Thread Name: BS: Fear the holiday jello
Subject: RE: BS: Fear the holiday jello
We only eat jelly (that's the UK version of jello) as part of a trifle, with a heavy dosage of sherry in the sponge cake layer. Although I confess to enjoying jelly in its naked state and have been known to eat cubes of the non-made-up block. However, when I saw what you Americans do to it, to make it into a salad ingredient, I was appalled. It's a dessert. Repeat after me: it's a dessert. It does not go with coleslaw or lettuce. It's a dessert.
