I must admit I have been eating the jello tubs, they come in. 3 pack (so one pack a day right?? :)) hubby is from Cali so we get some if the US stuff.

Must admit it never crossed my mind to put cream on it!! I've recently discovered I LOVE cream, so thank you! Your opening new doors for me :)

I will admit the different names/words can caused a muddle & still does for us sometimes (scrabble & upwords is a nightmare!! Haha). But we are a bilingual household hehe.

I'm not craving jelly & whipped cream! :)
Might have to do the ole jelly made with some lemonade too!

Oh, do you guys have the plain jelly? I've seen they do the little tubs in Tesco with fruit in also? Are these any good?

Im not sure if they are also ok, ive often wondered, you could always buy the packets and make it up putting fruit in the bottom of the bowl, as a kid we were never without jelly with fruit in it in the fridge :) and my old mum used to use diet lemonade too instead of water.

Im not sure about plain. i recently bought gelatine and vege gel....because im still collecting recipe items so if i see something in a shop i remember seeing in a recipe ill buy it and wait until it comes up again :) i think it may be non flavoured but really not sure

Customer helplines that use recorded menus that promise to put me through to the right person but never do - and being ill. Oh, and did I mention customer helplines :)

Surely the only thing to serve with Jelly is Cornish ice cream :wink:

When I were a lad, my mum always put an eel at the bottom of the trifle. Tell that to the kids today and they don't believe you! :grin:

I could say, "Life is just a bowl of jello" & appear more intelligent & smart, but I'm only a ****-eyed optimist....

Make your own from gelatine or vegegel & nas squash - then you can cut right down to one per day :)

Not keen on the pots myself, they've always seemed a strgange texture to me. Now the packets you make up yourself are a different mater entierly yum yum. Orange flavour served with a square of dark chocolate for a jaffa cake feel without the carbs, probably my favorite.

Or how about stripy jelly for a bti extra fun http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-vQ_VX1YJgPs/UCgEgxfV12I/AAAAAAAAAUM/NucPlH2bfjA/s1600/IMG_4921.JPG I added a bit of extra gelatin so they could be sliced. The clear layers are plain SF jelly, the others have a spoon or two of greek yoghurt stirred in.

I've gone off sugar free jelly as it was the only option offered to diabetics as a pudding when I was in hospital. Got a bit boring after 3 weeks !!

You've gone off jelly!! What??!!! Sacrilege! Don't give up hope, maybe just a little break from it and you'll be okay. The patience of jelly is infinite it will wait for you. (Unless the rest of us have eaten it all first. Oooops!:smile:
