtered out.

Not quite. Jam and jelly are two different things; typically jam contains part of the fruit itself while jelly has a more even consistency.

Wat. Jell-O and jelly are two totally different things.
Everywhere else (I think, maybe excluding places like the Philippines & other heavily US-influenced cultures) Jello is either just a brand of jelly or 'what Yanks call jelly'.

wrt the pulp filtered out thing: based on the Wikipedia article, nobody outside North America has the temerity to filter their jam

And they're more of the fool for it. Blame not your lack of vocabulary on american innovation. We needed a new word since you fogeys didn't have it, and we took one.

Sorry Blarg, but jelly (or conserve, as I believe us civilized types are supposed to call it) is in fact jam without pulp. I've actually made it once, and my father explained the difference in the process. :P

The Wikipedia article, again, defines 'conserves' as a jam where the fruit is still whole or in large pieces; not filtered out at all

As such, I believe I am entitled to blow you a raspberry!

thrrrrpt

And they're more of the fool for it. Blame not your lack of vocabulary on american innovation. We needed a new word since you fogeys didn't have it, and we took one.

Why'd y'all have to take a word that was already extant and useful? Same deal for calling chillis and capsicums peppers; it's ambiguous, because y'all even still call pepper pepper. It's particularly egregious when you're talking about bell peppers, as they're not even peppery!



I think what we need to take away from this is that I'm right and everyone who disagrees with me in any way is very, very silly.

This is starting to sound like some of you guys are starting to take it seriously. So everyone just relax and put your dicks back in your pants before someone gets annoyed and the toad whacks it off. Alright?

I also find it silly that I apparently trust undead abominations from hell with my personal correspondence.
Well naturally. Undead abominations don't have the cunning to carry out a plot.

I hope it's been clear that my tongue is firmly in my cheek here; I'm not trying to insult anyone, just poke fun.

Also, 'lops' might be a less innuendo-charged term than 'whacks' there. Uh.

Getting banned for an argument over the correct nomenclature for jam would probably be a new low, if not for the internet - but for this forum, at least.

I doubt anyone would get banned for such a thing unless someone had multiple previous infractions. More probably warnings and possibly a temporary mute for the worst offenders.

Of course, I'd rather nothing bad happen at all so I'm fine with dropping the jam debate :p

Personally I think it would be hilarious. I'm sure Toady would just have to add a snark into the moderation log if someone got banned over something stupid as jam/jelly/preserves

I mostly just said that since I couldn't help but feel Descan wasn't joking around. I don't know anyone who uses "eurotrash" facetiously.
