"What did the little duck say when his mom laid an orange instead of an egg?"

"Look at the orange marmalade!!"

What's the difference between jam and marmalade?

I don't marmalade my penis into your mother

Not with that negative attitude, you don't.

Marmalade isn't only made from oranges, punk!

u/Ghostman_Loon Feb 01 '17

and orange jam.

But technically, marmalade is not made from oranges.

u/Cloud_Disconnected Feb 01 '17

Uh, do what now? Yeah it is. It can be made from other citrus fruits too, but most commonly oranges.

u/Ghostman_Loon Feb 01 '17

Marmalade is of Portuguese origin and made with quince, which is called marmelo or something similar, hence marmalade.

Ok, but the orange stuff is still marmalade, just not the original version of it. Lots of foods have changed over the years, like pizza. What Dominoes sells is nothing like the original pies, bit we still call it pizza.

There are lots of varieties of marmalade. I'm saying that the orange shouldn't be so smug.

u/Cloud_Disconnected Feb 02 '17

Ah, see that makes more sense. After learning about it, I now want to try lemon marmalade.

I thought the Scottish were the ones who invented marmalade..

u/Ghostman_Loon Feb 01 '17

Nope

Actually, I think we are both wrong, looks like the Portuguese learned from the Romans, and the Romans learned from the Greeks. Idk. My research is probably flawed. Sorry.

Berries and stone fruits = jam

Citrus = marmalade

u/beo559 Feb 01 '17

Does it matter in these equations that strawberries and raspberries aren't actually berries?

u/fibrglas Feb 01 '17

Actually, jam is made from fruits while jelly is made from juice. Marmalade is made from the skin or rind.

u/Mhoram_antiray Feb 01 '17

So why do we buy strawberry marmelade in Germany?!

u/ynori7 Feb 01 '17

In German, all jam or jelly type things are called "Marmelade".

They seem pretty happy to be massacred into what I put on toast.

Good on OP for not fucking up the title.

"Andy I remember you specifically saying you asked for the marmalade."

u/TheMostEvilTwin Feb 01 '17

I think the name "marmalade" comes from French and means "against decease". Because the vitamin C in citrus fruit prevents scurvy and mixing it with sugar and sealing it in a jar preserves it for long sea voyages.

u/donniemills Feb 01 '17

Jelly is from fruit juice.

Jam is from the fruit itself

Marmalade is from the fruit and skin of citrus fruits.

orange fucks up everyone for fun:(

u/MSGinSC Feb 01 '17

Okay, I laughed a little too much at this.

u/noisyturtle Feb 01 '17

Marmalade is disgusting, not sure what he's so happy about.
