And Jam is jam.

My Mum used to make LOTS of jam, & strawberry was her signature one.
My mate Mark was almost addicted to it. He used to call at mine on his way to work for toast & jam. One morning he was stuffing his face with strawberry jam that my dear Mum had made when another mate called by (not for his breakfast though) & Mark could hardly speak for the amount of jam & toast in his cavernous gob. Steve asked what he was eating & Mark spluttered, 'Jims Mums jam, (nomnomnomnomnomnom...) & Steve said, 'but Mark, jams just jam', & Mark said, 'I'ts not that simple Steve!' 😆

It's a good job that exchange didn't happen in jimjam's house with his mate Jim.

I often have a hot cross bun with jam wrapped in clingfilm in my back jersey pocket for long* rides. Jet fuel.

Jam is ace.
Jammy pieces are ace.
What's not ace, are the dafty roasters that use jam jars as cutesy hipster drinking vessels.

I'd posit jam is only for posh people

We grew up on jam sandwiches for school lunch (and in porridge and rice pud) because of seemingly endless strikes, and I never heard words like 'posit'.

Just sayin'...

I had strawberry jam on hot buttered toast this morning, it was lovely. In a few weeks time I'll have a free container for nuts and bolts.

Jam's a winner.

Don't think I fit anyone's definition of posh.

Also, if you see mould on it, bin it

Give over, scrape it off and carry on. I'm not dead - yet.

I love jam.

Marmalade can bugger off though.

That's the problem, it's causing a shortage of jars to put the jam in.

A world without jam is a world I want no part of

+1 to that
Different breads call for different jams or marmalade imho. I finished off the last of this years elderberry jam yesterday and I’m still mourning!

I have jam most days for breakfast. Bovril on toast for main and jam on toast for pudding.

Carluke has always had (and still has) a Jam factory

Just noticed this from the first page, I've been driving through it a fair amount of late, will keep my eye out for the factory shop...

Exactly. You grew up on it. But now 60 years later, jam is only for posh people and hipsters.

Where I come from "jameater" is an insult passed between the residents of two small neighbouring towns. My mother was a jam eater, oh the shame.
Raspberry for the win .:-)
