So do I. My heritage is mainly British but I had Polish friends in
Ontario, Ukrainian friends in Alberta and my oldest granddaughter's
other grandfather is Russian, so I became familiar with it a long
time ago.

My favourite way to prepare it is to fry chopped onions in chicken
fat, toast the groats and then add them to the onions with just
enough chicken broth to moisten them and finish cooking them.
