Ahhh, but it *is* good. Kasha is buckwheat groats, which are
served cooked. A tasty dish is kasha varnishkes, which is a
cooked mixture of kasha and bowtie-shaped noodles. Both of
these are served, typically, as side dishes with meat dishes.
Plain kasha also is used as a filling in knishes, in place
of potato.
Kasha is a Russian / East European foodstuff. Here in
New York, kasha varnishkes and kasha knishes usually are found
in Jewish neighborhoods. Every self-respecting delicatessen here
has them on the menu, and some supermarkets even carry
ready-to-heat versions.
This should be more than you ever wanted to know about
the subject :-) .

I forget that there are many in this country who have never enjoyed
"Kasha Varniskas" (Cooked buckwheat Groats and boy tie noodles) and
"Bubke", (sweet coffee cake like bread, usually cinamon, or chocolate
swirl) Both are delectable and popular with Eastern European Jews.
Nothing bad about a house smelling like Kasha!

No it sounds pretty bad doesn't it? :-) Hmm... wonder what it is.

I'm with you, Beth! Kasha and Babka are both great. But I'd sure love
to see some of those "BOY TIE" noodles! Maybe they would induce
fake..or even real orgasm!

Kasha is, actually, buckwheat groats. They are like a coarse cereal.
You cook them up like oatmeal and they smell AWFUL while this
process is going on. Some people eat the resulting slop with a
dollop of sour cream on top. Yum! Take me to the diner! :>

The jewish word for "shit" is "dreck" not kasha.
Kasha is a grain, very popular in eastern european countries.
BTW, on an old Seinfeld episode the one about the keys, I happened to
notice a Mazzozah on Elaine's front door.

HUH? Kasha is a grain... makes for a wonderful morning cereal and is
good when baking bread. Just isn't so common in this culture...
doesn't mean it is shit, though.

traditional jewish dish. Furthermore, kasha or buckweat, has the highest
level of protein of any plant, and more protein than eggs.
I turned a freind whose is allergic to gluten onto it, and he assures me
it does not taste like "shit".

And who said kasha smells bad?
