British perspective on jams.

I greatly enjoy listening to two (half British) (half Sudanese) friends talk to each other about something they come up with themselves; it's like listening in on children talking, usually about inanities.

Like last month, I overheard them talking about jams, and how someone they knew complained about how their marmalade wasn't sweet enough.

"But marmalade should be bitter," the sister of the brother-sister pair was like.

"Exactly," the brother of the brother-sister pair was like. "If you want it sweet, why are you having marmalade? You should be eating apricot jam instead."
