What Is Lithuanian Food? - Cooking in America 

my mom is lithuanian so im glad it’s getting represented but y’all really gotta try sakotis holy moly

For the ones telling that those are not traditional Lithuanian dishes. Cold Borsch was originated in Lithuania. Golubtsi or cabbage rolls are a part of many cuisines, from Balkans to East Asia. Draniki or potato pancakes is also a dish included in almost every European cuisine, even though it is the "national dish" of Belarus. Cooking is a universal language, nothing is original. All the cuisines have similarities. Don't be jerks and enjoy the video.

Many respects for this Lithuanian restaurant. Food brings people together 😊

Man this is awesome I am half lithuanian half ukrainian and proud to be born in Lithuania. And it's so cool to me that someone represents our cuisine. I wish all the best to that restaurant. Prosper brothers and sisters.

Respect, Lithuania. I use to have a great friend from Lithuania, Renata. One of the most beautiful people i had the pleasure to know.

Dated an American-Lithuanian years ago and really loved the background. If EVER in Chicago suburbs, check out Grand Duke's Lithuanian Restaurant. So amazing. Try the Zeppelin and Kugelis if you can.

My Dad was Lithuanian. This brings me back to my childhood. 🥰

Truly humble host and restaurant owner. Love this episode.

Yay Sheldon whose from Big Island, Hawaii covering Lithuanian food! I'm Native Hawaiian born and raised in Hilo but my hubby is part Lithuanian from Illinois 😍. I love this episode, Sheldon is so respectful and a great host!

So hungry now. Miss Latvian and Lithuanian food so much.

All the Lithuanians probably just search up ,,Lithuania" just to see what comes up :D

I tried some Lithuanian food and I love it..

We enjoy the food at Mama Papa Lithuania!.The decor is imported from their country, so you feel like you have time warped there for dinner. And we come here from Seattle to enjoy their home-cooked meals.

i'm lithuanian - and the beet dish we call vinegrettas make it a little differently so its nice to see it the way you make it.

Hell yeah I'm Latvian and this is almost the same food as in latvia, I was never about the cold soups, but I always loved boiled potatoes with goulash and meat patties, they usually have onion garlic and probably parsley salt and pepper, one thing I really loved, also thin pancakes filled with meat

I am half Lithuanian from my dad’s side. Thank you for this video!

Boston has a cool Lithuanian club/restaurant too. We spent St. Patrick’s there! 🇱🇹

Omg! Those food looks unique, simple and delicious. How did I never got this cuisine in my recommendation.

Great video, cheers from Vilnius, Lithuanian capital!

Everything looks YUMMY! and comforting.

Very appetizing food,I look forward tasting the meal when I visit Lithuania

It all looks so good!

Looks great I would love to try it.

Eater is killin' it with these uploads

Wow looks good. Sadly there are no restaurants in my area that have these items so... I’m living vicariously through these videos

I loved this there is always a central focus in the same cuisines, it's refreshing to learn about new ones.

This makes me wana try this, such interesting food

Thank you Eater For uploading this video i am a true Lithuanian and im very happy to see a video about lithuanian food

Great video! I'm from kleipeda to chicago and now Boston and cheers to the owner (we need some restaurants over here)

My country! Nice We make Lithuanian food too!

Loved the video! You should come visit our Lithuanian food truck in Cary, North Carolina! We are the first and only in the U.S. since 2018! Keep up the content and hope to meet you one day! :) - Baltic Bites

Fantastic video!

PLEASE come to Michigan!

Any one from LT?

Great show, great host, great content. They could really stretch these out and run ads, so it's great to see concise quality content.

Looking forward to finding out more about my Lithuanian heritage

great food :) best wishes from Lithuania !

Those cabbage rolls look mighty tasty

such a cool guy! that food looked nice!

