British people trying Latvian Candy - In The Kitchen With Kate 

Latvian beer Is one of the best in the world... And yeah the garlic bread (especially fresh) and beer go together great..

Latvians?? 👀🇱🇻

I am Latvian. And yes, Skrīveru GOTIŅA is expensive but they are extremely delicious!

You should try Latvian kitchen not only snacks - its more interesting - like pink cold soup etc.

Hey! Such a nice video, guys! I wanted to give a little info about the sweets that you had. So, the Gotiņa candy (means cow but diminutive) - Alex had with hazelnuts. Next, the crunchy garlic bread is rye bread baked in oil and then covered in garlic. "Tagad" (means "now" it's just the name) was puffed rice balls in milk chocolate. Next you had the little candies - Lācītis ķepainītis (hard to translate, but basically bear (also diminutive)) is waffel candy with almond taste. Next Diana - black currant and apple jelly candy covered in chocolate. Next, Talismans, interesting story, they are made exclusively for Latvia's 100th birthday, as it's a very "old" candy, made in 1920's, and they didn't make them for some time, it's chicory pomade (like a cream). Next, Vētrasputns (Thunderbird) a very loved candy, one of the most popular in Latvia, is milk pomade covered in chocolate. Next, Serenāde, also a very popular one, is apricot and nuts in chocolate. Next is Trifele, and it means, well, Truffle (this is one of my favourites), cacao cream, but not really a cream, more like a... soft chocolate candy covered in cacao dust. Next, Zephyr, is a sweet made from apple puree, but it has all kinds of flavours. The soft texture is from apple pectin that is a sort of gelling agent, which gives the meringue/marshmallow feeling. Next, Riga black balsam candies, is just dark chocolate with black balsam and Balsam is a unique Latvian made bitter alcoholic drink with 45% alcohol by vol. Made from 24 different herbs, roots, berries, burnt sugar and all kinds of other interesting things, it has a very extraordinary herbal-like taste. You're supposed to eat the candy whole. About the last box I just wanted to say, that those four names on the box "Kurzeme", "Zemgale", "Latgale" and "Vidzeme" are four historical and cultural Latvian regions, and those dancers are showing the historical national costumes that are associated with each region (although there are many more costumes for almost every historical town,village and area). And the candies in this box definitely don't have alcohol. Thanks for the great video! I'm going to the store for some snacks now!

Im from Latvia!! ~ Es esmu no Latvijas!! Anyone else??

I’m from Lithuania 🇱🇹 it’s near to Latvia 🇱🇻 and all food in this country’s is so good 👍

Hey hey briti nezin kur ir Latvija :D smieklīgi, bet vismaz forš video.

On the Cover of the box of chocolates it is actually our traditional dance costumes for each region of Latvia.

im from latvia as well, cool to see our food on your channel. however strange that since youre so close to latvia you dont know where it is :D:D:D

My mom is Latvian.. and Gotina are my fav forever. I grew up calling them cow candy and when we could get our hands on them (which is not always easy in the States) we were SO excited. Glad you liked them. And the classic is the only one I love too. Laima chocolates are the brand in Latvia... and can be bought in the US at most European or Russian grocery stores. Some of them are really quite good.

Im from Latvia! I’m so excited when someone mensions Latvia in their videos!

Hello from Latvia, as i'm Latvian this was fun to watch it and see what you think of our local food! :) You all are welcome to Latvia! ;)

I think we need a world map with pins or something to show all the places you've received snacks from. No need to stop until you have them all.

Tik mīlīgi kā viņi lasīja Kurzemi,Latgali, Zemgali, Vidzemi....un kaa vini domaaja ka taas ir dejas...so adorable

Kate smelling that soap was so adorable lol

I'm from Latvia and all of those snacks are i could say kinda expensive. PS. You totally should visit Latvia, the Old Riga is one of the most beautiful city"s i know.

*No one:* *Them:* **COMPARES EVERY SNACK TO A BISCUIT**

I AM from Latvia 🇱🇻 And i Love ALL of The foods And i Love u guys💖

Latvia is older then 100 years. That is the time when we got freedom

The thing about the Gotina type of caramel candy is that when they are fresh (as in a few days or weeks), the middle stays really soft and gooey and oozes just like on the package. But the more they sit, the harder they get with time, so I believe yours were affected by travel, time, etc. :) This type of candy is so classic in Poland, too!

Latvia is in the Baltic Region and part of the former Soviet Union. I went to Estonia when in the Military and Met many Latvians there.

