There is a little saying in our family, when one of the others is going on about something serious or boring, or serious and boring, “I like jelly!”
I like jellyfish… I think they are incredibly beautiful and interesting – at a distance! I have actually eaten jellyfish, and thought it interesting, an unexpected texture and a somewhat subtle flavour. I’m not keen on being physically near them, too many memories of being stung as a child when we went swimming in the north sea… my dad used to rub raw tomatoes on the stings; he said it was what Arab people he had met in North Africa during the war did.
Was jelly invented first and the fish named after it or was it the other way around? Always wondered about that.

Gosh… another good thought? I have no idea! I wonder if jelly fish are called that in different languages – I mean whatever the language’s word is for jelly plus fish?

Maybe you can work that into your book. Everybody likes Jello.
