Last night I watched one of my favorite shows - "Are You Being Served?" The episode was where Mrs. Slocombe was hit with a gold ball and lost her memory. At ~17:00 in, the staff are in the Canteen and Mrs. Slocombe says "I want a jelly!" I'm trying to determine what a jelly is. Is that like Jell-o? There is talk in the scene about custard, which I am assuming is like pudding. This is one of those weird, "stuck in my head" things today. Hopefully someone can help! |

Jelly is a clear but colorful wibbly wobbly fruit spread. Jell-o is another name for it. Custard is a yellow substance poured all over apple pies etc. It's not a pudding.  |

Not true. Custard can be a pudding (dessert). Jelly is not a spread, it is a form of dessert. I think, Pussycat, that you are thinking of what the Americans would call "jelly".

from Wikipedia...
Regional names
In many of the Commonwealth nations, gelatin desserts are called jelly.
In the United States, gelatin desserts are sometimes colloquially called jello or sometimes gelatin, whereas "jelly" is colloquially a fruit preserve.
In Canada, as far as I know, I've NEVER heard it referred to as such. Gelatin desserts or Jell-o are one thing, Jelly is a clear version of Jam. (My mom used to make all kinds of jams and jellies. Sure do miss them. mmm)
