No, but we do eat jelly and goat heart sandwiches. Mmm!
im british and i dont *blinks* dont americans eat "jelly" and peanut butter
lol they can pronounce "peanut butter" but the call jam jelly hahahaha
NO WE DON'T okay, I had this conversation with Chubbz a month or so ago, Americans DO have jelly and we DO have jam and they are DIFFERENT things and they are MADE DIFFERENTLY so STOP IT with your ignorant misconceptions!!!!!!!!!!!Quote:

Course thats where i'm from it's a dessert and i'm well aware of what Jelly is in America, similar to jam but not jam. I just find it amusing......i also find it gross to mix it with Penut Butter, but i guess I don't really have an opinion on it because I've never tried it.
As for eating chocolate and jelly.....thats not quite as bad concidering theyre both sweet food spreads. It's similar to having chocolate ice cream and jelly :)
And what exactly is a crumpet?
Really, Slade? Well, perhaps they are cousins, our different jellies.
:D
What I find offensive with these British wierdos is that they call their cigs, 'faggots'. I mean honestly, what the hell did they ever do to you.
I always thought Americans ate the whole peanut butter and jelly thing. But foa just crushed that theory <3
Besides kill you and cause cancer. I also hear that every single type of meat is called "hot dog".
EDIT: I eat PB & J, Rustay.
They're called fags, not faggots.
Although I call them "Something I'd rather you didn't smoke outside my window when my window is open, you smurfing jerk"
Come on guys dont fight over foodstuffs and what not, especialy if you havent tried it yourselves first. What may sound disgusting to you may acctually be really good. So i say come on and just try it. (not smoking but peanut butter and jam sandwiches, or jelly and icecream and what not (but make sure its theright stuff.))
BTW all you british folks, jelly in north america is exactly like jam only with out any pieces of fruit in it, its more of a smooth jam...
and ciggarettes were called fags, before the term faggot came to mean what we think it means today, infact faggot is a piece of wood... not that kind....
Only Americans say Jerk, you cigarette.Quote:

Your sport is soccer, but I think just to be spiteful we'll pronounce it "Saaaah-cuh". Our sport is football because...uh...we're America! America is never wrong!
lol wanker
True great American moral values out of a British mouth? Now I've seen it all.
Oh you didnt mean it? Fine, let me take this Psychotic shrine down off my closet you bastard
What about Winston-smurfing-Churchill?!Quote:

It's freakin' yummy is what's so great about it.
I hate fish.
Is there an alternative to fish and chips?
And describe a typical English breakfast; do you guys really eat stuff like the Famous Five did?
And does one pronounce 'Leicester' LESTER or what? That always confuses me.
You can get chicken and chips, sausage and chips, or Doner Kebab and chips which is basically a Pitta bread with salad and then horse brain/tongue/testicle. Chicken Doner Kebab is much nicer. However nothing works like a Doner Kebab on a friday night when you're quite inebriated.
And i'm going to assume you mean an English fry up, so it's like sausages, a fried egg or two, bacon, mushrooms/beans/tomatoes, fried bread/toast, black pudding (which is made with pigs blood and is very good indeed) and then whatever else you want.
And yes it's pronounced "lester"
All varieties of football are called football because they're played on feet, to differentiate it from polo, which is played on a horse. This has been a public service announcement to every single person that has ever said 'OMG BUT AMERICAN FOOTBALL ISN'T PLAYED WITH FEET LOLZ".
xD Thanks for that, KB.
Also...Dan has the best of both worlds. :irked: (Pig's blood? No wonder we don't have it in Malaysia!)
Lester lester lester lester.
Polo is played on Elephants as well, you racist. :mad2:
I'm not racist, I'm ethnically biased.Quote:

Now I must ask, what is a crumpet? Is it a type of bread? Is it like a muffin? Is it like a cupcake? I need to know! I have always heard people say: "Like some cheese and crumpets?" and I was always confused by it. :(
I know someone who used to eat ketchup sandwiches.
But I think that's just a gross thing, not American or British, or anything. As much as I love ketchup...yuck.
Now, what's a REALLY gross food is a Taco. Cheese, bread, cow meat, hot sauce, letace, and sour cream. o_o Yuck!
Though, I love taco's. >_> They are tastey!
Oh I never thought this thread would explode like this but the difference between jelly and jam is that jelly shakes and jam doesn't.
Thanks for making a topic about food when I'm suffering from food poisoning, jerks.
I hope you all catch cholera and die.
...but more importantly, that they'll have tea and crumpets for a starter, then on to the fish and chips, and finally a nice course of bangers and mash to top it all off. Afterward, they all go down the pub to have a pint.
P.S: No we don't
EDIT: Well possibly the scottish but they don't count
I call it Lie-chest-her because When I lie on top of Psy her chest hurts.Quote:

I knew the cigarettes = fag thing among other things. What I never understood kidney pies and stuff like that, until recently. I always hoped in my heart that kidney pies just had kidney-shaped lima beans in them and not actually kidneys but... :(
How DOES one pronounce leicester anyways?Okay, Lester. xD That's what you get when you're too tired to read the thread.
Wrong. Review Foa's post.Quote:

Also, peanut butter and jam/jelly sandwiches are fantastico! They're lovely, although adding crisps and bananas as well may be a bit much. :cry:
I'm merely a dainty creature. :(Quote:

If you want to know a typical English day then most people wake up in the chuffin' Day's Dawnin', 'ave their full english, get on the bleedin' Dog and Bone, Scapa Fla daahhhn the market in their Jam Jar, get the shoppin', come Hammer and Tack Pope in Rome ter the trouble and strife, 'ave me Lilian Gish and jockey's whips, Kettle and Hob tv, then Scapa Fla up the apples 'n' pears ter uncle ned.
After that you'll be cream crackered. :(Quote:
