I do not know the difference between any of these except jelly is short for gelatine which is made from animal.

There is a thread already for talking about gross food. In this same forum. There's your lifehack.

Gelatin is made from animal bones, but jelly is set with pectin which naturally occurs in citrus and apples. Marmalade is cooked down citrus with the peel intact. Preserves and jam are the most interchangeable though preserves are generally whole fruit.

Wandle Cax posted:Because several types of fresh bread you can buy from a bakery come unsliced? Is this really something you have never seen before. I've never seen a bakery without a bread slicer. Pre-packaged supermarket bread often comes unsliced, but if you're getting it straight from the bakery they can just slice it for you right then and there.

The_White_Crane posted:Because it goes stale much faster when it's sliced, since more of it is exposed to air. That's a reason someone might choose to buy unsliced bread, but The Door Frame was suggesting that people don't buy bread from the bakery because they do want it sliced. If you go to a bakery and you want sliced bread, you just buy it that way. It's one of the advantages of a bakery, you get to choose.

EXAKT Science posted:Is your butter cold? Don't bother nuking it for five seconds, or just leaving it out on the counter, just make a custom knife out of a bore pump! Ok, even if you were going to do this, which you shouldn't because it's stupid and terrible, why wouldn't you just drill holes into a regular butter knife? Why would you make an entirely new knife out of a machine that I've never heard of, that is probably much more expensive than any other solution to this problem that already has dozens of easy solutions? I have no idea what a bore pump is, and I refuse to learn, but on ebay they go for around 150 earth dollars each and I assume that cutting chunks out of them ruins them.

It is dumb, but he just used the bore pump because it was the nearest thick steel scrap he had left laying around.

The whole point of that is that it scrapes thin curls of butter off the cold butter, which you can easily do if your knife has any kind of scalloping or serration at all.

 Do you mean American Cheese, the pasteurized sliced squares, or cheese made in America? Two very different things. I'm going to guess you've never been to an actual American grocery store. I understand they tend to terrify and depress Europeans due to the large variety of items, and the low prices. It's ok though, with some effort on your part, you might be able to overcome your bowel liquefying terror, and come see that, much like beer, a wide variety of cheeses are made in the US.

Oh wait, of course, never mind. They probably carry the wrong kind of anime too. Anime and cheese are a lot alike. Some kinds might seem really disgusting and gross, but if you put yourself in the right frame of mind they're still perfectly palatable.

I prefer extra sharp cheddar, or a nice asiago. The point is, complaining about a particular variety of cheese when there are literally hundreds of others available is pretty much goonsay.txt

I always thought American cheese was really gross and stuck mostly to mozzarella or provolone for sandwiches, but someone convinced me to try Boars Head American cheese a few years ago and I was really surprised at how... good it tasted. I'd still go for pretty much any other cheese over it, but compared to the usual lovely Kraft singles that are basically a national embarrassment, it was awesome.
