Jelly and Biscuits ? (Page 1 of 2)

LOL Old Doll, I'll give it a shot.

Jelly (from wiki): Same as or similar to:

Fruit preserves refers to fruit, or vegetables, that have been prepared, canned or jarred for long term storage. The preparation of fruit preserves traditionally involves the use of pectin. There are various types of fruit preserves made globally, and they can be made from sweet or savory ingredients.

- Similar to "Jam" or "marmalade"

Biscuits - Also from wiki:

In American English, a "biscuit" is a small form of bread made with baking powder or baking soda as a leavening agent rather than yeast. (Biscuits, soda breads, and corn bread, among others, are sometimes referred to collectively as "quick breads" to indicate that they do not need time to rise before baking.)

Biscuits are extremely soft and similar to scones; in fact, many recipes are identical. In the United States, there is a growing tendency to refer to sweet variations as "scone" and to the savory as a "biscuit", though there are exceptions for both (such as the cheese scone). A sweet biscuit served with a topping of fruit and juice is called shortcake. In Canada, both sweet and savoury are referred to as "biscuits", "baking powder biscuits" or "tea biscuits", although "scone" is also starting to be used.

Biscuits are a common feature of Southern U.S. cuisine and are often made with buttermilk. They are traditionally served as a side dish with a meal, especially in the morning. As a breakfast item they are often eaten with butter and a sweet condiment such as molasses, light sugarcane syrup, sorghum syrup, honey, or fruit jam or jelly. With other meals they are usually eaten with butter or gravy instead of sweet condiments. However, biscuits and gravy (biscuits covered in country gravy) are usually served for breakfast, sometimes as the main course.

A picture is worth 1,000 words - Here's a photo of a bacon, egg & cheese biscuit. Substitute jelly for the B, E & C and you've got a Jelly Biscuit!

TRIFLE - Place in the bottom of a bowl some stale, dry sponge cake. Pour on a liquid (derived from boiling bones) that sets to a quivering, shaking mass and cover the cake. Fruit can be added before it sets. When it sets cover with custard and top with whipped cream. DISGUSTING!

Well Now,

There was i expecting a simple answer!
Yes i have discovered as Bonedaddy
says,  Jello!  We here call this Jelly, hence the confusion.    Topdown we do have preserves and jams, which we use on bread or toast of a morning.

I was trying to picture others putting Jello on same!!.

As for Rogers Trifle! Well all i can say is " You have never eaten one of mine.

Delicious, even if i say so myself.. Stale Dry sponge cake???? never!!,

I have always baked my sponge for this treat.  Soaked gently in Sherry or Irish mist. Covered in Jello {Strawberry} Topped with  Delicious creamy home made custard
with fresh vanillapods. Then Topped again with lightly fresh whipped cream.

I have seen grown men cry eating my trifle so good is it,  and had proposals of marriage for same

Ps. Daddycool, they sure aint talking about the same Bickies as us.

Hey you folks, this guitar forum is full of folksy "Gourmets"!
Since NELA is now serving up the grits, here's a description of my first encounter with this delicious stuff: I'm driving from Chicago to Texas in my beat-up station wagon. Six o'clock in the morning, close to Cairo (Illinois), I spot a diner (roadside restaurant for poor folks). As I enter the tiny place, I realize that I'm the only white guy in this place filled with hard-working African-Americans. Regardless, the waitress takes my order for the special breakfast (Special = cheap), and asks me "Do you want grits with that?".

Mind you, I've only been in these here United States for three months... and of course have no idea what "grits" is. But when it arrived steaming on my plate, butter on top, I fell in love with what we call "the Delta", the South, and the cradle of the Blues. Been here since 1980, grits, southern belles, funky accents and all.

Now I'm really waiting for our celtic ambassadors to give us their view on what makes America great: GRITS.

Nela!

Grits i always thought was "Corn bread"? Never did have it in the States.

Tennessee Strat, now says he had it with butter.? so it probably is a type of bread?.

I think i was born on the wrong side of the planet!  I love Cinnamon,
pancakes, southern style chicken, cajun style cooking.
But heres a tip for barbecuing Chicken... Marinade your chicken in

White lemonade, / soda / pop . { Sprite/or 7 up/ tumeric/ curry powder.   Delicious. My childhood friends hubby is a spanish chef. He gave me this tip.

So good on the barbie.

Im afraid to ask what Mayhaw Jelly is?

But i know the feeling of toe curling.   It happens me all the time reading a good book in bed.

Ps. theres 2 lemons in the post for ya Nela.  Split in half and suck vigorously!!

There to wipe away the  ten minute smile from last night

Life in the old dog yet eh Nela!!  go on ya boy ye. 

BUALADH BOS FOR NELA!!!!!   { round of applause }
Keep the grits warm im on me way.

Bean Deas!

Tennessee Strats,

What makes America great for me?   Well i know they dont all feel the Irish are Ignorent louts or are only good for road making. 

I have the deepest respect for America and its citizens.. America has been more then good to members of my extended family. Here on this island theres sometimes a begrudgery feeling towards someone who decides to do well for them selves.
In America my family were encouraged. One in his thirties is a Hot shot lawyer in New York. Another in his thirties a director of a world wide bank. Another has her own show and runs a local Tv station and so on... This would never have happened to them here. You have to be middle aged and nearly washed up before you can have such high achievements.
Another had all of his college and living  paid for from a benefactor. Whom we have met which is unusual.. She has always kept in touch with him. But he did so well she invited us  all to dinner.  An absolute pleasure i might add.

I can have tickets to Games,   Madison Square Gardens, gosh so many oppurtunities are at my disposal when i visit the States..

American People! I love them. They have an honesty about them. An Openess
to talk to all and share.

They also love my country.  There generosity to us by spending there holdays here and there hard earned dollar back in the  lean years cannot be forgotten
here..

Céid  Míle Fáilte  is a very honest welcome to all Americans to this wee Emerald.

Sure! Cranberries, pancakes, spare ribs, buswiser, yankee candles, syrup,
New york Rhuben sandwhiche, Yum. Just a smidgeon of all that i love American.
