J is for Jelly - the sort you have at a kids party or Sunday tea.
My Mum had a glass, rabbit shaped mould and she'd make a blancmange (usually strawberry) in it and a lime, green jelly in a separate bowl. We kids had the job of tipping the jelly out onto a big plate.....big squelchy, suckering sound ending in a satisfying plop. We'd chop up the jelly to make "grass" and the pink blancmange rabbit would sit in the middle of the "grass".
Sometimes the jelly didn't set very well and that was usually because we had scrounged a jelly cube, before the hot water was added to melt it. Used to love eating jelly cubes - I bet they don't taste the same now!
