Marmalade: Who invented it and how did it become a shortcut for Britishness?

James Bond spread it on his breakfast toast; Paddington and Queen Elizabeth II kept marmalade sandwiches ‘for emergencies’; Scott of the Antarctic took some to the South Pole. Suzanne peels away layers of the history of marmalade as it evolved from dark quince paste to translucent bitter orange jelly and grew into a ubiquitous British export throughout the world, with Dundee as its capital city. And Muriel reveals her own surprising marmalade journey of enlightenment. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
