Question 3

cracked wheat has been cooked in milk, then dried - as often as not a soup is made out of it.

Answer 3

τράχανα

From Bard:

• It’s a dried, fermented product made with cracked wheat (or sometimes flour) and yogurt or buttermilk.
• The mixture goes through a natural fermentation process, giving it a tangy and slightly acidic flavor.
• After fermentation, it’s sun-dried into pebble-sized morsels or ground into a fine powder.
• Both forms are used to create various dishes, primarily soups and porridges.
