From Conservapedia

British?
Is British marmalade different than American marmalade? HelpJazz 19:52, 27 October 2008 (EDT)
- That entire page was obviously written by a troll. I'll see if I can get something remotely respectable up there. Samd 19:53, 27 October 2008 (EDT)
And not one word about Paddington Bear.
- Actually the word comes to us from the Portuguese through French and originally had to do with quinces, not oranges. Latin is in there somewhere, and honey has had a look-in in certain references. Marmalade has a certain - um - complementarity with brown sugar. I have an indescribably moorish glaze for the Christmas ham if anyone's interested (although you'll have to wait nearly a year to try it, unless you have the good fortune to live where I live and celebrate Ozmas in June.} AlanE 00:24, 3 January 2015 (EST)
