Afternoon marmalade

sir – If Elizabeth Johnson (Letters, June 11) has never eaten a marmalade sandwich, she hasn’t lived.

To go even further, on Saturday afternoon I had a scone complete with marmalade and clotted cream. Delicious.

sir – Marmalade should indeed only be eaten on toast at breakfast – but the marmalade must have been made by me. I have done this since 1963, when I was living in Malta and had been introduced to Seville oranges. Maurien Elwell

sir – At school for breakfast we considered a sausage on fried bread, with a good dollop of marmalade smeared over the sausage, to be the epitome of fine dining.

A friend’s mother insisted that a few spoons of marmalade gave a curry a truly authentic taste. Sadly, it didn’t. John Hammond

sir – The perfect breakfast sandwich consists of bacon and marmalade (of the by-royal-appointment variety). Michael Marks

sir – The best way to eat marmalade is to leave it in the jar. Instead, opt for good-quality strawberry jam on warm buttered toast. This can be further improved with a generous slice of strong cheddar cheese.
