I'd like to see documentation that Mrs. Keiller (or someone else in that business) actually INVENTED marmalade. If she did, I'm not really surprised. I used to eat Keiller's marmalade with great relish (if that's the right word under the circumstances), but I found some years since that that brand, at least as I bought it here in the US, had lost its distinctive bitter tone, in favor of being too sweet. Still made from Seville oranges, according to the label, but it had changed.

I can readily believe that possibly what we get here is now purposely denatured in order to meet what the salespeople thought was American taste. Durn shame, if so! Durn shame, either way. Now it just tastes like everyone else's marmalade.
