The Mystery Of Marmalade
Why does orange marmalade exist, and why does anyone ever serve it? It tastes like burnt plastic with orange sauce.

Wait a minute. You must have some baaaad marmalade. Have it over hot buttered whole wheat toast with your morning coffee. It's wonderful!

I hate the stuff but my husband, who's from Scotland, loves it. He says it's a British thing, to have marmalade with a big breakfast.

Those chunks of peel can be a definite shock to the system -- in fruit cake as well as in marmalade. As a schoolboy I was endlessly inventive in finding ways of getting rid of the stuff. But peel-free marmalade is a different matter. A family-run hotel in Golfe Juan (between Nice & Cannes) serves a home-made version for breakfast and it's divine.

why does england exist? pasty slayers and enslavers of simple natives, destoyers of ecology and imposers of incredibly depressing sexual restrictions!

There are people who hate lamb.
There are people who hate dark green veggies.
There are people who hate marmalade.
Poorly prepared food tastes poorly. If you don't like marmalade, you've either only tasted bad marmalade, or you simply don't have a taste for its combination of sweet and bitter. Personally, it's my very favorite spread for morning toast.

Yes, I have had edible FRENCH marmalade. But restaurants in America do not have French marmalade. Hence, the problem.
