  You bought vegetables of your own accord, and not a ready meal in sight! I'm so proud :) Also, are you so american now that you refer to jam as 'jelly' or did you actually mean jelly, as in the jelly you get at children's parties, often with ice-cream?

  Wonder Bread? Seriously? Blech.
  
  That shopping list is pretty low on the protein, young man.

  Isn't there a difference between jam and jelly? I think of jam as being the thicker, preserve-y kind of spread, whereas jelly is closer to jello in consistency, all bouncy. That's how they label them in the supermarkets here, anyway.

  Oh lord. Okay.
  
  Jello. Called jelly in the UK. Bouncy, transparent, endorsed by Bill Cosby.
  
  Jelly. Made from fruit but no fruit bits, transparent, spread on toast. Not common in the UK, but probably just called "jam" and regarded as cheap jam.
  
  Jam. Made of fruit, translucent or opaque but still homogenous in consistency.
  
  Marmalade. Made of fruit, contains visible bits of fruit, semi-transparent. Same name both countries.
