Food that Takes the Shape of Its Container

People in the US don't eat it, either, but we manage to buy a lot of it for Thanksgiving.

did you see the jello one? that was mighty perrty.

I LOVE CRANBERRIES FROM A CAN! SO GOOD!

We kind of DO eat cranberry sauce from a can, but it doesn't look like that!
The cranberry sauce I have in my fridge is in a jar like jam, and causes great confusion when I actually think it IS jam (jelly to you Americans). Also what's with the jelly (Jell-o... ack this is confusing)? Doesn't it come in cubes and you add hot water to it?
If not then there is something WRONG with the universe. That's the whole point of having jelly!

It tastes good and its healthy too. I dont mash it up and get all fancy. Just slice it and serve, <<<<>>>>

I love cranberry sauce from a can too! I even buy it when its not Thanksgiving. The can shape makes it easy to slice, but ever since Oceanspray changed the can, removing the cranberry can shape is not as satisfying. You use to be able to open both ends of the can and push from one side - gave a very satisfying pop/squish sound. Now the bottom of the can is rounded and can only be opened from the top. Still tasty!

Most of the pics were frozen food, and really not that *shocking*.

Jello is supposed to take the shape of what you put it in. It doesn't come in squares that you add hot water to. It's crystals that you add hot, then cold water to, then throw it in the fridge to gel.

I *LOVE* cranberry sauce--but mine never takes the shape of its container...since I make it from scratch. I'll eat canned stuff too, but nothing beats homemade!

Rosi:Here in America, our Jello / jelly comes in a fine powder that you dissolve in hot water, then add cold water to and refrigerate. Sometimes you can find the cubed stuff in those kind of stores that specialize in international cuisine, but usually it's unflavored.

That's cranberry jelly... not cranberry sauce.

I love these things, jelly is so weird and funny like something from another world. Always been fascinated by it ( I'm easily amused ).

Guess that should explain why i'm pro at Jellybattle.

I love the whole berry cranberry sauce in the can. I can eat it by itself. Every one of those things in the picture is regularly eaten in my house!

Cranberry sauce from a can is a blight upon the english-speaking world.

wanna know why americans are fat? because we think food from a can is healthy.

Mmmmmmm, glad I eat healthy food that grows on things that's not packaged like that.

I like to make my own cranberry sauce (it's very, very easy. Just get one bag of cranberries, on cup of sugar and boil them together. It's done with the sugar is melter and all the cranberries have 'popped'. It's very good warm with toast.

Hey! We make our own as well, but we toss in some apple and our favorite Port wine as well. Yum! That canned stuff is rude!
