Marmalade Fingers
I now much prefer
marmalade
to strawberry jam ..
In simple terms,
I like the unexpected
sharpness of it
dancing on my tongue ..

I've never had marmalade, so I'll take your word for it....sounds yummy!! C
my word, you don't know what you're missing .. it's one of them things you just gotta suck it and see 🙂
lol!!! 🙂
Orange marmalade is the best thing ever I always have it in my home. Neville such a sweet little poem ❤️
its certainly up there somewhere near the top of the list .. thanks Teddy ❤️
It's tangy sweetness transports me back to Mum's morning 'appointment' at the kitchen table and of course ties back rather neatly to Paddington Bear.
.................. ta for the thumbs up CB 🐻🐝🍊🧡
That reminds me, we're out of jam here. Shall we try marmalade next? I will mix it with arsenic in KP's sandwich. heehee.
I'm horrible to her, but killing her off is going too far!
I am very much stuck in my ways as far as traditional orange marmalade is concerned .. 🍊🐭
Thanks M. Well, not arsenic, maybe cat food! lol. She gets catty if I don't give her more money for botox. lol.
Orange, lemon, or even lime marmalade?!
My slowly grinding pedestrian brain could find no meta meaning here. For how could I temper my craving when the word ‘Marmalade’ is presented to me?
So I remain on the literal level and ask – Any tips? (My current infatuation is with a product contained in a long narrow jar which should be extracted with a specially designed porcelain spoon….)
thanks for diving in mate, much appreciated .. no tips I'm afraid except for maybe finger tips .. you should know by now a gent never tells .. I will say this tho, specially designed porcelain spoons are now collectors items .. if you've got one, look after it .. Neville
Cheers Neville; thanks for the advice - mine, used daily, free gift from a friend who had TWO is cherished, used with care.
Make sure it's made with Seville oranges, much more tangy. More of a hot Spanish dance on your tongue. A wonderful breakfast treat. I never met-a-4 I didn't like. - Phil A
I came, I saw, I concur .. me neither my friend .. cheers Phil, N
wisdom of taste, tongue to lips
flavours dance
with the passing of time we realise
sweetness in a purr or a lick
we just have to be open minded
to what we're offered in life..
(loving the wordplay, Hyung
a fun read
still, just glad you didn't take it
to marmite's levels
that's just irreversibly divisive
even as metaphor)
lol
................................... finger lickin good eh' .. so that is what a metaphor 🙂
