(I know I know, that one is as old as the horrible taste of kasha)
I actually like orzo, and use it in my reverse engineered rice-a-roni when I don't feel like making a mess and breaking up vermicelli.
RE: Kasha. So pre-pandemic, I often shopped at the Russian supermarkets (e.g. Net Cost, et al.) out in Brighton Beach/Sheepshead Bay. Aisles of buckwheat groats/buckwheat/kasha in those places.
And I brought a bunch of different homes to see if I might've misremembered as to how, ummmm, awful the stuff is.
I hadn't.
It might be a decent vehicle for about a quart of gravy, however.
