We always called this something different though – I'm not sure on the actual spelling (I don't speak Estonian – yet!), but phonetically we used to call it "rosa muna".

So glad I can help you - and your bf - to eat more Estonian dishes :) What you're describing isn't roosamanna/mannavaht, but mannapuder - it's not usually whipped (though now thinking of it, I cannot see why not :))<br /><br />Anna - thank you for the inclusion in your Recipe Carousel!<br /><br />Anon. - did it work?<br /><br />Inese - welcome to Nami-Nami! Have you got any Polish shops the town where you live in the UK? (There were quite a few in Edinburgh, so I assume most cities have at least one). They're a good place to look for semolina, sour cream, sauerkraut and even good curd cheese/tvorog.Pillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05817049547134774699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13695947.post-81826764656912619622009-08-12T23:14:30.297+03:002009-08-12T23:14:30.297+03:00Hiya, I am wondering where do you buy cream of whe...Hiya, I am wondering where do you buy cream of wheat or manna in UK? I have been looking for it, but all I can find is that other semolina, yellow one which didn't work for me making this recipee. I am from Latvia, by the way, so I am used to eat it since my childhood, too and now I am really craving for some "heaven-manna", but seems that it's hard to find it here.. :( <br /><br />Thanks in advance, <br />IneseAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13695947.post-62940573438830702962008-10-05T03:22:00.000+03:002008-10-05T03:22:00.000+03:00Hi!

In Puerto Rico, where I'm from, we eat lots and lots of hot cereals for breakfast....especially children....and my favorite was always cream of wheat.....which we called farina. BUT.....I learned something new on your blog....THANK YOU! I had NO IDEA that you could whip farina after cooking and cooling to make it light and fluffy. I am going to give it a try and mix it with pitahaya pulp to see how it comes out!

Thank you for the post - your site has made it a bit easier as my boyfriend is from Estonia, and I am always looking for Estonian recipes. <BR/><BR/>He has made this particular recipe since childhood. The only real difference would be instead of fruit juice, he used milk, and replaced the juice with jam. This is the way I have made it, and it is fantastic. We tried your version just last evening and it was so good, a very nice change from the recipe he knows.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13695947.post-1156165081730542952006-08-21T15:58:00.000+03:002006-08-21T15:58:00.000+03:00Clivia - your poor papa!!!

I can just imagine how annoying cleaning a egg-sprinkled microwave must have been!<BR/><BR/>Dagmar - we also had kasza manna/mannapuder/semolina porridge for breakfast very often. I liked mine with a dollop of jam, though nowadays I prefer butter. Whipped semolina pudding is not really a breakfast fare, but a dessert.<BR/><BR/>Kalyn - though I've come across - and can make - much nicer desserts, I still crave my childhood dishes every now and then. I don't think this type of semolina porridge is very widespread outside the region.<BR/><BR/>Bea - it is simple, humble and delicious indeed. <BR/><BR/>Joey - thanks! As I told to Dagmar, I had cream of wheat/manna porridge for breakfast a lot, too. But we always had it with jam:) <BR/><BR/>Chufi - glad you like the intriguing idea:)<BR/><BR/>Tiina - have you met an Estonian who doesn't like mannavaht?
