Difference between: light honey and dark honey

Note: Although this piece was published in October of 2013 it was updated and slightly revised in December of 2017.

Honey is produced in every state and most countries. Over 300 different varieties are available to us in the US. And, it’s been used as a sweetener long before sugar became widely available.

Most of us probably pick honey off the grocery store shelf or farmers market booth without giving it much thought, but have you ever wondered about the difference between light honey and dark honey?

Kudos to my friend Jenny for suggesting this Difference Between post. (more…)

Difference between: olive oil and vegetable oil

Of course, this is one of the Difference Between posts that unavoidably delves into further subcategories, such as extra virgin olive oil, canola oil, peanut oil, corn oil, and so forth.

Mostly, though, I want to look at olive oil and vegetable oil, the two oils I would imagine to be the primary staples in the kitchen. As I’ve mentioned before, I typically do not differentiate between the two in my own recipes, assuming that they are virtually always interchangeable.

After doing my research today, I can honestly tell you I went out and bought some vegetable oil, and may on occasion use it instead of the olive oil that has a permanent home on my kitchen counter.

Difference between: red leaf lettuce and green leaf lettuce

Note: Although this post was published in September of 2013 it was slightly revised and updated in May of 2018.

I’m going to try to keep this one as simple as possible, because it could be really easy to delve into the whole spectrum of lettuces and greens.

Both green leaf and red leaf are mild, healthy, loose leaf lettuces that serve as a great base for a salad. According to AndyBoy.com, both have an underlying hazelnut flavor to them.

Difference between: jams and jellies (and preserves)

. . .and marmalade. And fruit butter.

For this Difference Between, we can rely almost entirely on the basic definitions alone. Recipes.HowStuffWorks.com, Dictionary.com, BakingBites.com, and TheKitchn.com all have specific definitions on jams, jellies, and preserves that I will summarize here.

FineCooking.com, however, not only provides definitions, but also a picture, that, really, just says it all:

Difference between: ice cream and gelato

When I first had the idea for the “Difference Between” category, I knew that it would sometimes inevitably spill into more than just two things.

Today’s Difference Between is with ice cream and gelato, which of course brings into the discussion frozen yogurt, custard, sherbet, and sorbet.
