Jelly

Famous quotes containing the word jelly:

“Certain it is that scandal is good brisk talk, whereas praise of one’s neighbour is by no means lively hearing. An acquaintance grilled, scored, devilled, and served with mustard and cayenne pepper excites the appetite; whereas a slice of cold friend with currant jelly is but a sickly, unrelishing meat.”
—William Makepeace Thackeray (1811–1863)

“They were in the jelly of youth.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)

“It is always allowable to ask for artichoke jelly with your boiled venison; however there are houses where this is not supplied.”
—Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)
