    • 1916, P. D. Ouspensky, Разговоры с дьяволом:
      Сначало старший бой принёс горячий, рассыпчатый, душистый рис. Лесли положил на тарелку порядочную порцию. Потом другой бой принёс два блюда с судочками с разными соусами- соус из раковых шеек, соус из рыбы, соус из яиц с томатом, соус из кусочков рублённого мяса, очень противный желтый соус из корня кёрри и соус из какой-то зелени вроде стручков.
      Snačalo staršij boj prinjós gorjačij, rassypčatyj, dušistyj ris. Lesli položil na tarelku porjadočnuju porciju. Potom drugoj boj prinjós dva bljuda s sudočkami s raznymi sousami- sous iz rakovyx šejek, sous iz ryby, sous iz jaic s tomatom, sous iz kusočkov rubljónnovo mjasa, očenʹ protivnyj želtyj sous iz kornja kjórri i sous iz kakoj-to zeleni vrode stručkov.
      At first the old boy brought hot, crumbly, fragrant rice. Leslie put a decent portion on the plate. Then another boy brought two dishes with cruets with different sauces- a crawfish tail sauce, a fish sauce, a sauce of eggs with tomato, a sauce of pieces of diced meat, a very revolting yellow sauce of curry root and a sauce of some kind of green, like husks.
