Maybe you blokes aren't big on it in Old Blighty, but here in the colonies, grape is quite the rage.
Black currant, I've never seen on the shelves, honestly.

Grape is mine....yes I've noticed Brits don't seem to do grape jelly as my wife is always wanting other flavors. Black currant is her favorite but I'll let her vote for that.

Learn something new every day! Q. Is Currant Jelly the same as Grape Jelly?
A. Currants are a very different fruit than Concord grapes; currants come in two colors, red and black. Red is sold in small quantities in the Northwest, primarily for jams and jellies. Black currants are also used in jams and jellies, but is primarily European in origin (some from Canada) and is a popular spread in Europe. Currants are bush berries; Concords grow on a vine.
Grape Jelly is made with grape juice concentrate. Concord grape jelly should be made from 100% Concord grape juice concentrate or single-strength juice. Current jelly is made from red currants for the most part in the U.S; in Europe, it's almost always black currants, but currant jelly can be made from red, black or white currants.www.concordgrape.org/bodyfacts.html |

Maybe the absence of Concord Grape jelly in the UK has something to do with Concord. The revolution...the battle...Paul Revere...all that stuff.
You'd think 232 years could heal the pain.

Gotta agree with the majority...grape followed by strawberry. Most of what I use is homemade. Smuckers just doesn't compare to stuff picked and bottled hours later.
Jamestown is right in the heart of the concord grape region of the US. Heck, even the Jammers mascot is a bunch of concord grapes. You'll have to try some if you ever make it to G-con Bazzy.

Blackcurrant (not Blackcurrent) is a small navy purple colored fruit . Very popular here in the UK . Famous drink Ribena is made from Blackcurrants . It was nothing at all to do with spotted dick ? . Backcurrant juice is believed to be one of the hardest things , to wash out of any dirty washing .

Here in Las Vegas, when I go out to eat breakfast, I often order steak and eggs. For the toast that comes with it, I usually have strawberry or grape jelly.
This gives me an idea for a new poll.
