Lemon curd sounds like it could be something that the British eat, too. After all, they have that nasty stuff called marmalade. But we haven't had very many British immigrants in the last . . . oh . . . 300 years or so, and they've adopted American cuisine. It's probably hard to find ethnic British food in the U.S., in part because of that. Too, and I'm not saying that I agree, but British food doesn't have the best of reputations in America. Maybe there's a restaurant or two in the D.C. area for the visiting diplomats, entourages, ne'er do wells, etc.
Oh, incidentally, Gibraltar (British territory) may have a common border with Portugal. If not, the common border is with Spain, but Portugal is not very far away. There might be a lot of sharing of cuisine.

Why I said the jams. Not the curds.
Although the curds in the nursery rhyme refers to cheese curds not lemon curd.
And now that you have me curious, off to look for recipes for Tomato and pumpkin jams.
Found tomato jam in an Amish cookbook. And all kinds of other jams. I knew they canned many things.
They are into simple living.
Lemon curd=very simple lemon pudding.
