Corsican soup with spelled
Now the word "spelled" is known only thanks to Pushkin's "The Tale of the Priest and His Worker Balda". Remember, Balda says there: "I was given boiled spelled" ... Spelled is a relative of wheat, and they cooked porridge from it in Russia. Nowadays spelled is popular in some Mediterranean countries. In Corsica, a delicious soup is made from it.
