Comment on Orange marmalade
I know nothing interesting about marmalade except that it goes very well with a slice of cheese. I have read that sales are "falling off". This is a great pity. Marmalade represents the sunshine that we have not got and links with overseas.

Forget that it does indeed originate from Portugal, forget that they used Quinces instead of oranges, ignore the fact that a woman from Oxford used her Scottish Grandmammies recipe as the foundations to put an English twist on things. Just eat it, and more than that, 'be the marmalade'. Hurrah for Marmalade!

How something that is truly Scottish is on the list of the English Icons? It was invented in Dundee, and as such cannot be taken by English as the English Icon. As a matter of fact it could probably be accepted as a British Icon.

Marmalade is neither Scottish or English in Origin. See the book on Marmalade history by C.Anne Wilson! The oldest references are from SW Europe (Spain, Portugal).....

Orange marmalade was invented in Dundee and only because a lot of oranges came in on a boat and they were damaged so couldn't be sold. They were mashed together as a jam and hey presto we had marmalade.
