So, having said all this, it has to be JAM, every time 😛
"The terms jam and jelly are used in different parts of the English-speaking world in different ways. In the United States, both jam and jelly are sometimes popularly referred to as "jelly", whereas in the United Kingdom, Canada, India and Australia, the two terms are more strictly differentiated. In Australia and South Africa, the term jam is more popularly used as a generic term for both jam and jelly.
To further confuse the issue, the term jelly is also used in the UK, South Africa, Australia, India and New Zealand to refer to a gelatin dessert, known in North America as jello, derived from the brand name Jell-O."
Originally posted by Suziannei was going to say something, thought about it and realized by that logic i'd have to call the filling of a cold set cheesecake a 'jelly'... not sure about that one.

'anything that's set by a gelatin, natural or otherwise should be considered a jelly'

Here's a sandwich for you. Fried egg sandwiches. Fry the egg, yolk slightly runny, mayonaise, mustard on the bread, cheese on the egg, let cheese melt a bit then crunch potato chips over the cheese. Uhm uhm, I loved those in college. It's the perfect hangover food.
