Well, we weren't poor growing up, but my Paternal Grandmother, learned lessons from the depression, and created some amazing combo's. To this day, Mayonnaise and Potato Chip Sandwich (Salt & Vinegar especially) will always have a soft spot in my pallet.

The perfect PBJ sandwich: 1 slice of white bread with peanut butter topped with sliced bananas, put on another slice of white bread, top that with strawberry preserves and marshmallow fluff... Top with a final slice of bread...

Then, if you want to go really crazy, dip the whole thing in french toast batter and grill it golden brown, sprinkle with powdered sugar and eat it with a fork...

So...what we call jelly you call jam? Just out of curiosity what do you call the stuff that we call jam? What about marmalade, preserves and fruit spread?
Yeah, I know I'm being kind of a smart a$$; but I'm still curious.

you guys have jam. .I have not been to the states and was told once by a friend that went there that you call jam jelly. . is this not the case. . please dont tell me you actually put JELLY into a sandwich. .

Jelly is a gelatinous sweet made with water and set in the fridge while jam is a fruit preserve made with sugar. .

so which is it. . jelly or jam that you do these peanut butter sandwices with? now im confused. . damn incorrect knowledge. .:angry:

Great stuff; second only to dulce de leche.

Publix makes a dulce de leche ice cream... We tried it a while ago and loved it. Translated "dulce de leche" means sweet milk; well when my Dad went to work he recommended it to some of his co-workers, but he incorrectly said it meant "mother's milk." :pity: :lol:

HAHA. True story too. :up:

Jelly is more ....??jelly-like
Jam is more spreadable
Me I prefer to use jam for the above reason.
By the way the first picture is JELLO, not jelly
Man, they've got you all confused, brother.
As to what others call it..yeah I can see that some would maybe refer to jam as jelly as kind of a generic term. Much the same way some people will call all brands of facial tissue a kleenex or all adhesive bandages band-aids....
Jam, jelly, marmalade, fruit curd, preserves etc...
If its a fruit spread it must be jelly.

My international teacher was talking about working abroad for a company (he had done it when he was younger) and he actually addressed Peanut Butter; he basically said Peanut Butter is only real popular in the US and that you will have a hard time finding it in other places (he lived in the Czech Republic, Russia, Japan, etc.). I just thought that was very weird, but it does make sense... the question is why do us Americans like it??? lol

On the subject of Nutella, I have a great recipe for you all. Had it at a friends house when I was younger and loved it...

1.) You slice a Pineapple horizontally about a inch thick. (He left the rind on)
2.) Then you grill the Pineapple slices real quick. Basically this seals in the flavor and actually makes it sweeter. I am not sure how long he left it on for, but I think its high heat for only a little bit. The out side should still be yellow... not black.
3.) Put some Nutella on top. Spread it around the top, not too thin and but not to thick; you should cover about 80% of the pineapple slice but leave the edges uncovered.
4.) Put some whip cream on top.
5.) Enjoy. It was amazing!!

Thank you giovafin for this awesome Sig!

You mean 'Black Pudding' right. .

Blood sausage is made in a variety of countries all over the world, and goes by a number of names including blutwurst (Germany), Boudin Noir (France), and Morcilla (Spain). In all cases, the food takes the form of a link sausage made from pork or other meats mixed with blood, which gives the blood sausage a distinctive dark color. Some countries, including England, make blood pudding, a dish founded along similar culinary principles.

Blood sausage is distasteful to some consumers due to the blood content, which is perceived as unpleasant or offensive. However, when made properly, blood sausage should not have the metallic taste which most individuals link with blood. Instead, blood sausage has a rich and complex flavor which is delicious alone or as a complement to soups, stews, and other dishes.

Blood sausage has been made on the day of slaughter for thousands of years, and was even written about by Homer. The sausage tastes best when made with fresh blood which has not coagulated, and is therefore one of the first products to be made from the slaughtered animal. Depending on the region, animals may be slaughtered by gun or knife, but in either case must be suspended and bled. The blood is collected in a basin for use in blood sausage, and is usually kept somewhere cool while the animal is being butchered and dressed.

In the most simple form, blood sausage consists of onions and a few herbs and spices cooked together with pork, to which the blood is added. The mixture is thoroughly stirred together so that the blood distributes evenly, and then forced into sausage casings. It is important not to use too much blood, and to ensure even mixing, so that clots of blood do not form in the sausage, which can make an unpleasant experience for the diner. After being made, blood sausage can be cooked and canned, dried, or eaten fresh.

Fresh blood sausages will generally keep for only a few days, although they can be frozen. Because of their short shelf life when fresh, blood sausage frequently accompanies the traditional post slaughter meal, which includes other delicate meats such as the liver. Because of the delicacy of blood sausage, it is usually available for sale in a precooked or cured form, which tastes very different than fresh sausage. For this reason, many chefs with access to a good butcher prefer to make it fresh, although obtaining fresh blood can be difficult in some areas.

Blood sausage is made in a variety of ways, with many additional ingredients such as cream, seasonal vegetables, or more heavy spices. In the American South, for example, spicy Boudin Noir is a popular dish and can be found at many restaurants and roadside stands. Given the wide variety of regional preparations, blood sausage is a culinary adventure worth having, despite the somewhat distasteful name.

OK, NOW I get the confusion. I'm pretty slow at times, bro.
Jello/jelly doesn't sound so good on a peanut butter sandwich. I showed all this to my wife and she just laughed and said you probably thought Americans are crazy.....some are though, regardless. :lol:
Even so an awful lot of Americans eat peanut butter and fruit based spread (hows that for bridging the language barrier?) sandwiches.
In fact, in the majority of households it something of a staple for kids' lunches.
Oh and while we're on the subject in general. Man, one of the best things ever is the HP sauce.
My wife brought me some back from Ireland a couple of years back. Best condiment ever.
