So what is it?


Gelatine dessert?

What is your generic name for the stuff that Jello,
other brands, and the homemade version are examples of?


The gelatine-based "Jell-O" brand is what we in the UK would
generically call "jelly", but jelly in the states means "jam", as
in PB&J I think.


To confuse this further. We have jelly and jam and they aren't the
same thing. The consistency is different for one.

There are also non-gelatine "Jell-O puddings" the closest similar
branded product in the UK is "Angel Delight" which generically are
called "whipped desserts" here.

Butterscotch anyone?


Butterscotch is one of my favorites...Something I notice isn't shared
with the majority of my family.
