Relish The Lithuanian Cuisine

With a history that dates back to the middle ages, Lithuanian food traditions span the centuries. In many ways, Lithuania’s food mirrors a history filled with prosperity, melting cultures, oppression and rebirth. Authentic Lithuanian cuisine should be sampled during your visit to the country. The cuisine served here is steeped in culinary history and experience. Root vegetables (potatoes and beets), meat, and dairy products are heavily used in Lithuanian cuisine, all of which can be grown in the cold climate.

Lithuanian cuisine is filling, hearty, and designed to keep you warm on the inside. The best way to enjoy them is to go to the location where the dish was created. For example, buckwheat boba and potato banda are popular in Dzukija, and cibuline soup is popular in Samogitia. While traveling to Aukstaitija, don’t forget to have a glass of home-brewed beer, which is commonly known as gira. If you enjoy cooking, then you can even have the opportunity to put on an apron and try your hands on cooking authentic cuisines with experienced chefs. This is definitely one of the most interesting things to know before traveling to Lithuania.
