Uh. Now I’m wondering if the stuff we call marmeladi in Finnish is closer to marmelada or marmalade.

  Orange preserves or very thick gelatin?

    Oh, apparently we overload the word marmeladi to mean both jam-like preserve and thick gelatinous pieces of candy, depending on context.

  It seems like it is closer to the Portuguese stuff, but not that close to either. In Sweden we use the same word for both the orange jam (plus some other kinds of jam) and for the gelatine candy.

    Ah, right, we do too (not very surprisingly). Never really thought about the fact that marmelad jam and marmelad candy aren't really that similar, consistency-wise.
