Dundee Marmalade Lamb Chops
"Thanks to a Mrs. Keiller of Dundee, who bought a load of surplus oranges and made them into marmalade, Dundee will forever be associated with that fruit (and jute and journalism as well as jam). So whenever marmalade is added to a Scottish recipe it is immediately labeled as "Dundee". The quantities below will serve four (unless the chops are very small or the appetites are large)."

Found myself with two thick fresh lamb leg chops and decided to give your recipe a go. The marmalade and ginger imparted such a lovely flavour. The vinegar must be the trick - the chops were lovely and tender. I served them with Baked Sweet Onions (#18326), which turned out to be a great match. Thank you for sharing – brilliant! -
What a great flavor for lamb I loved them. Because I was only cooking for two I cut the recipe in half (worked fine) and took one liberty - I used Robertsons Ginger Marmalade and omitted the ground ginger . Very tasty recipe - I love lamb so this is a great addition to my lamb recipes Thanks Miller and Mrs Dundee -
I made this with loin chops from Costco. I used Dundee marmalade which cost double the price of Smuckers but hoped it would be worth it. After cooking on the lowest flame possible this were overdone after 25 minutes. The marmalade had all but disappeared into the vinegar sauce. I made there for a house guest from Scotland. Although they were fairly tender they lacked flavor and as I said, overdone. Sorry, but I will not make again. -
These were excellent! We're not big fans of lamb, but like it once in a while for a change of pace. We tried these tonight and they were the BEST lamb chops we ever had! Very easy to make and a perfect blend of flavors. -
I tried this with some really thick pork chops. Was different and turned out pretty good although I cooked it slightly longer than I should have. Used orange marmalade and wasn't too bad. Something different for your pork

The outpouring of support from the Recipezaar community while his health was declining was a huge comfort to him and even "perked him up" a bit in his final month. Miller was a huge asset to Recipezaar, not only due to his incredible collection of recipes, but his participation in the forums. Miller was known for his wonderful low-sodium recipes, his warmth, and last, but not least, his wicked, dry sense of humor.

No, the picture to the left is not me. It is, in fact, a picture of famous TV Chef Jamie Oliver (a/k/a Thpit Boy)’s grandfather, the late Sir Topaz McWhacker. Note the strong family resemblance, most noticeable in the nose, eyebrows, and general lack of cleanliness Legend has it that Topaz taught Thpit everything that he knows about whacking and about only washing and combing his hair twice a year.

Instead of the trivia that many Recipezaar members have displayed on their “About Me” pages, I thought it might be a tad more helpful if I were to provide some beneficial information that you can put to good practical use either in your own kitchen or when you are watching the antics of some celebrated TV chefs. So, for your enlightenment.....

Chairman Kaga:
When he says “Ion Shff”, he really means “Iron Chef” or, perhaps, “I need a Kleenex”
.
Chef Paula Deen:
When she says “awl”, she really means “oil”.
When she says “y’all”, she really means “everyone except m’all”.
When she says “bring the water to a bawl”, I have no clue what she means - I thought you could only make a baby “bawl”.
And, boys and girls, you can easily Deenize the sentences that you use in your very own kitchen, such as “All y’all can bawl your corn in olive awl or wrap it in aluminum fawl”.
.
Emeril Lagasse:
When he says “confectionery sugar’, he really means “confectioners’ sugar”.
When he says “pappa-reeka”, he really means “paprika”.
When he says “inside of”, he really means “in”.
When he says “a little”, he really means “a lot”. Have you ever tried to count the number of times he says “a little” during any given show? Don’t – it will drive you nuts.
When he says “cardamin”, he really means “cardamom”.
When he says “my water don’t come seasoned”, what he really means is “I need a new joke writer”.
When he says “that www dot food thing”, he really means “I flunked Computerese 101”.
.
Iron Chef Morimoto:
When he says “Foo Netwu”, he really means “Food Network”.
.
Dessert Dude Jacques Torres:
When he says “I going”, he really means “I am going”. (The verb “to be” has apparently been deleted from the French language.)
.
Spit Boy Jamie Oliver:
When he says “whack it in the oven”, he really means “I am into hot, kinky stuff”.
When he says “Bob’s yer uncle”, what he really means is “you’d better ask your aunt how well she REALLY knew that mailman named Robert”.
When he says “rocket”, he really means “an older weapon being used in Iraq”.
When he says “Fewd Netwuk”, he really means “Food Network”.
.
Numerous chefs:
When they say “codfish” and “tunafish”, what they really mean is “cod” and “tuna”, respectively. Please note that they use these terms so that you don’t go out and buy “codanimal” or “tunavegetable” by mistake. Having said that, I have no clue as to why they don’t refer to “troutfish”, “salmonfish”, “red snapperfish”, etc., etc.
.
Giggly-Wiggly Rachael Ray:
When she says “EVOO”, she really means “don’t use BOCO (boring old corn oil)”.
When she says “a little lettuce action going on”, she really means “with only 8 minutes left in the game, cabbages are still in the lead, but lettuces are making a strong comeback”.
.
Two Fat Ladies:
When they say “I gwing”, they really mean “I am going” or “Sorry, but we have been watching too many episodes of Jacques Torres’ show”.

Please note that the above is not all-inclusive. If there are other celebrity chef words or phrases that have you stumped, please post an "ISO" message in the discussion forums and I will find the translation for you.
