When you kill a cow or chicken, it's the cooking that makes it tender
and tasty. Same with citrus peel.

Citron is basically all rind, but there are uses for candied peel as
well. My inlaws had Australian friends who used to send them boxes of
candied slices of orange, lemon and limes.

Bruce, I am living (in my 70s) proof that marmalade doesn't cause an English accent. LOL.
I kinda wish it did. But I have eaten orange marmalade my whole life, and still speak with
"no" accent...Midwest U.S. I haven't ever seen grapefruit marmalade...I love red grapefruit,
so it would be nice if I could find some red grapefruit marmalade...locally, that is, not from
Amazon.

If you can buy them, and have a large pan, it's easy to make your own.

I use the FP fine-slicing blade to slice the skins, and I warm the
sugar in an ovenproof mixing bowl.

No, pretzels would get soggy and crumby, it would be like drinking a soda

I'll admit I find a half grapefruit inefficient to eat. I usually
peel them like an orange and extract the supremes with a paring
knife. It's messy, but satisfying.

Never saw it around here,but I have a jar in the refrigerator. Picked
it up at a roadside stand in Florida. They also had grapefruit with
strawberry.

Once upon a time, in my youth in western Kentucky, many a
customer of my grandfather's store would buy a nickel bag of
Tom's Peanuts and dump them in a bottle of RC Cola. Each pull on
the soda bottle delivered soda and peanuts. I'm surprised no one
choked on the peanuts; must be an innate skill in certain folk.

During that same time in my life, I used to ride along with my
dad on supplier runs to gather the good sold in my grandfathers
store. Most of those runs involved a couple of tavern stops
enroute. My dad had vending machines in the men's rooms of those
establishments, combs and a Brylcreem-like hair cream. He might
have also had a beer or two while there (I had Dr. Pepper or
Frostie Root Beer). Salt shakers were always on the bar at both
establishments and some of the guys would shake a bit in their
glass/mug; I don't know why they did it but it did make the
carbonation bubbles rise.

Thanks for the new word. I always do that with my yearly quota of Costco
'Sweetie' (tm) citrus fruits. These are currently in stock for a few more
weeks. If you have never tasted one of these you are dreprived of one of
the best-tasting fruits of all human history.

(Also know as 'Oroblanco'. They are a hybrid of a white grapefruit and a
pomello.)

Yes, people eat candied peel too. They also sometimes add it to Dutch
currant bread. I used to fish it out a a kid.

Yes, it does:

(I didn't know that "citron" was one of the 4 original citrus fruits.)

I haven't had grapefruit for probably 40 years. I almost forgot it
existed. I can eat marmalade, but that's only because there isn't much
I can't eat.

See where marmalade originated from:

Marmalade appeared in the English language in 1480 from the French Marmelade
which came from the Portugese Marmelada. The root of this Portugese word is
Marmelo

Marmalade originated in Austrailia when prisoners from Britian found that
underneath the bark of vaarious trees a sappy jelly was there a could be
used as a replacement for butter or jam.

Actually citrus can cause that in some. Too acidic I think it was?
They have to limit consumption but the peels can still be used. My
sister used to have that problem.
