I was in a B&B in France a week or two ago and each day started with the landlady's home-made fig jam on a croissant.

 

Pleasant.

And they're like, it's better than yours
Damn right it's better than yours
I can teach you, but I have to charge

Can’t eat it anymore either way mate. Got an enzyme in it which renders my new drugs useless. The orange cunt.

It's the grapefruit component that has the enzyme mate. I can't eat it either, blood pressure meds react with it.

 

There are marmalades without grapefruit though. I get a sweet orange one which is lovely.

Interesting. Yeah I was told no grapefruit, which is fine by me, but was also told Seville oranges which is pretty much all marmalade, or so I thought.

 

Thats a great tip though - I will have another look about.

Grapefruit was the only one I was specifically warned about, but after a couple of Google searches I see that seville oranges and other Citrus can cause problems too, depending on the meds. In fact the whole subject of drug/food interactions seems like a massive rabbit hole. Milk can interfere with antibiotics? Fucking hell!
