But try to buy Marmalade in Seville. Marmalad(e?) in Spanish means jam or jelly. If you ask for orange jam (marmalade do naranjas) you just get that "be nice to the poor stupid tourist" smile that says you're not making sense. Apparently the bitter Seville orange my mom made marmalade from is not una naranja at all but has a completely different name and preserve they make from it also has a different name from marmalade. I guess it is not just English that gets itself in a twist.
