Da funny fing is, arf of 'em believe it and da over arf don't, so 'e 'as to hit 'em all anyway or run fer it.

I've heard of such. Knew an English (english) couple where the mom would make that. I could see that becoming addicting.
Jelly. Jelly and jam are differnt things in the states, at least the South. Jelly is more smooth and refined. Jam is more raw.
And remember the cardinal phrase that pays "Must be jelly cause jam don't shake like that." (do not say to a female unless you like...discomfort)

Yes. I'ver not heard of that combo but dad still liked french fry sandwiches back from his poverty days so I'm sure there are lots of people who like it.

As Frazzled said, we don't call jam jelly. Jelly and jam are two different things. What all the people from the UK that I've met call jelly, most Americans call Jell-O.
This Wikipedia article explains it pretty well. Some Americans who don't know any better might use the terms jam and jelly interchangeably, but a lot of people in my family make homemade jams, jellies, marmalade, preserves, etc., so I sort of grew up understanding the differences, which are somewhat complex.
Basically, the main differences are that jelly is smooth and doesn't contain pieces of fruit or seeds. Jam does contain bits of fruit and/or seeds. Marmalade usually has bits of peel in it (it's usually made from oranges, but technically you can make it out of basically anything with a peel). If people say "marmalade" and don't specify, they're probably talking about orange marmalade, but it can be good to confirm if you're not sure. In the Wikipedia article it says that British marmalade often has a bitter tang, while American marmalade doesn't. Personally, I'm not willing to commit to that. Marmalade is often sweet in the US, but I would not be surprised if there are people who's homemade recipes vary wildly from what's found in stores.
Preserves can be used as a general term for all these things (although it's rare), and can also refer to jam-like things with large pieces of fruit in it. It can also be used to refer to things that don't fit well into the other categories, due to what it's made out of. You made home-made preserves out of violets, for example. I recommend trying it, it's purple and delicious.
There are also fruit butters, which don't fit into any of the other categories (except maybe the extremely general use of the word "preserves.")
It's interesting though, that you got the impression that American people call everything jelly except for strawberry jam. It may be simply because strawberry jam is much more common than strawberry jelly (this is true for a lot of different berries, as it's quite difficult, and mostly pointless, to remove the seeds). While grape jelly, on the other hand, is probably much more common than grape jam, for whatever reason.
It's good to know your preserves though. They're tasty.
You yanks have some pretty odd tastes if you ask me.
Then again, I eat crackers with cheese and vegemite and put jelly beans in hot dogs.
People are like dice, a certain Frenchman said that. You throw yourself in the direction of your own choosing. People are free because they can do that. Everyone's circumstances are different, but no matter how small the choice, at the very least, you can throw yourself. It's not chance or fate. It's the choice you made.

I honestly belived that I was the only person on earth who has eaten french fry sandwiches,amazing the things you learn here on Dakka.
I am both selfish and chaotic. I value self-gratification and control; I want to have things my way, preferably now. At best, I'm entertaining and surprising; at worst, I'm hedonistic and violent.

Chip butty is a traditional British delicacy.
Now it's mentioned, I remember that there are one or two 'jelly' type preserved products in the UK. Redcurrant jelly and mint jelly for use with lamb are the most common. We don't eat it on toast though.
British marmalade is bitter, that's the point. If you want something sweet, there is jam. Orange marmalade is the most common but you can also get lime marmalade.
