To be fair, I do think the guy in the video was actually trying to make that distinction. (i.e., I think he was trying to explain that the Jell-O brand pudding cup that he was holding up was not the same thing as a gelatine dessert even though it said “Jell-O” on the label of the cup.)

My family comes from the south, where they held onto a lot of British dishes - Yorkshire pudding, trifle, porridge, chutney*, Horehound candy confections, etc. :woman_shrugging:t4: I am glad they rejected beans on toast, though. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:
