They were too lazy to put the fruit pieces in the gelatin themselves. The Commonwealth nation's use jelly to mean gelatin while we use jelly to mean fruit spread.
The "serving suggestion" thing is just to cover themselves legally by indicating that the picture doesn't represent the contents of the package. The more reasonable cases are stuff like showing a bowl of cereal with strawberries on top and it just means "there aren't actually fresh strawberries and milk in this box, obviously." The less reasonable cases are things like this where they just show some other product and call it a serving suggestion because technically you could eat orange jelly with some oranges.

As for "jelly", it usually means sweet flavoured gelatin (you don't call plain gelatin "jelly") but you do also see products that I would be more likely to refer to as "jam" sold as "jelly" sometimes.

Finally, some fried grease! Chicken "mollejas" (gizzard). Again, a bit AFP even when well done. Those look like there's no meat in there.

I don't know, that looks pretty good to me.

Haha, oh god, I don't think there's really enough for a thread, and "Ask me about being raised by hippies who eat poo poo out of the woods like animals and won't let me watch The Simpsons or play with anything that looks like a gun" is too long to be a thread title. Also, my parents worked really hard and loved the poo poo out of us despite their general craziness and dysfunction.

There is no smell in this world more disgusting to me than canned cat food. I've smelled a dead man's rotting rear end in a top hat* and it was preferable.

I feel like this topic has come up before.

Blame folk on cardiac diets, or that need low sodium. They're unfortunately the hardest diets to account for, in terms of flavor, since salt = flavor, honestly. EXCESSIVE salt is the bad thing, but you need some salt in your food to have it taste like something.

But since we have to account for that diet, that means we can't really add much/any salt to food. So it's all relatively bland. And ask your nurse/the diet office, for extra salt. It'll help. at least.

I would read an A/T thread about this!

Fruit evolved specifically to be tasty so that animals will eat it and help plants disperse their seeds. Fruits are tastiest when they're perfectly ripe so that the seeds will have the best chance of survival.

Your relationship with food is the result of a couple of million years of careful evolutionary market testing and conditioning (Brightly colored packaging! Sweet & juicy! Great for eating on the go!) , compelling you to punch that idiot bee and steal its lunch.

Beef jerky. That could literally be my oven. Looks bad at first, but give it 6 or 8 hours, and it's prime eating. I buy the cheapest cheap-rear end cut of beef I can find, slice, marinate overnight, and dry in the oven. When I take it to work (3 pounds) it's usually gone the same day.

Yeah I'm gonna eat allll those delicious fruit flies

Seriously, anybody who's grown up near fruit trees of any decent variety can tell you that the bugs only cluster where the loot is good. If there's one pear tree where all the windfalls are like wasp landmines, that's the tree to pick from. If there's a big healthy fig just absolutely swarming with gnats, steal the gnats' lunch and hose off your bounty by the porch before you chow down. If there's a busted watermelon in the field and it's so covered with bees it makes your skin crawl, that's the vine to follow to the next big green ball.

You don't wanna eat the bugs, you wanna eat what the bugs are eating. Or more specifically, the things the bugs would eat if they could get through the rind.

This is true. My mother in law has a tree that grows the sweetest little peaches, and unsurprisingly those little peaches tend to be swarming with fruit flies a day or two after bringing a bag of them home.

I had an orange tree in the yard of my childhood home, but it eventually stopped growing oranges and started growing hornet nests instead.

Yeah he's super divisive, there's some sort of visceral sound thing that happens. It's kinda like how I get super creeped out and uncomfortable from ASMR videos, like I seriously can't watch those things for more than 15 seconds.
