Marmalade

[lunchbox]

Isn't it just lovely? Everyone I know hates it. Come on, there must be some people here who love the stuff...

[Ordinary Bloke]

Mrs OB loves the stuff, but I think it's cr@p. So I conclude it's for girlies...

[biglepton]

I find it's tart acidity the perfect foil to follow a full English with, cutting through any lingering grease with a pleasing citrus edge. Jam is for girls.

[Hooli]

lime marmalade is even better but often hard to find.

[knight]

The mrs hates it but I love it

[Gizmo535]

I'm a big fan.
Which is odd, because I don't like 'raw' oranges much.

I don't have it often though, because it makes the toast go cold...

A few seconds under the grill and it's sorted

Doesn't reticulated mean stripy? *googles* Ah - 'netlike or resembling a net'.

What's a netlike orange? *googles some more* Ah. A tangerine...

[Tunku]

I love marmalade, even on a peanut butter sandwich.
Best is with butter on a piece of toast though.

[Parrot of Doom]

Sorry but thick white toast saturated with hot butter - that pisses all over Marmalade.

Why isn't marmalade called "Orange Jam"?

and why isn't bramble jelly called blackberry jam?

[Saabyfox]

We got a nice hamper last year at Xmas that contained some Marmalade that had Whisky in it- delicious, never seen it in the shops again though!

[condor]

I quite like ginger marmalade as well as the normal orange one.
Sometimes, when I have duck, I cheat and use marmalade as a base for the orange sauce and add orange juice to it.

I am newly converted to marmalde, don't do jam. My favourite being Chivers Breakfast, and just recently Frank Coopers
No matter how much I try I cannot bring myself to eat honey though, it's the last food I have to conquer

[Gretchen]

I've really gone off this of late...

And herself loves marmalade. Strange creature.

Frank Coopers

My gran used to make marmalade like this, rich and dark with huge chunks of rind in it

Perfect on fried bread
