Jam vs Jelly
Jelly vs Jello
What’s your favourite jam? Strawberry? Raspberry? Blueberry?
How about jelly? Orange? Lime? Watermelon?
In America and UK, these are different types of food.
A popular sandwich is “peanut butter and jelly” in America. For a British person this sounds quite horrible!
However jelly, just means jam. The jam you would put on toast and scones.
When a child in America says they are eating “jello“, this means “jelly” in British English. “Jell-O” is a popular brand in America, so that’s why it’s said in that way.