Best sweet in Latvia is "Karums"

I love, love "Šorberts" and i was confused when you didn't like it, and the moka thing is made in some kind of wafer cake and it goes amazingly with morning evening or day coffee😊. Oh, and I am so appreciative that you took your time to taste Latvian candy and snacks.(btw I'm from Latvia)

I love the diversity of the locations you try candy from. You and Alex are just the best your channel makes me so happy. Always smiling when I see you’ve uploaded ❤️

I'm from Latvia and im glad that you are trying Latvian products and sweets

I'm from Latvia and I would enjoyed this video if you would have known where is our country. Just do a little research before to know where exactly we are in Europe. It is rare to see someone on this platform to talk about our country, review stuff. If you would have done some research about this, this video would be like a learning process for all the viewers. We are a pretty small country so we go a little bit nuts when someone mentions us. Maybe you could do it with every video, to include some interesting facts about foreign countries? Also, I'm really happy that you liked mostly every candy that we are making. There were great examples of what we are munching here in Baltics. The sender did a good job choosing them! I hope that in future you will visit Latvia and get the taste of our beer with our chips and fresh garlic bread aside. 😊

My step Grandma was from Latvia. The coffee waffer square, caramels, and cranberry biscuits looked delicious.

Kate smelling the soap = hilarious!! What a great assortment!

My name is Helēna Brodere and I’m Latvijan. I am proud of my country, one which unfortunately doesn’t receive a great deal of attention. It’s a pleasant surprise watching your video and I hope that you enjoyed the snacks our beautiful country has to offer.

We're going to Latvia this summer (from USA) and I already promised my sister I'd send her a bag of those Creamy Mushroom potato chips. She loves mushrooms. Thanks! BTW, we stay with my Mother-In-Law in Poland as our "home base" and travel around, often with her, each summer on extended stays. This summer we'll also be going to Greece, Norway and Lithuania.

You must have seriously been dropping geography classes to not know where Latvia is. Both countries in Europe.

That was fun to watch and laugh at incorrect pronunciation :D

when you buy "Gotiņa" candies in mall, they are not like picture, but when you buy at original candystore, there will be like in picture. :)

im from latvia and this whas on my recomended

Hi! i am from Latvia and I enjoyed your video about my homecountry! I wanted to add that the chocolate mint fudge you tried comes also in different flavors if you do not prefere a mint one. For example, rasberry, vanilla, also without chocolate. and they are just awesome! So if you ever have chance try those ones too! Cheers :) Amanda

Kurzeme,Zemgale,Vidzeme,Latgale are 4 historical Latvian Regions, each region has there own folk dance style and costume(which are presented on the last candy box), each has slang or a distinct accent.In our capital city Riga our Statue of Freedom is holding 3 stars(Kurzeme,Vidzeme and Latgale)

Some Latvians here? Like if you are from Latvia or was born there❤🇱🇻

Every time I watch you two I start to crave chocolate!! I almost went to the store tonight to go buy something yummy. But I stayed strong and stayed home!! You have wonderful tasks to do!! Yummy

I’m from Latvia and those bring back so many memories. It’s hard to find good snacks like that in America

I'm from Latvia, you need to try Latvian beers, they are soooo good.

Hello from Latvia! Thank you for trying our snacks! 😄👏

Idk but all latvian snack tasting videos pop up in my suggested videos . I dont mind because im latvian 😅 Čau!

We also have Maltesers in the US. They were officially released in stores here in January of 2017 along with a marketing campaign featuring Casper Lee. One thing to note is that American Maltesers are made in Ontario, Canada.

I've had every single candy which was on the table cuz im from Latvia 🇱🇻

I’m from Latvia and I love watching vidos where someone try something from Latvia...

Big shame for those people, who dont know, where is Latvia...

Hahah i just saw this, my country!! Love it :)))

The names on the lid of the box are regions of Latvia, my Dad was from Latgale. That’s in the far eastern part of Latvia. My Mum was Estonian. I have tried both Latvian and Estonian candy, sent from my cousin in Estonia. Good stuff. Thirty years ago, I had some Latvian chocolate from the time it was part of the Soviet Union....let’s just say not so good. (You were right about Eurovision. Latvia won it the year after Estonia did.)

I am from Latvia🇱🇻 I really liked to wacth you eat our food

Oh wow!!!!! Thanks so much!!!!❤❤❤

Class is canceled because of a snow storm. I'm trapped in my apartment. This is the best way to spend it. You guys always upload when I need it!

Sooo the names on the large chocolate box are actually the names of our countries 4 large states but they also have smaller ones.(they don't have alcohol) Oh and thanks for the video it was amazing.

A map to reference all the places you have tried would be amazing! It would give quite the visual of what a diverse and giant world we live in ❤️

It was so funny to whatch your reactions becouse I'm from Latvia. 😁 love your videos. 💛🧡💜💛

Where is Latvia?! Haha! Priceless!!

Nice video as always. I’d totally forgotten about this country. Nice to get a chance to see foods from other countries. Great job. 👍😊💕

We have the best snacks, beer, and drinks, it's beautifully made.

omgomg i couldn’t believe my eyes when i saw Ādažu crisps in the thumbnail! loveuu!

