Preserves are any fruits mixed with sugar to make a spread.
Conserves are the same but have chunks of fruit in them.

Only in the US. You go into a store here and ask for jelly they'll give you a small rectangular packet of gelatin that you drop into boiling water, leave in the fridge for a few hours and then enjoy with ice cream or whatever.

Here on this side of the world jam is what you spread on your bread, toast, waffles, whatever. So what do you call what we call jelly then? The dessert?

Anyway, yeah but what the bleep is that hellhound thing then???

My mother was a chef, she calls seedless jam jelly, I went to catering college they called seedless jam jelly there too. I worked in a supermarket they were called jams & jellys there too.

It is possible for more than one thing to have the same name. I'm assuming you've never filled up a chip pan with Castrol GTX because you were confused by the word oil being used for several things.

My mother & the supermarket and the tutor at the collage were English btw.

A metaphor

And the woman!

The mystery is solved! They never DID discover why my house burned down that time! Thanks, Urban! (Makes note: Castrol GTX NOT for cooking chips. Makes a second note: SPRY Crisp'n'Dry NOT for engine of car...)

I love both, but creamy is better for sandwiches, and since I eat PBJs a lot then I'll go with creamy. But if I'm eating it straight out of the jar, then crunchy all the way.

Peanuts are legumes.

British weirdness.
