    Tonight's episode had george's parents' house smelling like dandruff and something called "kasha" (I know I'm probably not spelling it right).

    What the heck is this?

    Seinfeld Season 6 Episode 17 - The Doctor
    George Costanza's dad is in bed with George (crashing at his place) and he offers him kascha, which George declines. So we're talking about the food, no doubt. :-)

    the grain, not the actor, or even Eddie Murphy :)
    Kascha Varnischkas (pardon my transliteration) is Kascha with sauteed
    (OK fried) onions and bow-tie pasta. Since many people refer to this
    as simply kascha (it's pretty much the only dish I have had with
    kascha in it - and I like it, but it does smell a little --- funky)
    I assume this is the disk they referred to, not just the boiled grain.
    Is this a type of health food? Then I doubt that the Costanzas would be eating it. I thought they meany _cassia_ (pronounced kasha), which is a
    type of tree or shrub that produces a seasoning that can also be used as a laxative (thus explaining why
    the Costanzas would be using it). I seriously doubt that the
    Costanzas would be eating anything as exotiv as what you described.
