Hi, Denis!  Recently you wrote in a message to Ardith Hinton:

 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>  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].
