Fascinating! I was just reading a thread somewhere the other day discussing jelly, jam, and marmalade. The consensus seemed to be that jam, and more often marmalade, was something many people as young children didn't have on the regular. The implication being jelly was more affordable and thus more frequently used.

That said, I'm adding your friends brand to my shopping list!

Have I ever told you how much I enjoy your Food Pilgrim postings? More than just informative, they taste good to my imagination, too. And that gives me lots of food inspiration, much appreciated!

Wonderful. I read this slowly in honor of Jimmy’s manner of speaking (Food Pilgrim can tell a story too), and was sweetly rewarded with interesting information, entertainment, and a memory of the taste of real marmalade.

Q: What did the chick say after the hen laid an orange?