I love how Alex just thinks about what everything would be like with a beer 😂😂

U shoud try latvian beers, its so much better than any beers in world X))))

The liquid centres of chocolates aren’t liquid when first made and coated in chocolate. They are made with invert or inverse sugar which over a few weeks turns back into a liquid. It’s a process that takes time that’s why liquor chocolates are expensive.

Hey Kate and Alex! I was pleasantly surprised to see a box from Latvia! I love seeing foreign snacks or foods especially from countries I’ve never heard of their cuisine. Those chocolates looked amazing! I see you both really like mushroom chips. I’m not a fan of actual mushrooms but I do like the creamy mushroom soups. I’m going to have to try some mushroom chips one day. I love liquor filled chocolates. I remember my aunt from Croatia sent us ones with cherries inside and I didn’t know it had liquor in it. I almost choked on it cuz I was only a young teenager lol. Thank you for making some amazing videos. Can’t wait for the next one!

i love how you said ''gotiina '' when we say it like itd writen on the package lol...no judgement...... thats actually cool that you are trying food from latvia

I love your videos!!! You guys inspired my kids and I to try British candy and make our own video. Everything looked so good, that we bought a ton of stuff and had to split it into 3 videos. We decided to try candy/snacks from a different country every month. I never would have thought of Latvia!! I was only thinking of the bigger countries, but this video has definitely opened my eyes to the vast options of countries that we can do. Thanks for your awesome videos!!!

Im from Latvia to I was born there and I live in this place called Sigulda and Latvian food is soooo delicious 😋 ♡

A Country on the Baltic sea, once ruled in turn by Russia, Sweden, Poland, and Lithuanian. They declared their independence in 1918

Hi, I'm from Latvia. Loved your video. If you liked those sweets, you can find them in little polish stores.

The last candies weren’t alcoholic and the word they wondered if was alcohol means dark

Thanks Kate and Alex for sharing another awesome fun taste test video its always interesting to see different sweets and treats from a different country 🙂🤗👍

Hi Kate and Alex 😊😊I enjoy watching you guys😁

Another fun video :-) Loved your hair up, Kate. I also loved learning that you were a dance teacher! Alex, you were cracking me up with the garlic breadsticks. Hoping to see WTF return soon! Have a great rest of your day.

U guys looks so optimistic and i can feel harmony between both of you

Love the sound of creamy mushroom crisps nead someone to visit

IVE BEEN WAITING FOR ANOTHER TESTING VIDEO FROM YOU! didn't disappoint x

They're actually selling Maltesers here in the US now, and I must say I definitely like them better than Whoppers. Loved your video! So neat to see foods from other countries.

On the chocolate box. Those are four regions of Latvia. They are called like that form time of last crusades and also present time. And those costumes on the box are costumed for those regions since viking era.

That cheesecake truffle looks so yummy.

I live in Latvia and Im proud for thet!🇱🇻🇱🇻🇱🇻🇱🇻🇱🇻🇱🇻🇱🇻🇱🇻🇱🇻🇱🇻🇱🇻🇱🇻👍😀

mushroom chips? I live in the US and ive never heard of mushroom flavored chips, they sound interesting

Hi! Im from Latvia and the "Maigums" pepermint and chocolate sweet you guys had is like a marshmallow but in Latvia its a little different a little lighter

My favorite British people.😃

Those Gotina aren’t very expensive, the opposite, they are very common, there are a lot of different brands that make them! Im from Latvia 🇱🇻

9:28 Love it!so cute and funny!

My favourite latvian snacks are serbets, serenade and zefirs . I just absolutely love serenade with all my heart, so so good

Hey kids!! You both look great! I really enjoyed that! Lativa sounds yummy!! So interesting! I learn so much from you two!!

Hi im from Latvia and my mum works in thet company

I wanna try those mushroom chips 😋

Gotiņa is is just like what we used to make at home when I was little. Just mix milk and sugar in a metal pot, then boil and stir. When it becomes dense, cool it. That is for this type of soft and brittle sweets. Of course, you add cocoa powder, coffee, raisins, crushed nuts and vanilla, etc. to taste. If you want a toffee, just boil and stir a little longer. Also, we used to have many more factories where these sweets were made when I was little than we do now.

So sorry Kate and Alex where I am living in 🇨🇦 There are high winds storm when it over I'll watch your video Love ❤️

Watching Kate take her small bites when she really doesn't want to try something, vs when it's something she is super excited with. 😂

I feel like I need to find mushroom chips!

Great video! Much love from Latvia!

LOVE THIS ONE 🙌🏼

My mother is from Latvia. It's actually closer to 1,000 years old as a country, but they were occupied by Russia, then the Nazis during WWII, then Russia again until the early 90s. It is a Baltic state next to Lithuana and Estonia, across the Baltic Sea from Sweden.

We Americans dont all sound Country LOL @how you said "Whoppers" ❤

oh my gosh, how cool! We are featuring Latvia in an upcoming subscription box and can't wait to try all of these. Yumm!

100 years it's mean when latvia have been free of Russians

I'm from Latvia too!
