Examples

“[Alexander] Pushkin’s favourite varenye, or liquidy jam, was gooseberry, and indeed it would have been hard not to have liked such a varenye made in the traditional way.”
There were nuns who, when receiving guests, put two varieties of jam [“varenye” in Russian] in their plates and poured vegetable oil onto it. When asked why they had done that, the nuns replied, “This is what the Church calendar says: two ‘varenyes’ with oil.””
