Sign of an old fogie #33 - Do you eat marmalade ?

[postman]

Ah homemade marmalade the preserve of an English gentleman.Of which i am one.Is there any other item to spread on ones toast in a morning.

I have it on good authority that a certain bald headed starship captain always had a pot of Frank Coopers Oxford Marmalade with him on set in LA while shooting the show.

I've already mentioned in another thread, Mrs Dave's home made marmalade with chilli flakes in it. It's quite exciting!

Hard to believe isn't it, I thought mort was ok too. At least he thinks marzipan is the Devil's earwax.

Love it - bits 'n' all - especially on toast covered in crunchy peanut butter (marmalade always goes on top).

I like marmalade, I make it too, but I don't eat much for some reason.

Marzipan however IS the devil's toe jam, vile nasty stuff.

That's surely related to Marmite is it not?

I thought it was the campaign to remove moaning Scottish gits from CycleChat.

 

[smutchin]

But what flavour?

Marmalade flavour, obviously.

Anything containing ingredients other than Seville oranges (and sugar, obviously) should be subject to some kind of EU regulation to designate it "marmalade-style toast topping".

 

[smutchin]

I most definitely do, and it's one of the few items that I'm prepared to "GO PREMIUM" and not buy own brand.

I like the Vintage version - nicely dark and bitter. Most commercial brands are way too sickly sweet for my tastes, even some "premium" brands. Cooper's definitely bucks that trend.

Marmalade is a subtle joy, especially when it's dark, meaning well caramelised sugars and spread thickly on thick real butter on cold toast, preferably granary. This is also the most digestible, least repeating energy food you can eat before a ride as it combines sugar, fat, slow-release carbs and sheer enjoyment.

Even better with peanut butter added (Whole Earth crunchy, of course - though that's another discussion for another day).

A sandwich of thick-sliced granary toast with peanut butter and marmalade is one of my preferred audax breakfasts.

Point of order - Sunpat crunchy sugar free is the future, that whole earth stuff is horrible.

Hmm, kids that were born in the 1950s perhaps.
