Well, I don't know. I used to watch my grandmother make both jams and jellies, and the only difference was the amount of straining she did. Currant jelly sets up nicely without the addition of gelatin.

You are right about the straining we used to use nylon stockings when I was a kid to make apple or blackberry jelly , but you have to let it drip if you force it the jelly gets cloudy, I think also Jelly is usually made from fruit with low pectin naturally, you can boil the life out of the jam and make it thicker but most people use added pectin now.

This does sound pretty disgusting. I'll have to try it sometime.
Technically, jam and jelly are two different things here. Jelly is basically just flavored gelatin. Jam has the mushed up fruit bits in it. I prefer jam.
I remember reading all of my junior pulp fiction (R. L. Stine, etc) that referred to jam as jelly. Was I mistaken in this presumption?

I think what we call jam you would call fruit preserve or conserve, jelly is the same as welches grape jelly, but the most popular flavours are apple and blackberry, jelly is not very popular but we also call jello jelly and that is popular we use it to make trifle

Vegemite > Marmite.
marmite has sugar in it, and while edible, isn't as good as vegemite.
I think I will stay with my Nutella, thanks.

I'm definitely with you there.
Does anyone here remember a show called 'Saturday Disney'. Well for those unlucky enough to not have lived in Australia 10 years ago saturday disney was a kids program which showed disney cartoons. One time the hosts (all three of them being young and horrendously good looking) went to the US and was giving people taste tests of vegemite. All the adults hated it, all the babies loved.
I think that everyone is born LOVING vegemite but somehow attain a certain psychological disability to liking it. I'm sure there's support groups out there for you poor individuals.
I have it, i just had an amazing idea (probably the vegemite on toast i just ate) im starting a religion that worships vegemite. It's real and by real i mean you can actually use your 5 senses to back this up, you dont have to imagine it, or just have 'faith' that it is real. It's good for you buttloads of vitamin B6. It's not judgemental, it wont get jealous and strike you down if you feel like peanut butter on your toast. It gives non stop and only asks for a small donation every now and then.
It's the perfect God.
"Our father in a glass jar
Yellow be thy label
Your yummyness come
Your tastiness be done on bread as it is on crackers
Give us this day our Vitamin B6
Forgive us our double dipping
As we forgive those who have double dipped against
And lead us not into hunger
But deliver us from dry toast
For yours is the yumminess
The gooiness
And the saltiness
For ever and ever
Amen'
Do you like. It's only a first draft, vegemitism is felxible and will move with the times so it may and probably will be changed in the future.
Yours in black goiness

I was trying to come up with just the right mixture of sarcasm and humour.
But i do love vegemite.

Wasabi peas.
And as far as jelly, jam and gelatin are concerned, it's just another cultural misunderstanding much like fries vs. chips vs. crisps, cookies vs. biscuits vs. crackers, etc.

Yeah ... I'm just not getting the whole dried peas thing. Wasabi good, but not good enough to save dried peas.

They're a delicious, crunchy snack.

Try this one:
Buttered toast, a layer of vegemite, then slices of Avocado!
It's actually very very very good!!!

Holy crap, that sounds palatable.
Hmm i get paid tomorrow, i might try it. Let you know what i think.

Don't underestimate the inherent attractiveness of a cruncy, salty snack.
A co-worker had dried edamame the other day and I tried some. I wouldn't say that they were good; slightly nutty in flavor. But if I was in a munchy mood, they'd be perfect.
