Another one for the beet lovers. I can't quite figure out a menu
that would include these. Colorwise, they might be nice for
Valentine's Day. I am envisioning a sour cream and dill topping,
probably because of borscht. (I am forgetting how to spell that;
senility must be creeping in!)

==================================

You spelled it just fine! I've always liked that word: "borscht" .
Makes a satisfying substitute for a number of much nastier words.
"Oh BORSCHT!"

Yes, Borscht is correct, and I like your idea of the topping.

Hey, Barb likes pancakes. I wonder if she'd notice these were red? <veg>

LOL! And if she did, would she suspect...

Probably depends upon the regional source.
In Russian Cyrillic, it's BOPW, where the 'P' is an 'R' (like Greek
Rho), and the 'W' is a single character pronounced SHCH.
(Think "fresh cheese"). (And the W character derives from a Shem, with
an added tail on the right side...)

In case it can get through: ????

You're inconsistent: the B above is pronounced like a V.

Ya, but how the hell do you enter the *right* "B", using western text?
I tried to paste in the Cyrillic, but must not have held my tongue
(yazik) right as I did it!

I do love playing with Cyrillic cognates, though.
If we ever buy another Mazda (my Miata is 14+ years old, and I'm not
changing my personalized plate!), I'm buying "3YM 3YM".
Was walking through a parking lot a few years ago, and saw a pickup with
the plate "KYPCK". City, battle, or submarine?

If you want another small puzzle, my plate reads "D 0X07"
