Read wintermute's quote.

ggp probably meant the word "jelly" instead of the word "jello".

No one is contesting the word "jam".

The scenario is that a US foreigner mentioned we use jello for jam. We use the word jam.

You're missing the point. Regardless of whether "jam" is used, so is "jelly" (not "jello"). I am American and I use both "jam" and "jelly". There's probably variation in usage throughout the country.
