- driveby_bye_bye 13y agoRead wintermute's quote. ggp probably meant the word "jelly" instead of the word "jello". No one is contesting the word "jam". Don't reply to this comment.
- jjsz 13y agoThe scenario is that a US foreigner mentioned we use jello for jam. We use the word jam. Don't reply to this comment.
- w1ntermute 13y agoYou're missing the point. Regardless of whether "jam" is used, so is "jelly" (not "jello"). I am American and I use both "jam" and "jelly". There's probably variation in usage throughout the country. Don't reply to this comment.
- evilduck 13y agoJam, jelly and jello are 3 distinct things to Americans. Jello is a brand, its just flavored gelatin and comes in a box as a powder, sometimes people add fruit chunks. Jelly is a gel made from fruit juice and fruit pectin but contains no fruit solids. Jam is similar to jelly but contains some solids.
