Jam or marmalade?

[loulou]

It's news that will leave Paddington Bear choking on his sandwiches: sales of marmalade are diving and a new, sweeter interloper - orange jam - is threatening to lure away even more fans.
Industry analysts say our love for the breakfast spread - also adored by Winston Churchill - has been waning dramatically in recent years.
In the past three alone, sales have dropped by more than eight per cent  - and in one, 2006, nearly 500,000 families stopped buying marmalade altogether.
Do you prefer jam or marmalade? I prefer marmalade.

If you search the  I mean internet, you will find all sorts of stories and facts about it.

They wonder why our love for marmalade is waining, well with parents serving up pop tarts, is it any wonder?

I prefer Marmalade over a prefab slab of toasted e-numbers something with a sugary filling that tastes of jam any day.

Yes but what is the difference between lemon curd and lemon cheese?
Orange curd is available as well too, I notice.

[netbuddy]

Curds have more juices in so it is more tart in flavor and are not as thick as the cheese or custards.

Lemon curd is used for allot of fillings as an alternative to jam.

I love lemon curd. Have you had the lemon curd muffins. Yum.

[paulham]

Have you had the lemon curd muffins.

No! Have you? Was it serious?

[loulou]

Seriously lush.

[paulham]

I am not a big fan of lemony dessert things.

[loulou]

I am if they are sweet but I don't like bitter things.

[paulham]

I like them tart.

[netbuddy]

Its nice to have a tart once in a while...

[paulham]

Yes. A big fat one.

[netbuddy]

Oooo yeah, you gotta have a big one.

[loulou]
