There are a lot of really good burger stores. Two of the best burgers I've ever had were in Latvia, as well as some of the best pasta. So, I mean, there's places like B Burger and Street Burger and Mama Pasta, so look that up. One food I do love that's uniquely Latvian is medus kuka, honey cake, and it's a layered cake that you can make on your own time as well. It's like a very sweet and sour cream and it's absolutely delicious and you need to have it as soon as possible.

You've got pelmeni, which are these kind of, they're like Russian dumplings. Those are really good. You've got draniki, which is these potato pancakes, kind of like latkes, but not really, but they're just really good. And there's shashliki and the fish, ooh, the fish in Riga, really good. But yeah, there's amazing food. Just like go out there and explore. There's so much.

So my favorite thing to eat in Latvia is the medus kuka, which is honey cake. It's the most delicious thing. There's also a restaurant called Lido, and it has all authentic Latvian food. We went a lot, it's really good, and I would highly suggest going there because then you can really know what Latvians eat and what they like to eat.

Make sure to get some honey cake and Lima chocolate is delicious. They've got a chocolate factory right in Riga. It's so good. And make sure that you get the aloe vera drink. Those are my favorites. Also, the bagel shop and Bee Burger is the best. If you get to serve in Riga, make sure to stop by there.

My two favorite foods would have to be one, debes mana. You can get it at a store, but honestly have a local make it for you. It is to die for. And then meroscuca. It's a honey cake. So they do the layers of honey and it is so delicious. Again, if the local is there, ask them how to make it because making it is so much better than the stores. But Remy's has a really good one. So those two are amazing. They have really good cereals there. Pomegranate cereal is one of my favorites. If you can go to Lido's, they have amazing food there. It's, you know, you go and sit down and you take your tray and you look at all the foods, but it's delicious.
