I’m not sure how or why grape became the default. For the longest time, I thought I didn’t like PB&J. But ever since trying it with strawberry instead, I understood the appeal. It’s so much better, and now I find it weird that the combination isn’t more common.
No one’s mentioned blackcurrant jam? The absolute best kind of jam for all purposes including PBJ
Never heard of grape jam or ‘jelly’ though. Strawberry or raspberry jam seems to be the most common round here in NZ, and it’s all okay but has nothing on blackcurrant
It’s good but can be difficult to find in many places. The closer the average accent is to English, the easier it gets
I gotta try this.
Have you never heard the difference between jam and jelly? It’s a real distinction. Jelly is basically jam with any pieces of the actual fruit filtered out for a smoother consistency.
Yeah I’m vaguely aware that jelly exists. Not sure if I’ve ever had it though, I think I’ve seen it on a shelf once or twice but it’s definitely pretty uncommon here. It might be mostly a US thing
Round here ‘jelly’ refers to a wobbly hydrated crystal that kids eat with icecream at parties
