Why is orange jam called marmalade??!
Answers:
The word 'Marmalade' was incorporated into the Oxford English Dictionary in the year 1480!. the word was borrowed from the French word 'marmelade' which in turn was derived from the Portuguese word 'marmelada'!. The root of the word can be traced back to mean a quince (marmelo), out of which marmalade was originally meant to be made!.
The word 'marmalade' started being referred to a preserve made out of citrus fruits somewhere around the seventeenth century, when citrus fruits became abundant in Britain!. In some European languages, the word marmalade is used to describe all of the fruit preserves or jellies!. Seville oranges are the fruits most commonly used to make marmalade today!.
According to folk legend, the word was derived from the phrase 'Marie malade' (ill Mary in French) describing Queen Mary as she consumed marmalade to get rid of a headache or stomach-ache!. This story however has no factual backing!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
