My mother used to pour Coke over the ham so the oven would crisp up the skin. A friend of mine eats his lamb with ketchup. Ugh! That's why I usually eat alone. Haha!

I actually prefer ham at Christmas to turkey (since that is our Thanksgiving meal) - never tried it with marmalade though, interesting...

I'd serve it to the dog (Marmaduke) first and scope it out... You never know what may happen! :) Gershon

I love marmalade; the fact you know nothing about ham is fine with me. I am not fond of it at all but marmalade. I am running to the frig right now to see if I have any.

Odd how a big ham like me knows zero about ham, isn't it?! Smiles, Gershon

"Orange Marmalade Jam on ham". Actually that might be pretty tasty. As I recall from childhood, my Mom used to coat our holiday ham with some sort of marmalade and pineapple. Still, I gave up meat eating a long time ago; can't go back. Enjoyed.

Ah, a vegetarian! Then you should go for marmalade on yam(s), i/o ham! Sound like it's worth a try---if someone else goes first! LOL. Thanks, M.L. :) gw

Fabulous fun rhyme and I'm with you on the lamb as l9ng as I can have mint sauce. when I was a nanny they always used to ask if I'd had 'piggy' when I went home on my 1 weekend a month !... well of course i did I could hardly ask them for a bacon sandwich!:-) hugs Jan xx

Ha, ha: That family had to settle for reading 'The Three Pigs,' very popular in Israel---at least it used to be. LOL. Thanks, Jan! Warm wishes, Gershon

If I had to choose I would go for the gravy but jam and marmalade and apple sauce are also great. I love Ham! Blessings, Jennifer.

So, so Cute. Orange marmalade jam on toast or on oatmeal is good. Enjoy your breakfast with your jam.......

My wife is the marmalade one without the worms as she puts it. Me, I'm a marmite freak, can't get enough of the stuff Enjoy your lamb. Tom

My aunt calls marmalade 'jam with nails in it's I prefer it without too much shred, I too adore marmite as does my son but hubby detects it:-) hugs Jan xx

LOL - you can always spread your jam on toast, Gershon.

Oh, spreading jam on toast would be so easy and make so much common sense, Line! ~ Thomas Payne-less (He wrote 'Common Sense')
