During our first 4-5 days here, Daniel, Will and I finished off a jar of blueberry jam. You see, our breakfast consists of two eggs, fried by our very own Gorilah the apt attendant who speaks and maybe understands less than ten english words, with toast with pb and jelly or in its absence, honey. Actually, we aren't completely out of spreadable fruit. We do have diabetic orange marmalade. Orange marmalade is not my favorite but this jar is close to inedible. I've never experienced anything quite like this. The taste is not unbearable, but the shreds of orange peal filling the jar offers a texture and taste that though not intentional, insults your taste buds. So, this morn Gorilah asked us about groceries. We asked him to purchase us some more jelly because we'd already explained that the marmalade was not to our taste. I showed him the empty jar of blueberry jam while we pointed out every jam friendly fruit in the apartment. After lunch I was joyed, but only for a moment, to discover a new jar of jam located in the refrigerator (pictured below).
Though I've yet to actually taste the jam, my growing expectations are nothing short of tremendous!
I love pineapple but can't say I have ever seen pineapple jam. Hmmm...let us know!

I wonder if they make banana jam... I bet that could be interesting.
