> [@Left\_Hand\_of\_Dorkness](#): > > Okay, surely this is trolling. What is WRONG with Europe that you produce the best wines in the world, but haven’t ever had grape jelly? Every two-year-old in the United States has had grape jelly. It’s the Nutella of the toddler set. It’s like, there’s normal PB&J, and then there’s PB&J with anything other than grape jelly. Seriously, fix this. You might be surprised to discover that most of the rest of the world hasn’t ever even had PB, much less PB&J! It’s only in America that we see fit to regularly dose our children with sugar-on-sugar sandwiches. ---

Only if I want to be picking seeds out of my teeth all day. I get Smucker’s brand, and it’s non-chunky. I refuse to eat blackberries or anything made with blackberries, precisely because I don’t want to spend the rest of the day picking the seeds out of my teeth. ---

strawberry? blackberry? grape abominations? piffle. chokecherry jelly, made from chokecherries hand-picked under the Saskatchewan blazing sun, on the banks of the Mighty Wascana. that’s the ticket! ---

Marmalade is the only way. Seville orange or lime, please. Jam is for lightweights, and “jelly” for foreigners, or children’s parties. ---

> [@tomndebb](#): > > Just wait until the Nutella and Vegemite constituencies get here. Vegemite is Satan’s toejam. Now Marmite, that’s the ticket. Although for toast, it’s hard to choose between Marmite and [anchovette](http://sarocks.co.za/2007/05/11/the-tastes-of-home-pecks-anchovette/). Do other countries (other than the UK, with their “Gentleman’s Relish”) have this style of fish paste? Because you’re missing out if you don’t. It is divine. Of course, it goes without saying that Nutella is the bomb. Although on toast is not [its best use](http://www.nigella.com/recipes/view/nutella-cake-158). ---

My dog ate half a bowl of strawberries and blueberries yesterday. I’m sure he’d have something to sway about this. (does he have to have his own account to post here?) ---

At the moment, we have open some wild-blueberry “spreadable fruit,” which is quite lovely. ---

> [@Morgenstern](#): > > My dog ate half a bowl of strawberries and blueberries yesterday. I’m sure he’d have something to sway about this. (does he have to have his own account to post here?) Grapes can be dangerous for dogs to eat and now I’m concerned that blueberries might be as well (but I am not speaking from knowledge on dog blueberry interaction.) I hope I am wrong, but it might not be a bad idea to investigate it. ---
