Lithuanian cuisine

Cereals and vegetables are widely used in Lithuanian cookery; potatoes are especially popular, from which dumplings, pancakes, zepelinai (zrazy) are prepared, etc. Buckets are prepared from grated raw potatoes and large pork intestines. Potatoes are also used for making dumplings. Due to the widespread use of potatoes, the Lithuanian cuisine is close to the Belarusian one.

Milk and lactic acid products (cottage cheese, curdled milk and sour cream) occupy an important place in Lithuanian cuisine. Cold Lithuanian borscht is made from kefir in summer. Of the meat products, pork is widely used, to a lesser extent beef and veal.

Meat products are popular in Lithuania - hams, sausages, bacon. Delicious rolls of natural pork and beef are prepared here, as well as rolls of minced meat, poultry and offal. A popular national dish is shupinis - a special porridge made from peas, potatoes and fried pork meat.

Potatoes and rye bread with caraway seeds are served with meat dishes in Lithuania. In Lithuanian cuisine, spices and hot seasonings are rarely used.

Popular drinks include black coffee, kvass, homemade beer made from barley malt. Lithuanians also love confectionery, compotes, jelly, whipped cream.
