Edited by Timbuktu, Maria Quinney, Charmed, Mian Sheilette Ong and 8 others
Lithuania shares common cuisine with its neighbors; Poland and Ukraine. Its foods are similar to Scandinavian and Hungarian as well. Since the country is usually cool and moist, many of the dishes include its largely grown products, such as potatoes, rye, barley, and mushrooms. With dairy products being another category of its specialties, potato pudding, potato sausages, and Poland's version of dumplings and doughnuts are some of the popular dishes in Lithuania. Bread, being the staple of this country's cuisine, is usually eaten, spread with butter or cheese.
The potato is the vegetable most commonly used in Lithuanian dishes, because of its abundance. Be it baked, sauteed or boiled, it is usually garnished with Lithuanian's favorite herbs and spices. The most frequently used meats in Lithuania are pork , beef, lamb, poultry, and even rabbit and goose meats! Oven roasted meat seems to be their favorite when it comes to gatherings or parties. Also, preserved meat, such as smoked, dried and brined, play a big role in their cuisine as well. Lithuanians can cook gourmet dishes just by using the simplest ingredients.
