I do but my wife doesn't. So, we compromise, whereas I'll mow them when the "fluff" comes out, which is sometimes twice a week.Do you like dandelions?I do.

So you spread it on things, as if it were jam. I see.

Buggered if I know. Ask an American.
About the only jelly I make use of is redcurrant jelly, as a condiment with roast lamb. I don't count the jellylike matrix of my ham and parsley terrine, which involves dissolving gelatine in ham stock, pouring over the ingredients and letting it set in the fridge.
(I have been known to serve surplus jellied stock from this, set, in glasses, as an appetiser - it's rather nice. I sometimes wonder if I could do it 2 stages, set the first layer, put a peeled quail's egg or something in, then pour over some more and let that set round it, in the hope that it would produce an egg magically suspended in jelly. But I've never got round to it.)

Nope. Jelly is jam with all the seeds and crap filtered out. But it seems to be a catch all for jam. My Mrs calls it a peanut butter and jelly sandwich when she uses raspberry conserve.
I do know it's considered rude to say to a woman, "must be jelly 'cause jam don't shake like that".... learnt that one the hard way.
Jam is made with whole fruits, whereas jelly is a clearer consistency and made with fruit juice.

But jelly is also far more set than jam, surely? Jelly holds its shape. Jam flows.
Both hold their shape when I make it, and with any I've purchased. The only thing I've had that flows was some unset marmalade I made.
What do Americans call the desert food though??
The stuff you make frog in a pond from?
The stuff you absolutely can't spread on a peanut butter sandwich....

'Must be jelly cos jam don't shake' is almost a compliment in basketball, popularised by ESPN commentators for when someone makes a shifty dribbling move and gets past their opponent.
So female basketballers you might be able to get away with it. At least while they are on court...lol.
Check out the classic commentary, about 25 seconds into the clip.

Desert food? Hmmm.... Cactus chow? Tumbleweed tapioca?
Surely America is proof of polytheism. No way y'all got created by the same dude as the rest of us.
Well, you asked about desert food, so those were a few suggestions I thought of. Although I think the Sonoran Desert (where I live) may be a bit spicier than the Mohave Desert.
I need to watch a copy that has English sub titles.
They are an alien species where I am and considered a weed, but I'm OK with them generally.
You can eat the greens and make tea and wine from them.
As long as they don't grow in the cracks of the pavement, I can live with them.
