Favorite foods
Watch VideosI don't know what it's called, but there's like fried potatoes with like meat and stuff. Super good.
I absolutely love Chalatibarche, like super good. I made it one time when I came home, actually a couple weeks ago. Family didn't like it, I ate a lot of it. Really good. They also, they have like the best produce over there. Like the fruit, the berries, and the vegetables are incredible. You'll get some people that'll feed you some vegetables and some fruit and whoo, really good. Way better than over here. And then they have zeppelini is another good food that it's really heavy, but really good. Potatoes, a lot of potatoes, but I loved it. Honestly, Lithuanians have some of the best food, so be stoked.
There was this one juice that we could buy at Maxima. Watermelon drink, Jolly Rancher drink, because it was just straight candy in liquid form. This watermelon apple drink, delicious. I really like the Varska Donuts. The store-bought ones are okay. We made homemade ones. Other Starrett, those are prime. Those are the ones that I really liked. In terms of actual Lithuanian food, I like the way they did their cucumbers and tomatoes. Some of their chicken. Probably my favorite actual Lithuanian dish is a seplene, which is kind of like this potato starch meat butter thing that will sit in your stomach as a rock for hours, but it tastes really good and is really unhealthy. But I really like that.
So my favorite foods are tsepeliny, potato dumplings, also meat dishes, a lot of potato dishes, different soups. We have a lot of different soups. They're not like mashy, but they are just with cut in pieces, everything.
I personally find that I have never eaten better in my life than I have in Lithuania. Because Lithuania is located in Central Europe, you literally have every other country importing their products into Lithuania, so at the grocery store you can literally get fresh Italian mozzarella, Danish chocolate, Welsh cheddar, Spanish dried meats, anything under the sun, and even your American stuff. They got like these Mexican knockoff things, Texaco, which I find was, it was pretty good. But concerning Lithuanian dishes, I really enjoyed kolduni, which is basically these Russian dumplings with sour cream and dill on top, shaltibashe, the pink soup, absolutely fantastic, I love the two. But I was also a big fan of kvass, which is basically this non-alcoholic drink that tastes like liquefied rye bread and with a little hint of brown sugar. It sounds weird, I know, but I actually rather enjoyed that. And you can get literally any juice under the sun, that was also really good too. But another big thing too was kuchos, which is Christmas Eve dinners, were absolutely fantastic. They have like a lot of like fish products and like vegetables and whatnot, and it was just absolutely immaculate, so freaking good.
