An honest-to-goodness serious question about *shudder* Marmalade... (please)

[AffectionateDan]

I've loved the stuff my whole life, and it's always seemed to me that when one says the word, it's a given that you're referring to ORANGE marmalade. Now, with that in mind, I always rave about this particular brand of it at this diner I eat at a lot, and my best friend recently ate there and tried some, UNAWARE that marmalade was made from oranges, which he found repugnant. Now, we got into a huge verbal row about this. To me, it's always been common knowledge that it's ORANGE marmalade, but in retrospect, it's entirely conceivable that some OTHER fruit/vegetable has also been made, at one point or another, into marmalade. My question? Does anyone know of the existance of any marmalades OTHER than ORANGE ?!?!?

Dan, I'd heard of different fruits being used. But, I hadn't tried it or actually seen it. So I did a search and (among others) came up with this site... http://www.freerecipe.org/Breakfast/Jams_Jellies_and_Preserves/Marmalade/

I've honestly never tried marmalade of any sort...I have never seen any flavor besides orange and to tell u the truth, the thought of an orange sandwich is not the most appealing thing to me...orange is a fruit damnit not a sandwich filling!!!!! 🙄
