I picked Fried Egg - I make a sandwich with a fried eggs on 2 pieces of toast, with some Texas Pete hot sauce. Yummers. I've never heard of lime marmalade, but I'm going to add that to my Sunday shopping list.

fried mushrooms is devine, spessialy fried penny buns (Boletus edulis) is very good on a loaf of bread and fried golden chantarelles on bread is one of the most devine things ever, with fried onions, salt, pepper and parcily   -------------

To further confuse things we also have "preserves" which appear to be just jam with a higher content of chunky fruits....

Highly recommend some freshly grated horseradish in the mix, too (has to be fresh, not the creamed rubbish). Not too much, or you'll smother the taste, but enough just to give it a bit of a kick. In the absence of fresh horseradish, wasabi paste works well, too

Yes....a clear jam " Jelly is a clear or translucent fruit spread made from sweetened fruit (or vegetable) juice and set using naturally occurring pectin " No gelatin. "Jelly can be made from sweet, savory or hot ingredients. It is made by a process similar to that used for making jam, with the additional step of filtering out the fruit pulp after the initial heating."

 Hoover is a trade name that we use as a generic name for all vaccuum cleaners and so it is with Jell-O.
We sometimes call jam preserve and sometime we call it conserve and some may even claim there is a difference based upon fruit content, but that's just a marketting ploy. ------------- What? |

The Tesco order of ascendance:
Jam = cheap (99.999% sugar 0.0001% fruit flavour/colouring - avoid) Preserve = more expensive (may have a poncey label & more than 25% fruit; acceptable - just) Conserve = most expensive (will have a poncey label & a half decent percentage of actual fruit - recommended) -------------
