Talk:Jelly

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Is it bad for you if you eat raw jelly that comes in packets without diluting it?? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 195.92.168.175 (talk • contribs) .

I used to do that quite a bit, but whether or not it affected me is for others to judge! Loganberry (Talk) 01:42, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] All over the place

This article is a mess. It's not a proper disambiguation page, but it covers lots of different types of jelly, including some that aren't foods (despite what the bit at the top says).... and ones that are foods, but are still fundamentally different things (e.g. Jello vs. Royal Jelly).

There are three disambiguation lines in two different places, and the gelatin dessert article covers the same ground as this (more general) article is apparently trying to.

In addition, it doesn't seem to cover any of the various areas particularly well (e.g. the gelatin dessert section, again).

Any suggestions before I turn this thing into a proper disambig page?

I have returned jelly (food) to the title Jelly as every link to jelly refered to this meaning. I have moved the disambiguation to Jelly (disambiguation). This is primary use disambiguation and the principle of least surprise/fewest clicks. Rmhermen 15:31, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
Okay, that's a fair point, but you still haven't addressed the issue that Jelly is a term for two different types of food; one is gelatine-based, and the other is a type of jam (or depending on the user, synonymous), i.e. pectin-based. I believe that these are two different concepts and warrant separate articles, so which do you consider should be the default "Jelly" article? Fourohfour 16:06, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Mayhaw jelly

Why does this article mention mayhaw jelly as an exception to the U.S. usage? In my experience, mayhaw jelly isn't a dessert any more than grape jelly is. Kafziel 20:22, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Jell-O Shot

Whomever wrote this section sounds like a square. "So it cannot be spilled and consumed quickly"? Wtf? I'm not sure that the boys around the frat are concerned if their countertops get a little sticky. I demand the author consume three shot immediately.

[edit] Grass jelly

I have add grass jelly behind seaweed, I am not sure that name are correctly but more correctly are leaf jelly = a jelly made by leaf, but there discusion and arguing in grass jelly talk so right now i used temporary that name grass jelly in this area until final discusion be done.

[edit] Reason for page deletion

converted article to a redirect as per decision of merge discussion at Talk:Gelatin dessert#Verdict: merge

[edit] Why is this targeting Jelly (disambiguation)

I see the discussion and explanation for merging articles. What I don't see is why this redirect targets [[Jelly (disambiguation)]]. To me, [[Fruit preserves#Jelly]] (like [[Jelly (fruit preserves)]]) makes far more sense. — Randall Bart (talk) 17:50, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

Jelly can have many meanings, hence the disambiguation page. The primary issue was with the North American (Jelly=Fruit Preserves) meaning versus the Commonwealth meaning (Jelly=Gelatin Dessert), however there were other problems that existed.

[edit] Gelatin dessert, Fruit preserves, Jam and Jelly edits by Milk-maid

Milk-maid (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · block user · block log) has made a series of moves with these articles undoing the results of the discussion at Talk:Gelatin dessert#Merge request. It is her opinion that they should reverted to the original articles using only Commonwealth English references and naming. When the discussion and its results were pointed out to she dismissed it and moved them anyway.

Please keep an eye on these articles to prevent her from doing so again.
