Fans discuss kasha, a grain and pasta dish, debating whether George Costanza's character could have Jewish heritage based on food references and the likelihood of name changes at Ellis Island.

I know Kasha to be a barley and (bow tie) pasta combination. Delicious!!

I know a little Russian [very little] ... but i think that "Kasha" means anything cereal , or cereal like.

I didn't catch the beginning of this thread, but kasha isn't neccesarily a Jewish dish. It is an Easter tradition in my family (of Polish descent on both sides) to have it with Easter soup.

True, I thought of that as soon as I hit Send. Of course, if they were Russian or Polish it would be even more unlikely that their name would be Costanza. Maybe their name was changed when they arrived at Ellis Island.

Actually, that's Kasha Varnishkes (sp?). Kashsa is just the buckwheat groats.
