   Hi, Denis!  Recently you wrote in a message to Alan Ianson:   
      
    AI>  Marshmallows are a confection made with (mostly) sugar,   
    AI>  water and gelatin.   
      
    AI>  They make a nice treat but I wouldn't eat too many of   
    AI>  them. ;)   
      
      
              Agreed.  I eat perhaps one or two a year, unless called upon to   
   make an ambrosia salad... which the local deli will gladly provide if they   
   don't run out of it before I get there.  We use the full-sized version only   
   when we're on a camping trip & our daughter insists on 'smores cooked over the   
   fire....  :-))   
      
      
      
    DM>  ;() Russian make a nice threat mostly with water and   
    DM>  gelatin.   
      
      
              Alan said "treat"... not "threat".  These are different words,   
   which have different meanings & are also pronounced differently.   
      
      
      
    DM>  But they make it on last step with a bit little sugars   
    DM>  ("pudra") on top (from/by opening hand with "pudra").   
      
      
              I'm curious about the meaning of this word in Russian because of   
   its similarity to "powder" in English & to "poudre" in French.   
      
              I imagine you're referring to what we'd call powdered sugar or   
   icing sugar or confectioner's sugar.  In English, the adjectives refer to the   
   size of the sugar particles... is that what you have in mind?  If so I can   
   relate.  :-)
