Nope, it isn't.

Wait, Jello is not like Jelly. Jelly is Jam without the fruit, just the juice jellied like jam, canned, and you eat it on toast mostly. Jello is sugar and gelatin that you first poor boiling water into, mix, and then cold water, and put it in the fridge to cool for a few hours, then it is wobbly, mostly solid and delicious. I imagine it would be great with oreos, cause the only thing better than sugar is more sugar.

I personally like rocky road ice cream and a glass of orange or ruby red juice with it. I like french fries dipped in chocolate shakes too.

Jello is the US brand name for a gelatin dessert, which is called jelly in the UK. So yes they are the same. Jelly in the US is jam in the UK.

It's unusual around here. And I'm fine with a little salt and pepper on my eggs. I've put jalapenos in eggs, but habanero and Scots Bonnet are way too hot for my taste. I've sprinkled a little Tabasco on them or Texas Pete. But I'm betting the Marie Sharp's is out of my league too. I can only take so much heat.

Mountain Dew is like Sundrop. If you don't have Sundrop, MD is a sweet soda. Orange Juice is used in the production.

Gatorade is a sports drink (note, not energy drink), comes in a variety of flavors.

The major difference between Mountain Dew and all other sodas isn't that it's sweet, but that it contains far more caffeine than any other soda, Coke included.

Joe - I like jalapeños, too, for the flavour, but they aren't very hot, so even when you use jalapeños, you need to chip up some habanero to go with it. I raise West Indian Red habanero in my garden, not having had great luck with Scots Bonnet, for some reason. I have to buy them at the market. I pick four or five peppers every morning to cook with or chip up on a sandwich. When you've grown accustomed to hot pepper, nothing else will satisfy, and raw pepper helps both digestion and memory.

Tabasco was one of the sauces we had on the table when I was a child. It was my favourite, mostly because it was so plentiful. My father became friends with the McIlhenny family who make the sauce when he was seconded for a while to the Louisiana Dept of Agriculture. He would bring home a case of Tabasco whenever he went to Avery Island to do field inspections. When I was in Scouts a fresh, unopened bottle of Tabasco went into my kit when I packed for a camping trip. Today when I'm able to find Tabasco I'm disappointed because I've grown accustomed to much hotter sauces.

I like the jalepeno chocolate bars - unusual but complementary flavors

I also enjoy beer with orange juice

I ordered some Thia food once that had these little skinny dark red peppers in it. People who know better don't eat them. They're so hot they just flavor the food left whole. I chomped on one and almost went through the roof. Nearly spoiled my meal.

Otherwise, it's really a case of getting used to them, eating a little at a time and working your way up to the hotter peppers. I think it was Somoza who said that about democracy -- like you can't give a baby a whole pepper at once or it will kill him. Or something like that. Heh.

Nice connection to Tabasco sauce. I like it quite a bit. You probably wouldn't like Texas Pete. It's not even as hot, but it has a really nice fresh pepper taste. It's good for cooking -- I'll put a drop or two in spaghetti sauce to give it a little tang.

I see chile infused chocolate bars by Ghirardelli or Lindt, one of the two - or maybe both.

Sounds like poor man's mimosa.

I do enjoy mashed potatoes and bacon put together. For that matter, bacon goes with everything. I once tried bacon on my pizza... it was very interesting.

For something enlightening, there's always key-lime cookies with white chocolate.

Wondered if that might be the case, but then how do you differentiate what we call jam and what we call jelly in the US, in the UK?

Kinda like 7UP and juice, but beer. So, what kind of beer? For cheap beer, it'd probably improve the flavor, for expensive beer though, I wonder...

I make my own pizza, crust and everything. I sometimes use bacon as a topping. It's especially good on white pizza. To me, it doesn't go as well with the tomato sauce.
