<<< What's a "Zakuska" table?
Stefan >>>
It's a snack table or smorgasbord. The word derives from the Russian
verb
"zakusit'," "to take a small bite." It's unclear just when the practice
developed, but I suspect the modern Zakuska table dates from the 18th
Century when Russia began to embrace European modernity.

So is this more like a buffet? or a sideboard or something else?
Shoshanna sounded like she did one during or in addition to a Russian
themed feast. So, Shoshanna, was this more like a tasting-table or a
sideboard? Both of which we've discussed here, or was it something else?
