Cream cheese and marmalade | Miriam Margolyes | Proportional representation | Poetry HQ | World Book Day

I tried David and Bryony Graham’s marmite and marmalade (Letters, 21 February), but it was not for me. However, profound thanks to Donna Tartt and her novel The Secret History for the revelation that is cream cheese and marmalade: better even than clotted cream and jam. My earliest memory is of a fragrant, steamy kitchen that had everything to do with “granny’s marmalade pan”– a very wide and shallow, two-handled steel pan, bright from use and scrubbing. That was 70 years ago.
