NoshowJones Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 Anyone know if it is possible to buy jars of Robertsons (I think) Shredless Marmalade here in Thailand? I was going to buy three jars from the Corner Shop in the UK at 2.25 GBP each, but the total came to over 39 GBP. What a rip off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the sort of thing that I would expect to find in Villa in The Avenue in Pattaya, or in Tops in Central in Pattaya, or possibly from one of the two Pattaya expat shops (Siamburys, and the one on Soi SCC). All of them usually have a fairly wide selection of spreads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do have packets of marmalade, but not Robertsons Shredless. if you come across it please let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont know of any others apart from these two: Siamburys is here: https://en-gb.facebook.com/siamburis/ The Soi Siam Country Club is this one, I think, but the Google map pin seems to be in the wrong place so I'm not sure: https://en-gb.facebook.com/siamexpatfood/ Both on the darkside.

Corner Shop is based in the UK, and they wanted that amount to send to Thailand, probably for taxes and their massive profit. Greedy B@stards.

grollies Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 To be honest I can't tell the difference between Robertson's marmalade and the marmalade sold in most 7/11, Tesco, etc. It's all sugary crap. Mind you, I've been spoiled by my Mum's marmalade when as a kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chickenslegs Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 I tried to find seedless raspberry jam but couldn't. In the end I warmed up normal raspberry jam and pushed it through a sieve. A bit messy, and lost about 1-third of the volume - but it set again just fine after an hour in the fridge. I guess it would be much easier with marmalade (bigger chunks).

I see where you are coming from, but one mans meat is another mans poison. Just the same as I never eat fruit or veg because of lumps and things, that is why I always use a blender.

What's the point, Marmalade is supposed to have shredded peel. If you don't like the bits as someone suggested have the girlfriend/wife pick them out for you.
