Yep, which is how they used to preserve the oranges! Just slow cook in sugar syrup. It's amazing how much cooking we do came about due to a lack of fresh ingredients

This is not true. Confit is as much a preservation technique as anything, although that's not as vital as a requirement these days. Confit comes from the French verb confire, which literally means to preserve. You can't just call anything slow-cooked in a liquid confit.

Exactly, as long as you have good quality fresh produce you shouldn’t have to worry about keeping to such standards.

Genoa also had the earliest examples of double-entry accounting and maritime insurance

It’s a bit pedantic to correct others over such trivial matters. We all understand what that means, they both mean exactly the same. Also, stating it’s very important, is not really correct. It might be to you, so go forth and be a good example in the world, but you can’t force anyone else to treat things you deem to be important as also important. It comes across a bit condescending
