How many of you have eaten 'raw' jelly - ie without dissolving it and setting it?

Just had some raspberry jelly. Didn't know whether to throw up or not but I still managed to finish the lot!

Undiluted Rowntree's Strawberry jelly is very nice. Eating it raw is the only way to actually get some flavour.

I used to eat a strip of it before races back when I used to swim competitively…

I've been eating the 'ready-made' little tubs of that with ice-cream recently - goes down a treat with Tesco's own brand vanilla

I think most people have

Even when I was a kid, my mum would let me have one cube when she was making some. I also remember a "make" on a kids show where they covered the cubes in chocolate and stuff to make sweets.

I bet I'm the only one here who's tried to make "wine" out of it though

Also, mixed with the 99.8% Polish vodka makes an excellent alcoholic trifle

When I was doing long walks a few years back I would take a packet per day, they pack more of a punch than mars bars, and though I love them, the amount of mars bars I ate while walking, well, let's just say it played havoc with the whole digestive system

I quite liked it, used to take strawberry and sometimes lime...

I loved it as a kid. My mum used to wonder where the packs were disappearing to from the cupboard.

I always dissolve it, unlike some others here I can still taste the flavour! I can't stand jelly in its "raw" form.

Yep, I used to nick it from the cupboard and eat it from the packet. It was lovely.

Can you still get it like that?

OFC, No seriously how else could you buy it? In a big wobbly bag? :p

You can buy crystals in little packets.

Yep, I've seen the bags of powder/crystals, thats why I asked if was still available - I might buy some for a nostalgic trip.

I never had jelly cubes, as it would cause asthma problems. My mum used to make jelly out of fruit juice and gelatine or pectin, which I liked.

Maybe it's a sign of old age but there are few things in life which are quite as good as lying, (or sitting up) in bed on a saturday night watching Match of the day whilst eating a bog bowl of Strawberry jelly.
