I don’t know how to state the question. My other question (Origin of PB and J ) reminded me of this question I wanted to ask.
What fruits and Vegetables ( And I guess we can trow in beans peas legumes and nuts) have some exclusive – or dominant claim of ownership – to some “sauce” or semi solid dip or dressing?
For example
Tomatoes make Ketchup.
Avacados make Guacamole.
Grapes enjoy a dominant claim to Jelly.
What am I missing?
Yes, Catsup/Ketchup means many different things around the world; it’s only in America primarily that we consider Catsup/Ketchup to be a pickled-tomato sauce.
And jelly is dominated by grapes?? In what alternate universe? Have you never had Straberry Jelly (as opposed to the jam)? Or Mint Jelly (particularly tasty with lamb)? Or any of a dozen other varieties of jelly? Jelly is simply jelled fruit juice, after all.
I won’t agree with grapes being the one fruit thought of for jelly. I don’t believe most people think of apples when thinking of jelly either. Apples are in almost all jelly, because pectin for commercial use is derived mostly from apples, and next by citrus.
Fruit leather is mostly apple pulp with some other fruit juice added.
Although I’m aware of Grape jelly from hearing about it on the internet, it’s pretty much completely unheard of here in the UK (and, I suspect, most of the world, except the USA).
Jelly here is predominantly bramble (blackberries) or raspberry - but many others are available.
