<\/a><\/p>\nTraditionally, the most important item of Lithuanian cuisine is dark rye bread. It is used more often than light wheat bread. The dough is usually based on a sourdough starter, and includes some wheat flour to lighten the finished product. Lithuanians eat a lot of bread every day and respect it very much. We never throw out any piece of bread.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/i>Cepelinai<\/i> or did\u017ekukuliai <\/i>are a Lithuanian national dish. They are a type of dumplings made from grated potatoes and usually stuffed with minced meat, although sometimes dry cottage cheese or mushrooms are used instead. Although foreigners don’t like cepelinai very much, most Lithuanians wouldn’t be able to live without them.<\/p>\n Midus<\/i> is a type of Lithuanian mead, an alcoholic beverage distilled from grain, honey and water. Although Lithuanians’ ancestors were using mead for thousands of years, people drink Lithuanian mead very rarely today. However, anyone who wishes to try something traditional or ancient, should try it.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
