To eat jelly cubes?

[Merryoldgoat]

Lighthearted obvs.

My DH made a trifle (it was delicious).

There was a leftover packet of jelly, which I ate in raw cube form over the next few days.

DH thinks I’m a heathen.

AIBU to eat raw jelly?

Love them, great sweet fix when dieting 😂

Always a treat when I was a child.

YANBU it’s delicious, and isn’t is supposed to be good for your nails?

YANBU

Love them.

It is your dh I am worried about.
Jelly cubes are the best !

100% NBU.

HA! DH can swivel (whilst I eat trifle)

Always sneaked one or two cubes when I was a child.
Found out the hard way that jelly doesn’t set if you eat too many. Doh!

My my. Used to give us raw jelly cubes to strengthen our nails. So it's actually medicinal

I may also have performed a similar experiment…

Same here

all the best magazines used to tell you to eat jelly cubes for your nails very tasty too

Jello is a thing in the us. Same thing, right?

Used to drive my grandma nuts that me and my cousin would do this and there would be none left to make jelly with 😂

I used to do this I always got shouted at by my Mum 😂for it . Don't do it anymore though , I would probably be annoyed if I went to make jelly and some of it was missing . Good job my kids were nothing like me.😁

DH has just said ‘Mumsnet can fuck themselves’.

I’ve added jelly to the weekly shop.

🤣🤣🤣

A little girl I used to go to school with in reception class had a packet of 'raw' jelly cubes in her lunchbox.

I used to get a couple of cubes as a treat in my lunch box as a child.

I now live in a country that doesn’t do jelly cubes. I discovered this many years ago when I had a craving and found that all jelly is in sachets (granules). Nobody at work had a clue what I was talking about as they’d never seen jelly cubes.

I am now craving some again, dammit.

DM always used to save me a cube to eat raw when making jelly. It's a happy childhood memory. I still save one for myself, having 'forgotten' to teach my children that it's a thing.

if you have citric acid and mix it 50/50 with sugar and roll the jelly cubes in it it's DIY haribo (was desperate one day!)

I also used to eat the bits that attached the cubes together when I was making jelly - the kind of circle bits

DM used to say it was good for your hair/nails as full of gelatine, if it's good enough for bone broth . .

All that gelatine is definitely good for your nails, especially if you have flaky nails or are recovering from chemo. 😊

I used to eat cubes of lemon jelly regularly.

My mum actually used to give me a packet of jelly cubes to eat for my snack at school break time! Mad to think about it now, it’s a wonder I have any teeth left! Can you imagine what school would say if I gave my child that for their snack now?! That said, YANBU to eat one or two as a treat!

I love jelly cubes.
I might even be guilty of having a few sips of the jelly / water mix before putting it to set 😜

Love them!
