Jelly on bread are you serious? Peanut butter, vegemite or jam maybe but jelly sounds a little wierd I usually have mine in a bowl with ice-cream or fruit never on bread.

I believe that Americans refer to jam as jelly ( as in peanut butter and jelly ), so in this case it probably is jam on the toast.

I wonder what they call "jelly"?

That would be jello methinks.

Does this help ?

Jam, jelly, and Jello are three distinct things. Jam and jelly are similar (they are both used as sandwich spreads) except the jelly usually has a lot more gelitan; hence the expression, it must be jelly cause jam don't shake like that". Jello is simply a desert on it's own and does not work well with toast.

It is extremely common to have jelly on toast in North America.

I prefer peanut butter, I am going to try it in a resort toaster now, thanks for the idea.

in the 70s during an african famine there was a punk rock band in LA whose lead singer was called Jello Biafra...yuk, yuk...

I like jello but haven't had none in yonk's years...and jelly is something that the brits put on their roast lamb, notwithstanding the peanut butter and jelly application in the US...

I always prefer a berry jam with my toast and butter for a bit of sweet...

but, there is always the classic early 60s white falsetto and:

get up on your feet and moooove to the beat...yeah, with toast and jam...

Don't be so harsh. I liken it to a birth defect. The people you are referring to (notice I don't specify nationality) have a missing gene. It is called the "what if?" gene. i.e.:

What if there is a bus coming at us as I pass another bus at high speed on this blind corner?

What if a vehicle is coming down the lane I want to pull into without even looking?

and your example...

What if I spread jam on a piece of bread and then turn it on it's side or upside down?

Happens all around the world just seems to be an intense concentration of the defect in this general area...

Yeah, I cottoned onto that shortly after I arrived here. The idea that cause and effect are linked isn't a concept the average Thai has much of a grasp of. That's why it's bedlam out on the roads and why people just park up with a shopping trolley in the middle of the aisle at the supermarket and start chinwagging or trying to get on the skytrain before the others can get off or walking down the middle of the stairs at the BTS platform and banging out sms' etc.,etc., etc., etc., Once you've lived here for a while you develop tactics to work your way around the dumbness.

Sorry, but I keep getting this vision of a toaster high on jelly doing the latest Jelly Breakdance routine as it wobbles its way across the worktop.

Would help if the english language was used on here instead of one that is used by just one country.

Have you seen foreigners trying to deal with some things like chopsticks?

Rather racist don't you think, calling Thai stupid?

What does racism have to do with stupidity? Really, please enlighten me.

Which foreigners are you refferring to?? ALL of them?

Kind of narrow minded question/statement isn't it?

There are stupid people everywhere, saying its just these or just those people is ridiculous.

but ignoring the stupidity in the immediate vicinity is dangerous and unwise.

i think the more significant issue is the fact that your employee lied to you.

and how many of us are lied to on a daily basis, to hide the 'embarrasment' of inherent stupidity?

losing face to try and save face is the stupidest thing ever. but try explaining that to SOME people.

you're more likely to get told to look elsewhere than get a single logical response.

welcome to thailand op

Why would someone dig up a 4 month old thread about jelly just to have an arguement ?

Hope so, reminds me of th Lazlo letters if anyone's familiar, heres a link to a taste

http://www.sullivans...1dneycom/lazlo/

Its quite funny the measures companies have to take with their products to avoid being sued by idiots.

I suppose this Lazlo was just trolling them?

Funny.

PS Edit, lol just saw the post about this thread being so many months old, <<sigh>>, someone is playing vintage thread scavenger hunt.

Well said; I'm sure the Thais would have a field day laughing at the "farang" with that one.

Just curious to read their forums talking about dumb and frustrating yet generous and sometimes adorable farangs.

I think this proof that Thais are less smart than Farangs,

I have never been able to figure out why the dam_n stuff always ends up butter side down if you drop it on the floor.

These are the same people who laugh at you because you can't figure out how to open their little plastic bags of food secured by that inscrutable rubber band.

The day I'm to big to make my own toast, is the day I could buy a new toaster, and laugh about it.

Having faced similar issues, I was amazed and felt incredibly stupid when shown this..

rotating toaster is shit. get those small oven toaster. nothing beats caramelized sugar with butter on toast

Fancy some soldiers for your dippy egg too? and a tablespoon of sugar and/or msg.

How about a nice nap at 11am?

dippy eggs and soliders is nice but sugar or msg is wrong. fleur de sel and freshly ground pepper is the way to go. 11am nap sound nice, but you can keep the potty to yourself
