   Hi, Denis!  Recently you wrote in a message to Ardith Hinton:   
      
    AH>  I eat perhaps one or two a year, unless called upon to   
    AH>  make an ambrosia salad... which the local deli will   
    AH>  gladly provide if they don't run out of it before I get   
    AH>  there.  We use the full-sized version only when we're   
    AH>  on a camping trip & our daughter insists on 'smores   
    AH>  cooked over the fire....  :-))   
      
    DM>  "Deli" - Delivery service?   
      
      
             Good guess... especially since, with restrictions placed on where we   
   can go & with whom because of COVID-19, many people are having food delivered.   
   But what I meant was a delicatessen, a specialty shop &/or a corner of a large   
   grocery store which has e.g. cooked meats & pre-prepared salads for sale.  :-)   
      
      
      
    DM>  ;() Russian make a nice threat mostly with water and   
    DM>  gelatin.   
      
    AH>  Alan said "treat"... not "threat".  These are different   
    AH>  words, which have different meanings & are also pronounced   
    AH>  differently.   
      
    DM>  Treat - Russian "sud" or what?   
      
      
             My knowledge of Russian is severely limited, and Uncle Google was of   
   no help there... so I must resort to explaining the idea in English.  A treat,   
   where Alan & I come from, may be a food item a person rarely enjoys because it   
   costs more money than they are willing to pay except on special occasions &/or   
   because it's incompatible with their usual fat/calorie/carbohydrate allowance.   
      
             WRT marshmallows, the original recipe... which included egg whites &   
   marshmallow root... was altered to make them cheaper & easier to produce.  All   
   the examples I've seen consist mainly of sugar, corn starch, and water.  There   
   are other sweets I'd much rather have if I want to go that route... [chuckle].
