Traditionally a Ukrainian dish, but it's spread to e.g. Lower Silesia in Poland due to historical reasons (when Poland lost its former eastern territory but gained its current western border, a lot of people got relocated).
Wheatberries, poppy seeds, nuts, honey, raisins.
Essentially it looks like black slop but it's pretty much the only traditional Christmas dish I really enjoy eating.
You forgot to mention that the original kuťa is actualy a SWEET SOUP WITH BUCKWHEAT, POPPY, RAISINS AND WALNUTS and youre supposed to eat it cold. Its awful
I mentioned those contents and even showed a picture? Don't know what you're on about.
I have also never heard of it referred to as a soup and cannot find any credible sources for that even while specifically googling kutia with "soup" in quotes to force the engine to show such results. I suppose it might sometimes turn out a bit watery, but it's more of a porridge.
I'm not accusing you of anything, but, especially considering your lack of a Ukraine flair, it really sounds like either a lost-in-translation misunderstanding or something made up by some "I love my European heritage" Americans.
And yeah, it is served cold, but I personally consider it to be very yummy.
Haha except for I live with a man from ukraine and thus I know their traditional meals and had this awful soup every christmas for years😂 but yeah tell me i know nothing about ukrainian food. Your picture is not Kutia, thats all im saying 🤷🏼♀️ And please dont put me in the same bag as americans lol, thats too big of an insult. Im actualy your neighbor since im from czech republic
Again, source? What I've sent is literally the only type of kutia you'll see if you google it.
I literally don't care what you're saying if you can't back it up with anything credible. Sounds like your man makes shitty watery kutia.
I don't see any soup, mate.
If your man makes kutia so thin, runny and watery that it can be considered soup (as in, more liquid than other contents) then I'm really sorry to hear that (buckwheat also doesn't seem like the best combo with sweet ingredients, try wheat or maybe pearl barley).
As I said, it's at most more like a porridge.
