RE: Authentic Lithuanian Cuisine You Can Find In Any Supermarket

As an American, many of those foods are made available to us either through Amazon or the local grocery. The local rye bread is not nearly as good as yours. I love the European ride because it is of a denser quality and I actually do not find it sour, but rather enjoy the flavor. It could be because that is the way my mother made it. By the way, she is French, so I guess perhaps the French have there bread in much the same manner. I found it hilarious the first time I saw it on Amazon and their biggest shout-out was that it was authentic. I have seen that cottage cheese and my mother even used to make it squeezing and squeezing it for days. I can remember her using a cheesecloth and a wooden piece of equipment. Nowadays, I usually buy mine in a tub at the supermarket, I have fond memories of the homemade and if I weren't so lazy I would probably make it. The favorite things that I love to do it is simple different cheeses from around the world. Interesting Lee enough I both most of them and they are so very different and yet there are so many qualities that are the same.

I just love that pork fat is now diet food, after all these years of avoiding it! Go figure!

The cured sausage is something that I am glad that they moved away from the Oregon casings because of all the different problems they have had with cancer and organ meat. True or false you just never know. Better safe than sorry. On the upside I love their sausage! And I have been looking and looking for a recipe or even a pre- packaged waffle mix. Going to Lithuania on the weekends isn't always convenient from the Washington DC area. Just saying.

I actually tasted Mead for the very first time last year and the entire family found it delicious. It was homemade and I couldn't believe that it was alcoholic and made of water and honey. Who knew? I have one bottle left and I won't be able to get any more until September so it's highly coveted, so now I thank you for getting me the sellers website. The little meat pies I am familiar with because I think everywhere I go somebody has some sort of meat pie and or vegetable and they are delicious and you can grab them in your hand and take them to go. I want to thank you so much for pointing out that fermenting and pickling are two different things and so many people here mix them up. Fermenting is definitely the way to go both nutritiously and diet.

I want to thank you very much for taking the time to post to Market Friday and I'm very much enjoyed everything that was written and the way that you presented your article.

Hi @dswigle ! Thank you so much for reading my post and for your thoughtful comments as well as upvote and steeming!

We were saying with @erikah that so much of authentic food is actually so similar across different countries and continents. I find it really interesting that your French mom used to make her own cheese the same way we in Lithuania used to do (and some people still do).

I totally agree about cured sausages, it's really not the healthiest food on offer, although if you can make it at home, then it's a different matter :D My granny used to make epic dry cured sausages, I was thinking just the other day, I must ask for the recipe from my aunt. I bet I could dry cure it in one of those electric ovens. Let's see :)

Thanks for stopping by, lovely to meet you @dswigle !
