I love QI, but I nevertheless have to point out that, in America, we have jelly, made using the fruit juice only, while jam uses the fruit juice and pulp. I explain this not only to be pedantic, but also because I am heir to a huge jam making empire.😉

It's a little bit of both. Manufacturers always differentiate on their label, but in common usage the word "jelly" covers both since it's largely just personal preference.

At 1:02:30 Stephen says that the fishermen "snap off the claws" of a stone crab and that is incorrect. The fishermen only remove the larger of the two claws before tossing the crab back in the ocean. A crab with one claw can still eat and defend itself, if at somewhat of a disadvantage, but a crab with no claws would starve to death or be killed long before it could grow two new claws. Thought you would appreciate knowing the correct answer.

Well, I don't quite think it was BS. I have seen them and they do fly for what feels like a long long time. But even 10 seconds is quite a while for a fish. You kind of expect it to be like an extra long jump, but it is much, much more like a bird flying than a fish jumping. If you watch birds flitting around in the garden, you almost never see one flying for 30 seconds at a time simply because they would probably be out of sight by that time. Flying fish are very fast so if your boat isn't moving, they can put quite a bit of distance between you in even a short flight, which is why videos don't often do justice to how cool they are. In any case, I think she was just overestimating the actual time ("minutes and minutes") and trying to get across the point that they really do seem to fly for a surprising amount of time.

Fingers and Fumbs remains my favorite QI episode with Stephen Fry. The grunts that the guys let out when they try to lift their ring fingers at 1:10:55 make me giggle, even all these years later.

Point of order at 41:45 - Americans do NOT call jam jelly - we cal it jam. Jelly is made from heavily strained fruit juices and has no pulp or seeds (here called puips", jam contains small amounts of pulp and usually includes seeds from fruits that have edible seeds. Another degree is preserves, in which all edible parts of the fruit are used without any straining to remove any pulp, skin, or seeds.

slight correction to Stephen about Americans and jam, we have both jam and jelly, jam is made with the whole fruit including skins and pulp where applicable, jelly is made with the juice from the fruit mixed with pectin which is a sweetener and thickener but we do have both

In the US jam and jelly are similar but distinct things. Jelly is made with fruit juice and jam is made with fruit pulp.

I beg to differ... they do not call jam "jelly" in America. Jam and jelly are two different things. Jam is the sweetened spread of cooked down fruits and/or berries with pectin added as required for firmness. Jelly is jam that has been strained prior to cooling so it has no pips or fruit pulp, just the jelled liquid.

it is only jelly if there are no pips of any kind
