see, Shel, the way i always understood it is that what you guys call "jello" is what we in Oz call "jelly", so if someone says "pb and j" sandwich, that to me is peanut butter and flavoured gelatine (you know, the stuff that you put in a mould and wobbles on the plate, not an ounce of fruit in sight)! jam/preserves always have fruit in them don't they, and that is what we generally eat on toast? at least in australia they do - which leaves me with one question, if what we call jam/preserves is just that, and what you call "jello" is what we call "jelly", then what the heck is the stuff that YOU call "jelly"....?!? lol...
tan. (who yes, sometimes DOES think and talk like a "typical bloody woman"... confusing to you guys as it is! lol) (and who i fear is now proving Cotty's "mad as a march hare" theory to be extremely correct...) PS Ryan, this is starting to look like a thread that we should send in for Rove to read out - "What tha?!?!?!" PPS what the heck does this have to do with pentax, or even photography? talk about taking the ball and running with it... i am so easily led... ----- Original Message ----- From: "graywolf" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Sunday, December 07, 2003 10:34 AM Subject: Re: OT-Totally OT but... > We call jelly, jelly, and jam, jam though some of the manufactures now call jam, > preserves.
