    Sült (jellied meat)



    I'd recommend our version of potato salad, too.



    And local black rye bread, of course...



    Why not try out kohuke, too, as we have been talking about it... It can be found pretty much in every store. Karums is the most popular Latvian brand.



    Local beer... Saku and A. Le Coq are the most popular brands.

    There's lots of other good stuff... Just see what's on the offer.

    Lithuanian food looks unusual to me.

    Thank you, both EWtt and Waidewut! I think that I will skip the black pudding, though. We also have it in the cuisine where I come from and I've always utterly despised it.

    The name (verivorst = blood sausage) is more awful than the taste.

    We got the black pudding from the Germans, but now that I think of it, our sült should also be Swedish in origin, you call it "sylta".

    If Anachronistic would come in April, I would recommend him to drink birch tree sap.

    Fermented birch tree sap will be available in summer, though I have no idea in exactly which place you can get it.
    Or if you are an extremist I recommend curled milk/soured milk.

    Best beers according to myself are Užavas, Tērvetes and Brenguļi.
    You should try also Riga Black Balsam

    I do not recommend this drink. When I drank this the worst things ever happened to me.

    I woke up in the morning.. sad that the party was over, I thought I fell asleep. Actually.. I had been running around for hours doing the stupidest thing Ive ever done.

    This with milk and ice is much much better.

    We also eat jelled meat.
    And And potatoes with pork and sauerkraut.

    I guess they all are quite similar...
    I was hungry when I clicked on this thread, but then I did read your post and lost my appetite...

    Lithuanian cuisine looks quite different and not so good, from my (Estonian) perspective.

    That is because one must treat the holly black balsam as medicine, not just an alcoholic drink.
    Possibly it is just too Latvian for Estonians to handle.
    We have a new version of Riga Black Balsam, with black currant taste and that one is just heavenly.
