I didn’t know that and I don’t think we were taught that detail. He was from New Zealand and ‘we count that’ as some say. The teachers probably stressed the British expedition part of the truth. I can’t stand Seville orange marmalade but lime marmalade is good.

Aussie here. Home made seville orange marmalade is the good stuff. Everything else is just gross orange sugar goop. If I wanted to spread flavoured sucrose onto my bread, there are much more appealing options like blackberry. (And don't get me started about lime. Lime is the most overrated citrus.)

  Where can you buy Seville orange marmalade in Aus? The cheap marmalade you buy from Coles is like gelatin + sugar with some orange food coloring.

    Nowhere. I have to make it myself or wait for my mum to produce a new batch. She has so much interest that she makes 20–30 jars at a time.

  My mum emigrated to Gold Coast decades ago - still makes great marmalade in her 80s!

Hillary also really pissed off the British explorer Fuchs on the Trans-Antarctic Expedition by racing ahead to the South Pole when he was only supposed to be laying out food caches. [1] But here in NZ, we kinda like the fact that he stuck it to the British. We even have one of his modified tractors in the Canterbury Museum. Another random factoid - part of Hillary's team was Peter Mulgrew, who died in the Erebus disaster[2] having replaced Hillary as the tour guide at the last minute.
