Yes… differences…
It's sold in the shops in shops in South Africa as jellynot gello or jello or even gelatin.
Never tried tiramisu mousse before but I do generally like most things in particular in the confectionery / desset range.
I don't know how anyone couldn't like it. I had to stop making it because I couldn't control myself with it lol
The koeksisters look tasty! They look a bit like our twists (not exactly, but kinda). Once in a great while I make homemade glazed donuts. Very tasty.
Quite possibly. I haven't had the widest range of desserts or confectioneries but based on the "pancakes of doom"
I probably would no doubt like it lol.
Traditional Koeksisters – A traditional South African sticky donut treat that’s deliciously sweet, sticky, crunchy and drenched in syrup, laced with cinnamon, lemon and ginger. Absolutely perfect for snack or tea time and even breakfast.
Doss that sound something similar to your twists. Yes glazed donuts are tasty as is cream donuts and my most frequent dessert I buy apple pie slice

I have a lot of doom in my repertoire!
I'd definitely try Koeksisters. The twists here are usually just glazed. My local donut shop doesn't use cinnamon, lemon, or ginger on their twists. However, there are specialty donut shops in the big cities that have a much greater range and variety. And ones that look more like the Koeksisters.
I'll include a pic of the twists at my local donut shop. The other image is my homemade glazed donuts of doom...

Lol
all this talk about "doom" reminds me of two things one the insecticide called "Doom" in South Africa and also Indiana Jones And The Temple Of Doom lol...Thanks for the pics.
If you can't find it, in any of those shops in the big cities I have no doubt based on your capabilities that you can make some. The recipes are on the internet.
Then you will have tasted a bit of a South Africa. Lol but not our braais
Lol

Me make some? Are you suggesting Koeksisters of doom! Eh?
We have both jelly and jam here - and, they are different. The jelly you speak of in the quote above probably was jelly - which can sometimes jiggle or wobble a little in a way that is similar to 'Jello' (a product name) - just not nearly as much.
Also, jam spreads a lot more easily than jello.
I see thanks for sharing well I still am a little confused of what Survivor was referring to with peanut butter and jelly sandwiches admittedly lol.
Lol I had some jelly last night actually with custard
so, you get ghost pepper extract, and a medical srynge, and you ''inject'' the milk, tomatoes, orange juice, etc.After reading your experience it does seem you are more prone to be an "adrenaline junkie" than say me... I tend to be a more cautious person by nature and wouldn't do something for fun whereby I may potentially injure myself, without first thinking of the consequences. It is just my nature lol.
I guess everyone has different facets to themselves but in this respect I am diametrically opposite you and your spontaneous exploits of fun lol. I would rather make those "doomsday" pancakes / flapjacks you shared previously...
everything is '' of doom'' pepper eating contest! anyone need some milk to help with the heat?
Our "jelly" is more like your "jam" but instead of mashed fruit it is made with fruit JUICE. It's as spreadable as mashed fruit "jam" or "preserves" but not nearly as tasty. Grape jelly is most common because it's a lot easier to make grape jelly than grape jam.I see thanks for sharing well I still am a little confused of what Survivor was referring to with peanut butter and jelly sandwiches admittedly lol.

What you call "jelly" we call "jello," and yeah that would be a bit more difficult to spread on bread. Also much less tasty on bread.
Thank you for your clear explanation now I understand, very interesting if it jelly is not as tasty as jam / preservatives then why make it? Is it cheaper to produce? I would assume so…
It's the best way to get sweet grape spread on your bread. Grape jam, with whole mashed grapes, is... Problematic.Thank you for your clear explanation now I understand, very interesting if it jelly is not as tasty as jam / preservatives then why make it? Is it cheaper to produce? I would assume so…
The cost of jams which used to be cheap in South Africa isn't anymore. I think there is a grape jam but it would be expensive like fig jam.
It's just interesting... how different things are in other western countries...

We do say peanut butter and jelly! Except we usually say pb&j.
"What did you have for lunch?"
"I had a pb&j."
On a funny note, I'd like to mention that this conversation keeps reminding me of this old commercial...

Thanks for sharing is that because Americans in general like to abbreviate everything?
I can also share some old South African commercials that I grew up with like Chomp
Really
Yes it's the N3 (national road on the way to the KwaZulu-Natal province) and it is set to continue with snowfall next week from Monday.
