So you eat the broth of the soup? And to make Jell-O you boil water, mix it with powder. than put it in the fridge. I personally think

It's a lolsquid!

jello is neither liquid or solid or even a gas for that matter, it is in fact the most perfect form of any substance ever thought of. especially lime jello. that stuff is just well indescribable.

gotta go make jello now

yum yum yum

yes.....yes you eat soup (plain broth means you drink it, otherwise you eat it)

Jell-O is a solidified liquid.......weird to put it like that....:wacko:

no i dont mean is it a solid or a liquid, i mean what is it?? it appears to be some sort of elastomer, my guess is extraterrestrial in origin. i mean seriously ya bang it with a hammer and it pops right back into place. ever seen invasion of the body snatchers? i think peopel who eat marshmellows are slowly being replaced by the gooey goodness from outer space.

Just a theory i know but think about it!

Soup is generally eaten, unless it's served in a drinking cup rather than a bowl. Even puréed soups and consommés are considered 'eaten'.

The exception occurs when one picks up a bowl to drink the soup rather than using a spoon.

Marshmallows are a foam - air stabilized in a solid matrix made of sugar and gelatin.

And gelatin is just protein. It's collagen (what holds the body together) that has been heated in water to a point where the protein structure relaxes and dissolves in water. It's usually made from the "leftover" parts of animals, to reduce waste and allow for better cost-efficiency.

Jell-O is considered a semi-solid gel - liquid bound very tightly to the gelatin molecules. The gelatin molecules are considered 'solid' when the gel sets, even though they are not in a crystalline form but rather dispersed throughout.

Some pictures that might help:

This page on hydrocolloids from the FAO. Scroll down to Figs. 5 & 15 & read the stuff under '4) Properties' for agar and carrageenan.

Note: Gelatin is a protein gel. The link discusses polysaccharide hydrocolloids for gels. The salient points are very similar, the molecular structure is different.

If you have other food questions, let me know! I'll try to help. :) (Food Geek, yup! Food science is awesome!) ;)

"Do you eat or drink soup?"

Soup is defined as a liquid food prepared from meat, fish or vegetable stock. The definition of drinking is the consumption of a liquid. The definition of eating is the consumption of food. Soup is therefore both eaten (the solid food) and drunk (the broth).

"And is Jell-O a liquid or a solid?"

All matter has different states (phases): plasma, gas, liquid, solid, and Bose-Einstein condensation. Pressure, temperature (energy), and the molecular bonds and molecular structure all play a role in the state of matter.

Though we think of Jell-O as a single substance, it is comprised of more than one substance. It is the combination of both gelatin and water. Thus, at room temperature, Jell-O is both a solid and a liquid, The gelatin in Jell-O is usually a solid with its molecular protein chains forming a lattice that traps the liquid water molecules within it structure. These chains are not very strong, though they remain solid at or near room temperature, and permit the jiggly wobble one sees in the gelatin. Classified as a single substance, Jell-O is a collodial suspension or a hydrogel and a viscoelastic semisolid.
