...concessions for as much as 30% of their revenue, theater owners are introducing more elaborate temptations. Even stylish staples, such as granola bars and premium ice creams, may give way to still more ambitious fare. In the San Francisco area, some theaters now offer beef- or vegetable-filled Russian piroshki and the fruit-filled Jewish pastries, hamantaschen.

The fried Beijing-style dumplings guo tie would be just right with a steaming borscht and a nice change from piroshki. Small fried won tons are a refreshingly different finger food, and the gently sweet miniature split-pea cakes favored by the Empress Dowager Ci Xi would be welcome with ice cream and after-dinner coffee...

Assimilation still seems inexorable. "We want to be part of American culture," says Richard Ou of Flushing. The Russian New Yorkers may keep eating piroshki forever, but, says Sima Blokh of the Brighton Beach public library, "they want to be Americans.
