sernik for Easter?

Anyone bake or serve sernik (cheesecake) as part of their Easter feast? I understand some contain semolina? Anyone familiar with those?

I don't know what semolina is. But yeah we receive a sernik every easter and christmas from our next door neighbour, I'm pretty confident that it's the cream of the crop of all serniks ;) the very creme de la creme of "serniksecity"...

frd: semolina is a special type of processed wheat if I am not mistaken. It is used exclusively in pasta making process, but I cannot really see it being used in sernik.

Isn't it called kaszka manna in Polish?

Polonius3: kaszka manna no and it would be kasza not kaszka.

Semolina is a pudding of sorts, not such a great one at that. I used to hate it as a kid. Tapioca is much better :) Frd is right, cheesecake is used all year round. I'm often treated to it in Zabrze when I'm at my wife's parents' place. It's not exclusive to Easter.

yuk. :X

Seanus:

not exclusive and to me has never been inclusive of easter (4 me).. pączki, yes.. other stuff, yes.. sernik.. no.

frd:

exactly.. and as i said somewhere in the last couple of days, polonius doesn't show to be of sound mind, at times.

plk123: sernik is not an easter thing.. x-mas, sure. must be regional thing. Sernik was a sure thing for both Christmas and Easter wherever I lived in Poland.

^^ maybe the case as i don't ever recall sernink at easter.. could have been just my family or something too.. maybe there was just never any room for it after all the other eats. :D

With me it was the other way around. I usually got stuffed with sernik first. Sometimes I had enough room for makowiec.
