    Sometimes on porridge.

    forgotten that, thanks!

    There seems to be fashion (it’s not a new thing, just back in fashion) for olive oil and grated tomato

    Apart from the fact I hate tomatoes, how do you grate a tomato? I suspect you may grate one or two passes of tomato skin and then crush the rest in your fist?

    Bloody heathens you’ll be telling me no-one likes Marmalade next…

    We make loads of jam each year, blackberry, elderberry, crab apple jelly. And no I’m not in my 70’s

    Also, if you see mould on it, bin it, as the mould grows through the Jan, not just on top.

    My old man woulda just laughed at you. He’s dead now though.. coincidence?

    Jam on plain yoghurt as well, smallest lump has a bagel with jam and butter for lunch fairly often. Also needed when making trifle.

    Honestly can’t imagine a world without marmalade. How anyone eats toast without it I don’t know.

    Strawberry jam on sourdough toast this morning.

    There’ll be a trip to Greggs shortly though for bacon.

    I think you will find that expresso is now the correct STW spelling 😉

    It’s best to use fleshy tomatoes like the “beef” ones. I was sceptical at first but it does work. In any case, the Spaniards are grating tomatoes all over their toast with abandon so must be possible.

    Not in our house.

    “Carluke Steak” is the most commonly requested breakfast of the youngest panthercub.

    Carluke steak? Explain more. Given my son has just bought house there i see a piss taking opportunity.

    Apparently chlorinated American eggs need to go in the fridge. Or something. Ours don’t. The moisture breaks down the natural seal on the shell and lets the germies in.

    And Jam is jam. It’s never gone away?? But if I am horribly out of touch and if it has, I await the hipster craft jam revival coming out of a shoreditch mk1 transit van in the coming weeks.

    I sense a pop up opportunity.

    6 types of bread, 8 types of jam and conserve, all artisan of course. Apart from obviously sliced white and tesco value strawberry as a hipster nod to the staple of sunday tea in the 70’s of the 3 day week.

    £4.50 a round, they’ll be queuing down Hackney High Street to get in.

    (Cue someone turning up with a link to where it’s already been done)

    Still have it as an occasional brekkie, bit less than I used to but only ‘cos I work from home now so have more time to make proper food.

    Carluke steak? Explain more

    A humorous name for a Jam sandwich. A play on the fact that Jam is manufactured in Scotts Jam factory in Carluke and was the poor man’s sandwich filling.
    Nobody wanted to admit to having the povvy lunch so made a joke out of it to avoid embarrassment.

    Miners / Steelworkers / other assorted workies often like to compare sandwich fillings on a lunch break.

    C’mon, don’t knock it till you’ve tried it. Classic sweet and savoury combo.

    To selectively quote the OP

    We always have a few jars of Marmalade,jams and Lemon Curd knocking about.There’s a lot of baking done in our house so they get used up.
    We made 12 jars of jam this summer (4 Raspberry..8 Strawberry).
    Home made jam FTW.. 😀

    Oh,and

    Strawberry jam and cheese peanut butter is where it’s at.

    For a second I was transported back to a Broons cartoon strip. No Christmas was complete without a Broons or Oor Wullie annual.

    That stuff in doughnuts is jam, like the brown shapes you get in advent calendars is chocolate.

    theotherjonv – apparently San Francisco is saturated with hipster toast cafes.

    I think the decline of jam might have something to do with people realising it’s not actually in any way healthy to start your day with a massive hit of carbohydrate, sugar and fat (toast, jam and butter)?

    No, it’s just…. going underground….

    Oh, well played.

    Why do they give you an egg holder for the door then?

    Supply and demand.

    Apparently chlorinated American eggs need to go in the fridge. Or something. Ours don’t. The moisture breaks down the natural seal on the shell and lets the germies in.

    Pretty much. In the US it’s illegal to sell pre-washed eggs, in the UK it’s illegal to sell washed ones. The washing process breaks down the shell leading to a risk of salmonella contamination, so US eggs must be refrigerated. In the UK it’s unnecessary, putting them in the fridge means they can pick up odours and tastes from other things (I don’t think there’s a great health risk though, just you might end up with oniony eggs). We also vaccinate our chickens, the US doesn’t.

    8 types of jam and conserve

    What’s the difference?

    That stuff in doughnuts is jam, like the brown shapes you get in advent calendars is chocolate.

    It’s well known to those who know it well that the stuff in doughnuts is Merjel.
