thread_title:  buckwheat? 

message: I absolutely agree. In Poland at least, kasza (pronouced kasha) is any cereal (or pseudocereal) kernels broken down, but not to the extent of being a flour.
So, you can have "kasza kukurydziana" (maize kasha -stuff used for polenta), kasza gryczana (dehusked buckwheat) or kasza manna (farina) - all of different textures. What is in common is that the kernels are not ground as finely as in flour.
: in my family, from western Ukraine, it is always buckwheat, and nothing else. --Richardson mcphillips (talk) 19:06, 2 February 2017 (UTC)
replies: text:  It's actually to do with the WP:COMMONNAME usage. Buckwheat porridge ('гречана каша') is often abbreviated to just kasha, but 'каша' itself is porridge in general. --Iryna Harpy (talk) 22:06, 2 February 2017 (UTC)

message: I did some cleanup on this page. I added citation tags, changed the Cleanup to a sources tag and did some minor text edits.  Page looks pretty good otherwise.  Only other suggestion is that the Categories may need to be expanded to include other food categories. --Lendorien 19:48, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

message: I do not know who was the idiotic person who inserted those buckman/buckgirl and party references and I tried to repair the article.
But I do not have enough knowledge about kasha (I am Romanian, and we do not have such a dish). —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Adi.Dr. (talk • contribs) 23:04, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

message: * Щи да каша - пища наша. Russian: Shchi (cabbage soup) and kasha are our staples.
* Kad prisivirei košės tai ir srėbk! Lithuanian: You made the porridge, now eat it!  (cf. English: You made your bed, now lie in it!)
: The second one has also a Russian variant: Сам заварил кашу, сам и расхлебывай. Pretty much the same as Lithuanian variant. Veryblackraven (talk) 14:24, 5 December 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  Harry rats?  Elephat pads? 

message: What exactly is "Kasha" - the Americanised Russian word for buckwheat porridge? Or an anglicised Russian term for something else? The definition seems to wave between gretchka, buckwheat and groats. It is very unclear.101.98.140.129 (talk) 05:00, 15 January 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: In Russian and Ukrainian the word "kasha" means just plain "porridge", but in the US it is used to mean buckwheat porridge (in Russian it's called "grechnevaya kasha" (buckwheat "kasha") or simply "grechka"). Nimbie95 (talk) 17:55, 15 June 2015 (UTC)

text: As noted by Nimbie95, buckwheat is a different proposition to the generic term "kasha" (or porridge). In Ukrainian, buckwheat porridge is known as "hrechana kasha". Buckwheat is simply "hrechka". The same goes for Polish and Belarusian: kasha is a generic porridge, whereas buckwheat kasha is a specific dish. --Iryna Harpy (talk) 00:23, 16 June 2015 (UTC)

text: To join on the discussion, yes, "kasha" refers to cereal porridge which can be prepared from different grains.  However, the most common and widespread in use is buckwheat which leads to the understanding that usually "kasha" means buckwheat porridge.  Also, buckwheat can be prepared in different ways with varying results.  Boiling up unroasted buckwheat groats yields a very robust thick glutenous porridge somewhat akin to thick oatmeal.  If roast whole groats are prepared the resulting buckwheat is akin to whole rice.  The preparation of milled roasted buckwheat results in a thinner consistency porridge.Федоров (talk) 19:55, 5 February 2017 (UTC)
