I think most people here call the wobbly stuff eaten as desert Jell-o or gelatin. Sounds like it probably started out as jelly though. What do you call the fruit spread that is not preserves?

This is what we have here in Portland. I don't think anyone calls them bubblers unless they are referring to their proper name. Simon Benson was a Norwegian immigrant who first lived in Wisconsin before moving to Oregon. Guess it is a Wisconsin thing

Yes, we're the same - Jello would be a dessert. Jams or jelly would be what we would put on toast.
Hubby eats his french fries with mayonnaise but apparently that is very common in the Netherlands.Originally Posted by taterbug
My grandma used to mix mayo with pinto beans....but she was born and bred in Tennessee!
Mayo with black eyed peas and pepper sauce for me please!
I love french fries dipped in a mixture of mayo and ketchup
You'd love Utah then, most fast food places here have "Fry Sauce" and that is exactly what it is, mayo and ketchup.Originally Posted by Bonnie1965

I lived in SLC for a couple of years as a teen. Here a few places have fry sauce but not many. My first "real" job was at DerWeinerschnitzel (sp?)on State Street in SLC. Maybe that's where we learned of it?
