Re: Rant Thread:
(Anonymous) 2014-09-24 11:59 pm (UTC)(link)Hershey's kisses taste like dirt to me. Sorry?
Reese's peanut butter cups are also pretty gross. The chocolate is waxy and sugary, and the peanut butter (IS THAT ACTUALLY MEANT TO BE PEANUT BUTTER?) is simultaneously greasy and dry and gritty. I mean, I still ate the whole thing without dying.
I did like Hershey's cookie and cream though.
I am confused by your jam, jelly, jello, preserve situation. Please advise.
Re: Rant Thread:
(Anonymous) 2014-09-25 12:09 am (UTC)(link)I don't think it's really meant to emulate peanut butter so much as a pb-tasting sugar/fat paste? So I can see where that would be off-putting if you were expecting actual peanut butter (I love Reese's cups, but I grew up on them haha).
Jello here is a gelatin jiggly food (I think it is what you call jelly?). Jelly here doesn't have the fruit in it, just juice for flavoring (so it's more easily spreadable), and jam/preserves are pretty similar (fruit pieces mixed in) but I think jam is more "homogenous" (like if you mixed pulp in) while preserves tend to have bigger chunks of fruit (maybe)?

(Anonymous) 2014-09-25 12:16 am (UTC)(link)Yes, jelly is the jiggly one here.
When I was younger I thought peanut butter and jelly sandwiches (ewwww) were made with actual jelly. I didn't understand how you could spread jelly on bread and I thought you were all crazy people.

(Anonymous) 2014-09-25 12:28 am (UTC)(link)Heh, I can see where that would seem odd! I actually hadn't had a pb&j sandwich until a few years ago; it's doable (like vegemite for me, haha), but not my favorite... Nutella all the way! Or cookie butter, mmm. (like peanut butter, not...butter butter)
no subject

Re: Rant Thread:
Here is a pretty good description:
Jelly is a clear fruit spread made from cooked fruit juice and sugar, and possibly pectin, which helps it gel and thicken. After the initial cooking, jelly is strained through a muslin stockinette or “jelly bag” to remove any solids.
Jam is a thick spread made from fruit juice, chopped, crushed, or puréed fruit, and sugar. Pectin may also be added to help it gel, but jams are usually looser than jellies. Jam typically contains a bit of fruit pulp, so it’s not entirely transparent.
Preserves are another thick fruit spread made from fruit cooked with sugar, but in this case, large pieces of the fruit, or the whole fruit (as in the case of berries), are suspended in a firm jelly or less-gelled syrupy base. Unlike jams and jellies, preserves are chunky in texture.
In my expeience, jelly is cheap. Jam is a bit more expensive. Preserves are things you buy at Farmer's markets or make at home.
Jello is gelatin! So not something you spread on bread. It is what the Jurassic Park girl is eating!
