Miles:
Chivers sells Lemon Marmelade, at least over here. It's similar to the 
"fruity" orange Marmalade, the one with smaller bits of peel, that is it's 
half transparent.

What is the definition of a "Marmalade"? It's a bit confusing, because there 
are European "Marmalades" from all kind of fruits. So, the British 
definition of a Marmalade, are the slices of peel crucial, or what is the 
difference between a Marmalade and a, for example, jelly?

Miles, who just ate a toast with strawberry whateveryoucallit ;)
