spit/skewer Explanation: I'd suggest using any of this (this way the word вертел) is translated. I'd choose skewer, since this the seme "small" in its definition, which shpazhka must be having. Cheers, |

canape Explanation: This is a precise term denoting a type of sandwich, which is, by the way, of French origin too. It means that a small sndwich is 'pinned' by a small stick (in Russian - small sword). |
