Vnakladku vs. Vprikusku (tea customs)
vnakladku / vprikusku
also: внакладку, вприкуску
Drinking tea or coffee "vnakladku" (sugar stirred directly into the cup) was costlier and more genteel than the older, thriftier custom "vprikusku" (nibbling a sugar lump between sips); the mother-in-law's upgrade is a small sign the Krytkins now consider themselves risen in the world.
