I don't like Gyros, but I love Kebabs. Whilst living in England I have noticed it's always called a Kebab, but Gyros are of Greek origin whilst Kebabs are Middle Eastern, and they are also different in general. In the NE US where I'm from people refer to the food accordingly (idk about everywhere).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3794697684312522467.post-46697517421973433332014-12-16T16:05:22.984-05:002014-12-16T16:05:22.984-05:00I think we just call it all jam, be it cheap or fa...I think we just call it all jam, be it cheap or fancy.SynthPhasehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03879827094476021761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3794697684312522467.post-76955558022509847562014-09-03T07:14:44.407-04:002014-09-03T07:14:44.407-04:00had to laugh at digestives vs. graham crackers. to...had to laugh at digestives vs. graham crackers. too funny.Liz Heltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12495804058653058330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3794697684312522467.post-91999909444130808722014-06-09T11:06:52.954-04:002014-06-09T11:06:52.954-04:00Wait--the British call gelatin "jelly"? ...Wait--the British call gelatin "jelly"? As a semantic nickname, that makes sense, but then what do they call jelly? You know the cheaper stuff that's not jam or preserves, i.e. grape jelly that kids like to use for peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, or people put on toast? American jelly is made with pectin, not gelatin. Flavored gelatins, like the brand "Jell-O" are usually used for desserts, although sometimes unflavored gelatin is used for things like aspic. <br /><br /><br />macsnafuhttp://macsnafu.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3794697684312522467.post-86573110529562457382013-04-26T12:13:44.602-04:002013-04-26T12:13:44.602-04:00Stationery is another trans-Atlantic minefield...a...Stationery is another trans-Atlantic minefield...and pants. <br /><br />Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04868311511462835246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3794697684312522467.post-85222473105690269972013-04-21T09:57:21.162-04:002013-04-21T09:57:21.162-04:00Haha!
