Nyanya or niania (Russian: няня) is an ancient Russian dish. It consists of a sheep's abomasum stuffed[1] with mutton brains, head meat, legs, onion and buckwheat porridge. After that, the dish can be fried in lard [2] or baked in the oven in a clay pot.[3]
The dish is known from the 9th century.
Nyanya was forbidden by the Russian Orthodox Church because pagan Slavs used the dish in their rituals.
