When I studied and worked abroad in Ukraine and Russia, I hated the standard kasha. One day, my host mother made me mana kasha, and I LOVED it. A week later, she told me it's what she fed her children when they were babies. Womp womp. Well, this isn't exactly mana kasha, but the texture is similar and I love it just the same.
