Preference: Strawberry vs grape

Anonymous
Hmm..I grew up on strawberry preserves because that is what my dad liked, but I go both ways and I like both. My twins are split, one likes grape and one likes strawberry and my wife doesn't like either so for our house, it's a draw.

For jelly, grape all the way. It's a classic.

Yes, it does. In the trash bin.


+1 lol.

I'm a Strawberry Jam girl!


Brit PP here - LOL! What is the "jam" "jelly" difference, anyway? Are they actually different things here or some people say one or the other? "Jelly" to me is jello


Jam for the Queen

jelly for low class

BTW, Brits are kicking ass at Rio.


Jelly has gelatin in it. Jam does not.

PB&J was always made with grape jelly growing up. However, this would never be spread on toast. That would always be a jam, probably strawberry flavored.

If choosing between the two, DEFINITELY strawberry. But now as an adult I even branch out to blackberry or raspberry jam.

Never marmalade! Ick.

I hate jelly, but overall would pick strawberry as a flavor over grape bc some grape things taste like cough syrup to me.

However, growing up, I only knew of grape jelly. I still just assumed that everyone ate grape jelly. I knew strawberry existed, but didn't know people ate it.

I was curious what annual sales would show. It turns out that for 2015, 48.11% of all jams/jellies/etc sales were strawberry and 40.7% were grape, so you do have the top two flavors (by a lot) here.

I was raised with grape jelly being the only option. I had no idea other flavors existed. Now I find all flavors are better than grape. My favorite is raspberry but strawberry is lovely, too.

Strawberry.

When I was a kid all we had was grape because we had a grape vine and each my mom turned the harvest into jelly. Can't stand the stuff any more.

Did you kids not have apple jelly?


Is apple jelly different than apple butter?


Grape. Strawberry is for the 1%'ers. Apple Jelly? You are perverse.


No. Currant jelly is for the 1%ers. Strawberry for the top 25. Grape for the godless heathens (like me).


I'm the apple jelly poster. It was pretty common up in NH where they grow the best apples. We had it in the cafeteria and everyone's moms made it. Now I'm all about the strawberry.

Not true. We did not grow up with money and we had strawberry. My mom made it each summer when strawberries were in season, and we ate it all year on our generic Wonderbread.
