My parents particularly enjoyed eating Lithuanian food during their trip — and they tried a wide variety of foods from several different restaurants. For Lithuanian food, we ate at Žalias Ratas in Kaunas; Belmontas, Bernelių Užeiga and Savas Kampas in Vilnius; and the restaurant at Rumšiškės. I may have missed a couple of things, but I think that this is a complete list of dishes that they tried.
- Crepe-style pancakes
- Varšės blynai (thick pancakes)
- Žemačių blynai (potato pancakes filled with meat)
- Cepeliniai (pork-filled mashed potato dumpling)
- Kepta duona (fried bread)
- Šaltibarščiai (cold beet soup)
- Mixed vegetable salads made with sour cream or mayonnaise
- Pork tenderloin, pork cutlets, and pork meatballs
- Marinated salads: shredded cabbage, shredded carrots, shredded beets
- Koldunai (dumplings) with mushrooms
- White farmer’s cheese with caraway seeds on bread
- Kibinai (pork-filled pastries) in Trakai
