6Foot2 Posted August 16, 2017 Posted August 16, 2017 After seeing this article: Link: Now millennials are killing marmalade | Metro News And seeing that the (current) poll results show a correlation with age, I thought we could do a similar Edugeek poll, with the same responses.
elsiegee40 Posted August 16, 2017 Posted August 16, 2017 Son, aged 21, has loved marmalade since he was tiny. Daughter, aged 23, discovered last year that she did like it after all. She had spent the previous 22 years being a "fussy brat" ... her words not mine
DJ-1701 Posted August 16, 2017 Posted August 16, 2017 It's strange, I used to be called a millennial... but now some call my age a xenillennial... certainly over 28 though.
HarryMonkey Posted August 16, 2017 Posted August 16, 2017 Love marmalade, especially the thick peel variety. Lime is rather nice too.
unixman_again Posted August 16, 2017 Posted August 16, 2017 I've never been a fan of marmalade or strawberry jam (as far as I'm concerned anything labelled strawberry is a waste of time). Give me raspberry or apricot jam on toast anytime. Honey is good too.
SpuffMonkey Posted August 16, 2017 Posted August 16, 2017 Yum - make a big batch every January. My fave - hot toasted (English) muffin, heavily buttered and then a smear of marmite and marmalade on top - its got it all - sweet, sour, salty, umami 1
hardtailstar Posted August 17, 2017 Posted August 17, 2017 It's strange, I used to be called a millennial... but now some call my age a xenillennial... certainly over 28 though. I thought Millennials were born from 2000 onwards? I love marmalade but much prefer strawberry jam
6Foot2 Posted August 17, 2017 Author Posted August 17, 2017 I thought Millennials were born from 2000 onwards?.. Link: Millennials [Wikipedia] ...Millennials (also known as Generation Y) are the demographic cohort following Generation X. There are no precise dates for when this cohort starts or ends; demographers and researchers typically use the early 1980s as starting birth years and the mid-1990s to early 2000s as ending birth years...
hardtailstar Posted August 17, 2017 Posted August 17, 2017 Link: Millennials [Wikipedia] So Im one......
6Foot2 Posted August 17, 2017 Author Posted August 17, 2017 So Im one...... Clarification: Declaring as a millennial. I am not. Born: Early 60's.

So Im one...... Well... it's a little confusing, as under that definiation, so am I... but some restrict it from March 1983... so then I wouldn't be... and they call that bridge between X and Y (or Menillenial) Xenillennial.
hardtailstar Posted August 17, 2017 Posted August 17, 2017 Clarification: Declaring as a millennial. I am not. Born: Early 60's. I was born in 1988 so almost in the middle of it!
AMLinington Posted August 17, 2017 Posted August 17, 2017 Marmalade is horrible and bitter. Like Tonic water. LeHusband loves it but I can't stand the bitterness.
DeGrimmy Posted August 17, 2017 Posted August 17, 2017 I'm a millennial, and I think I like marmalade, but I haven't tried it in ages and I haven't really thought about it, if I'm honest... Always been more of a strawberry jam kind of person anyway!
pcstru Posted August 17, 2017 Posted August 17, 2017 Yes but grapefruit in preference to orange. I occasionally like to make a quick grapefruit marmalade which simply involves two pink grapefruit, boiled whole, drained and shredded (to whatever consistency you like) and then just add jam sugar and a little lemon juice, simmer until it thickens, jar it up and job done. I say occasionally - two grapefruit produces enough to last me 2-3 years (and it hasn't killed me so must be OK for that length of time).
cpjitservices Posted August 18, 2017 Posted August 18, 2017 Yes, Specially on toast or a scone, or a hot bagel.
Andrew_C Posted August 18, 2017 Posted August 18, 2017 I've never (as far as I recall ) not eaten it. Not that I go out of my way or anything, but don't understand a passionate debate. Not like Marmite...
Garacesh Posted August 24, 2017 Posted August 24, 2017 Where's the 'Eh, it's alright' option? It's not bad, but it's not my first choice.
Dos_Box Posted August 24, 2017 Posted August 24, 2017 Marmalade is the only thing that belongs on toast. Apart from cheese that is. 1
