[Food] When did you last have marmalade?

[Super Steve Earle]

This is very bizarre. I have now had three seperate marmalade related incidences in one day.

No.1. This morning my daughter's boyfriend revealed that he had never eaten marmalade despite liking orange flavoured products (Club chocolate biscuits, Jaffa Cakes etc). This revelation prompted me to buy a jar for him to try, the first I've bought in about a year.

No. 2. After the marmalade discussion and subsequent purchase I opened NSC and saw this thread and thought "that's a coincidence" but was too busy to post a reply.

No.3. Just now I was driving in the car listening to Radio 5 when they started to discuss Marmalade.

You need to watch Paddington 2 tonight. Wonderful film and loads of marmalade.

I would like to indulge more but believe marmalade and toast would pile on the pounds for me sadly

Love a bit of Marmalade. It’s an occasional thing for me when I feel like a pot of tea and a few slices of toast at the table. In a toast rack, of course.
I like my marmalade strong, dark, bitter and pithy. On mildly burnt toast with real butter. Smashing.
I always have a jar of good stuff in the larder. Down on the flag-stones to keep just the right side of cool.

Never understood Bagels, a flavourless, stale ring doughnut.

Supermarket ones can be rather tough. But the best ones in Brighton are served up at Bagelman.
I watch what I eat these days but when I worked round the corner in Middle St, Friday morning was always Ham (proper cooked, real ham) cheddar and coleslaw on a warm onion bagel washed down with a big mug of tea. Ahhh man, one of the nicest things I’ve had locally.

None of the above options.

Used to have it occasionally but now we don't eat bread, we don't eat marmalade either.

Whisky marmalade in the porrridge

 

[Gabbafella]

Love the stuff, but it has to be shredless. I don't have it that often which always surprises me when I do have it as it's lovely.
Lemon curd is the other thing I absolutely love but haven't had for years......going to order some.

 

[Knocky's Nose]

Always good to steal them wee marmalade jars from hotel breakfast buffets and repackage as gifts to Loved Ones

Would that be due to your Scottish tendencies?

I once saw a Scotsman drop a pound coin. It hit him on the back of the head.

Maybe the stale, mass produced knock offs you get in the UK but a fresh bagel with salmon, cream cheese, onions and tomato from a Jewish delicatessen in New York is amazing

Love living in Brighton but I do miss NY , especially the upper east side . My favourite part of Manhattan.

Ironically the best thing to put in a bagels is sausage.

Turned down the offer of marmalade only this morning. We have some in the fridge, and sometimes Meade Jr asks for it on toast, meaning there's a knife to be licked and, for the love of Keith Barron the third, i put tongue to dull sweet blade like a fatherly gentleman.
The portion I failed to revere this morn would have gotten in the way of butter already soothingly smeared.

Mrs SS makes her own, and damn fine stuff it is too.
Excellent on toast or fresh bread - thinly spread on granary of course - probs 2-3 times a week.

Option 3 has me concerned - how would anyone know what the devils crotch scrapings taste like? Yet 15 NSC'ers [at last count] apparently do !!

 

[Goldstone1976]

I really like it - thick cut for me. Generally have it about once a week.

I used to make my own, until I discovered Rosebud Preserves made ooop north.

They make the proper stuff: ingredients are oranges, sugar, and lemon juice - that’s it. It’s utterly brilliant. As are all their jams. In particular, I love their strawberry, raspberry, rhubarb and elderflower, and plum jams - all made just how your grandmother would have done, had she made jams. It’s really not cheap, but I’ve realised there’s no point making my own - I’m never going to get close to making them as well as they do. Mail order is available.

Oh, their piccalilli is to die for too.

Ohhhh ..... look at you, so posh, a LARDER ! With FLAGSTONES !!!

I'm actually jealous

Back to the marmalade debate - love it - like it slightly bitter but I also like the Lemon Shred ( dirty but oh so nice ).

If you saw the space, Larder is a rather grand term for it

Lemon shred is nice, I’m partial to a lime marmalade. Love a variation on a theme

A few supermarkets (Sainsbury's, Co-op) do a very nice three fruits marmalade, made with orange, lemon and grapefruit. Highly recommended.

 

[Uh_huh_him]

That's Silver Shred.

C'mon, get it right!

Really

Well it was a while ago.

I am delighted that the great fruit preserve debate has gone positively viral.
