  1. Did you know! The difference between sauce and jam (jelly for y'all illiterates) is not determined by their constituents (sweet or savoury) or their method of delivery (squeezed or spread), but in fact by their method of manufacture! Sauces are made by liquefying ingredients before combining them, whereas jams are made by mashing up solid and liquid ingredients into a sort of sumptuous slurry!

    As such, 'chocolate sauce' is indeed a sauce despite being sweet, tomato sauce (ketchup y'all) is a sauce even when stored in a jar and spread with a knife (people do this), and marmalade is in fact a sauce due to being made via liquefaction of ingredients! In fact, if you shake a can of baked beans until it all mushes together into tasty mulch, you have yourself a technical jam!

    Also, if knowledge was power I'd be a street magician. :wau:

      JellO from being short for gelatin. Gelatin likely derived in part from Keratin or likewise.

       Because, you know, gelatin is made from horse hooves or bone marrow. 

       Makes you wonder how they make these things in a world pretty much ruled by aforesaid livestock.

      Cow hooves, Widders. Horses are not legal livestock in many countries. The same way you can't sell horse meat.

      Eh, both are ungulates. Do I strike any of you as a scale of accuracy?
