I have always ...Thanks for clarifying this, Galina! I have always thought of buckwheat as Russian (maybe because of 'kasha'?), but if you've never heard of it, maybe it's indeed Estonian combination. Let me know what other Russians thought of its origins. <BR/>(And remember, we once had a similar discussion about 'pasha' - in Estonia it's known as originating from Russia, whereas you weren't familiar with this Easter dessert. But then again, Russia is huge, so there are variations between regions. Maybe our perception of Russian cuisine is based on the foods of Pskov/Saint Petersburgh region).<BR/>Anyway - maybe I can bring some along next time we meet for dinner:)Pillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05817049547134774699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13695947.post-1126378543706350702005-09-10T21:55:00.000+03:002005-09-10T21:55:00.000+03:00I think it is a purely Estonian dish, Russians are...I think it is a purely Estonian dish, Russians are very fond of buckwheat, but I've never seen anything like this in Russia. Will certainly try it!

Cheap mail-order? Don't know, unfortunately. But my Russian friends in Edinburgh go mushroom picking every autumn and they promised to take me along. Too late for chantarelles, I'm afraid, but there should be other mushrooms..<BR/><BR/>Spinning Girl - ega peagi lugema.

This sounds like something I'd like as I like mushrooms and "cereal-y" things. I have never had buckwheat and I have no idea what my chances are of finding it here (sigh), but you just gave me an idea when you mentioned health food store...will check that out :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
