Ahh, now I remember the Jill Sandwitch line. Oh, Barry, when will you learn comedic timing?

I remember as a kid I was always confused by your peanut butter and jelly sandwitches. Because, seriously, why the hell do you call it jelly? You go and call jam jelly for no reason, then call jelly jello. Seems rather stupid to me, but meyh.

I've never understood many words Americans use. I just let them get on wth it...

Has anyone noticed that one of the Google ads advertises that you can buy sandwhiches on Ebay? Who the fuck bids on a sandwhich?

I once saw a can of Carling on eBay. Everything goes...

I've also forgotten to make reference to the sandwichy goodness that is Subway sandwiches. Lush. And I'll hear no different.

Well, hear yes, listen no...

Jam and jelly are two different beasties. Jelly is made with fruit juice, boiled with gelatin, whereas jam is made by rendering whole fruit down into pulp. The main difference between jam and preserves is the level of cooking-Preserves usually has the fruit in a more-together state.

Jello is jello and a gelatin. Not something that a sane man would spread on bread.

I beg to differ. Out of America, what you refer to as Jello is called Jelly. I may be wrong, and that may just be here, but if history has told us anything about differing opinions on the meaning of words, its usually down to Americans changing things.

I wonder what the history of the American Jello is...

As far as I know, And that's not very far, Jello corperation created Jello and called it Jello, and all off-brands not desiring lawsuit are pressed to call their concoctions "gelatin desserts."

What do you guys call uninteresting, textureless fruit spreads?

Ahh well. Maybe not communicated effectively, but I sure as hell would not put jello or, if you'd like, jelly on a sandwich. Jam or preserves are better.

"they make that from hooves, don't they?"

based on the above, I'm changing to preserves across the board.

heard somewhere:

"(she's) that gotta be jelly 'cause jam don't shake like that"

[Creaux]

I'd suggest bitter marmelade, that's actually my favorite preserve. Sort of hard to find, though, as all sorts of deluded sops think sweet marmelade is better. Pffft.

Apple butter is also quite nyummie...I dunno how wide spread it is (LOL), so in case you don't know what it is, it's basically a really fine apple paste constituted in apple cider. Light and fluffy and yummy!

I shall adopt the proper English usage of jam=fruit spread and jelly=gelatin. It does indeed make sense. But one thing I can't understand about England (aside from how Tony Blair stays in power) is clotted cream. What is it? Is it as bad as it sounds? We serve it at afternoon tea at the restaurant I work at and it rather intimidates me. Scones are delectable though.

[Girdag Fireskull]

Clotted Cream + Scones + Jam = Some acceptable form of heaven.

Oh yes, and nothing beats a Bacon, Lettuce and Tomato sandwich. Long live the BLT!

[Melissa]

Mmm i'm just after a freshly baked scone with whipped cream and jam! Soooooooo good

[Amber-Nicole]

Apple butter seems to be a Southern thing. Are you from the south?

They have Rib sandwiches down here. (if you can call it that) BBQ Rib bones between white bread. Damn, the barbeque in this town is Very good. Full Moon is expanding to Baltimore. Dreamland is all over the south now, too.

Nathan's (brand) skinless beef frank, pan-fried to a bubbling split with melted cheese, ketchup and mustard on a bun is my current Fave from home.

Yea, I made those at home before, SOOO good. Having a sandwich with meatballs, or gravy-drenched turkey is also amazing.

Origionally from St. Louis.

BLTs are quite good, I must admit.

If you want the best barbeque that you'll have on this earth, try either in Memphis or at a resturant called "Arthur Bryant's" in Kansas City. THAT'S how the flesh of dead animals SHOULD be loved.

Pulled pork sandwiches are also a bit of heaven, but then so are hamburgers. For some reason, I've always kept hamburgers devided out away from andwiches. If we're going to allow hamburgers in, though...A nice large sirloin burger smothered with stilton is AMAZING. Slap it on a toasted kaiser roll and you're ALL set for all KINDS of trouble.
