    DM>> ;() Russian make a nice threat mostly with water and gelatin.   
    AH>> Alan said "treat"... not "threat".  These are different words, which   
    AH>> have different meanings & are also pronounced differently.   
    DM>> Treat - Russian "sud" or what?   
   :)    
    AH>           My knowledge of Russian is severely limited, and Uncle Google   
    AH> was of no help there... so I must resort to explaining the idea in   
    AH> English.  A treat, where Alan & I come from, may be a food item a person   
    AH> rarely enjoys because it costs more money than they are willing to pay   
    AH> except on special occasions &/or because it's incompatible with their   
    AH> usual fat/calorie/carbohydrate allowance.   
   And threatment/treatment?   
      
    AH>           WRT marshmallows, the original recipe... which included egg   
    AH> whites & marshmallow root... was altered to make them cheaper & easier to   
    AH> produce.  All the examples I've seen consist mainly of sugar, corn   
    AH> starch,   
   What is corn starch?   
      
    AH> and water.  There are other sweets I'd much rather have if I want   
    AH> to go that route... [chuckle].
