Sweet baby James. Don’t try to tell me how to speak my language when you don’t even know how to speak your language.
You do realize that British and Commonwealth English have “jelly” in the way American English uses the term yeah? Mint Jelly? Often served with Lamb? Ring any bells?
What you show on the left we call Jam- fruit Jam contains the entire fruit, if it only has the essence of the fruit, like juice etc. we call it jelly.
That way you know what you’re getting, fruit or no fruit, just by the name. Neat huh?
The thing on the right we either call “Jello” because when a specific brand gets popular enough we tend to just call all similar items by the brand name even if it isn’t another brand (or is common for us to call facial tissues “Kleenex” or cotton swabs “q-tips” for example); or we call
It “gelatin,” the same as your “gelatine” except spelled right.
Yes. Gelatin(e) is also what the powder is called used to make “jelly” aka “jello” as well as other dishes. So why do we call a flavored gelatin desert aka “jelly/jello” as “gelatin”?
Easy. We call custard custard even if it often has gelatin in it, so you aren’t going to be confused if someone says gelatin desert- it is not custard.
Secondly, most other dishes made with gelatin(e) are common in the US and even if they were, they wouldn’t be served as a desert or in the same general capacity as jello by any any sane person.
Thirdly, the term gelatin desert isn’t commonly used. Most people just call it Jello and the knock off brands usually label themselves “gelatin desert” but you’d still probably call it it jello.
