I wasn't 'jibbing', Aut; just remarking that, while over there they use a brand-name generically for that sort of pudding [in the same way, as you say, that we use hoover as noun & verb for (using) a carpet-cleaner], we use the same name for it as the seedless version of the spread. Just a difference, is all.

Noteworthy, I think, that a lot of our leading makers of jams also make both (our) sorts of jelly ~~ Chivers, Robertsons, et al.
