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.  :-)
