I know that! I'm just making a comment!! Everyone else seems to call it jam, we are the ones who call it jelly!

>Yeah. I realised after I'd sent it that it wasn't you who'd 1st made the jelly comment :-)

>>The commercial must just run over here. It's for Polaner All Fruit. I table of very proper English people are having tea with a very stereotyped American. Everyone says, "Please pass the Polaner All Fruit." Then he suddenly blurts out, "Please pass the jelly!" in a very country-mid-western accent. Everyone else at the table is taken aback, and one older lady acts like she's going to faint.

>When I said "which jelly" I didn't mean what is the brand name; I meant English or American interpretation: i.e. fruit preserve or something that goes in a dessert (like trifle).

>>>That didn't answer my question. And as for the commercial - well we don't get it here. Which jelly does it refer to?
