which is better

well it's OBV what i'm going to say innit! though vegan jelly isn't as transparent or brightly-coloured as its gelatine based counterpart, and the texture is different - slightly slightly grainy and a bit "meltier" as well. the flavour is nicer too - more natural and not as obviously stuffed full of artificial wotsits. also it has no dead animals in it! i've never tried making it into a mould though. i may well do so! with fruit! and mint!

Bah, dead cow all the way.

anyhoo lots of the jelly in this country list "pork gelatine" as an ingredient so it's DEAD PIG INNIT!

Mmmmm it just gets BETTER!

You know what, I am not particularly fond of jelly and ice cream! When the ice cream melts onto the jelly it is not a nice meld of textures, the slimy jelly and cold liquidy ice cream... on saying that, if anyone were to offer me a bowl right now I wouldn't turn it down! I think there may still be jelly in Toms fridge. Wot a thort.

Ahahahaha Sarah is coming round to my 'all foodstuffs must be separated on the plate' way of thinking. I too thought that the jelly and icecream combo was significantly less than the sum of its parts. Also I hate melty icecream and always make sure to eat mine very quickly so it doesn't have time to melt.

dead cow all the way - what's the fucking use of jello if noone gets hurt?

artificial wotsits = numnum. Isn't like the vegan stuff artificial and made of nasty non-pig chemicals and whotnot?

Sarah, did you get my email?

JELLY AND CUSTARD!

Jelly and ice cream, agreed, super lame.

But Jelly and Custard is the only way to go. And Sprinkle some hundreds and thousands on top, add some sponge cake...and you know what, you've got a TRIFLE!

I don't really look at what is in the jelly(o), so I can't really judge the difference between vegan and dead moo.

Jelly is much more fun to play with in the packet. I've been known to randomly grope it in the supermarket. Ice cream plus jelly was disappointing at small people parties, but it was so hyped they we craved it anyway.

Oasis = Jelly and Ice Cream

― Graham, Friday, 5 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I have now recovered sufficiently from the image of Graham groping jelly in Asda to say that custard is one of the many things I don't like very much. And also when my mum makes trifle it goes like this: 1. layer of cakey stuff soaked with booze 2. layer of fruity stuff that IS NOT JELLY but is in fact proper fruit 3. layer of custard but it's cold so just about OK plus you can mash it into the cake & stuff to make it bearable 4. layer of cream + decorations if appropriate.

Emma's mums trifle = my mum's trifle = korrekt trifle. THERE IS NO OTHER.

― RickyT, Friday, 5 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Graham. Yes. I have replied.

― Sarah, Friday, 5 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Ahhh, me and RickyT are trifle siblings. Or something. My mum will not be making me trifle for a long time I fear as during our conversation on the phone last night she alluded to my weight about 47 times and when she deems I should be dieting she always makes cheesecake / crumble for pud so I won't be tempted. Thanks mum.

Sorry for sounding quite harsh but I am already under pressure right now and don't need any more.

― Sarah, Friday, 5 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Sob (I need a drink)

― Sarah, Friday, 5 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

TRIFILISTS!

― jel --, Friday, 5 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

(I wrote you a quick reply)

― Graham, Friday, 5 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

If we didn't keep killing cows for food (preferably not just jelly, as it is called in English) every house would be infested with dozens of them. Imagine it.

― Martin Skidmore, Friday, 5 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

It'd be like a crap Eddie Izzard sitcom.

― RickyT, Friday, 5 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

fucking lizzard - they are everywhere - 12 feet, 6 feet, 12 inches...