This very cute well done chief your a dad great am happy for all 3 of you and your family

During the 14th century, the Grand Duchy of Lithuania was the largest country in Europe, including the lands of present-day Lithuania, Belarus, Ukraine, and parts of Poland and Russia, extending from the Baltic to the Black seas. After the Baltic Picnic in June, a bunch of us would follow with dinner at Mama Papa. I can't believe they didn't make or show "cepelinai" which is Lithuania's national dish! Translates to "zeppelins" and they are similar to the pancake consistency, but potato and rice mixture is stuffed with ground meat, mushrooms, onions, etc. It is topped with a brown gravy or a zesty cheese cream sauce similar to Hollandaise. It's my favorite at this restaurant!

Looks delicious

cold borsch we use in south india as well with rice . its very tasty.

So cool!

Potato pancakes and cabbage rolls yum!

Cooking In America, Dining On A Dime, Halo-Halo are the only reasons Im subscribed in this channel

Cold Borsch is called saltibarsciai with boiled potatoe in lithuania its more like hot summer food :)

This guy seems so nice for some reason.

Damn, now I want to visit Detroit ! Cheers and love from Switzerland :)

I am Lithuanoan and eating that styled food.

Thank you for embracing my culture and food.

I dont like beets but that soup looks amazing

" holy shu shus " why come that made me chuckle so hard lol

I live in Lithuania that pink soup name is šadibaršciai potato cake is bulviniai blinai

Cold Borscht? I think he meant šaltibarščiai...

In Vietnam we have some dishes similar to the cabbage roll

You can see how it's a sort of mixture of nordic and russian/slavic cuisine. Dill is such an amazing herb. For any season!

Kopustai, and beets, and meat pancakes,plus cream,they got lithuanian cuisine on point, expect for making zepelinai

WE NEED YOU IN MICHIGAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Those cabbage rolls look great

I am surprised there is no kugelis!

Me too, half Lithuanian but get so little info on this part of my heritage

cool my Polish grandmother made the same dishes just slightly different

Man those potato pancakes... I'm missing out!

Mmmm... Lithuania food looks like tasty, ow wait, im from Lithuania already to

My grandmother's born in Lithuania

You can find Borsch and other (here not mentioned) dishes in Jewish cousine as well. Common history

These are Samogitian potato pancakes (Samogitia is Northwest part of Lithuania AKA Žemaitija). Regular potato pancakes are without meat. It's a minor error only in name :) Stuffed cabbage rolls is National food in all East Europe and locally called "Pigeons" in every country. Everyone will claim it's their National food :) Cold borscht is most Lithuanian food - it originated Grand Duchy of Lithuania so it's popular in Belarus and Poland. Also use Kefir instead of Yogurt. I know... wtf is Kefir...

I’d like to see Sheldon x The Union Kitchen in MN!

What? Aren't there any Lithuanians in Texas? I can't find one Lithuanian Restaurant anywhere. Food looks yummy!!!!

Please do Finnish, Hungarian, Norwegian, and Scottish food next!

If you have good dumplings, I'm there.

Nice nice :D But where is our cepelinai? Its our the main one food man!!

SUPER

I'm from Lithuania lol🇱🇹

My mom is Lithuanian and Irish 🤗😍

Try cleveland for a Lithuanian club /restaurant!!!! 😊

The best Eastern European food in America is in the Midwest, especially in Cleveland!

From Hayward and Lithuanian Irish and Mexican with children who are more Mexican. We def going here!

Why was there no reaction to this potato pancakes under the pillow story?!! I have so many questions!

Do a Czechoslovakian restaurant!!

where is the kuge?

Very similar dishes to some Russian dishes but it all looks delicious!

Koseliena Saltiena ! And Kugelis of course...

Btw what a beautiful reason this man has go Lithuania xxx

shouldn't you be using kefir for cold borscht?

Hearty veg and ground meat

Koldunai + sour cream /Potatoe pancakes + sour cream

Pas mus "Kaimas" Piterbore the best 👍😊

Hmmmm...

I looked Lithuanian Batonas recipe on search ha ha

I tried making lithanuia food but I failed so I just made scrambled egg

lithuanian food looks simple and nice specially when it is hot but i can't try the ones with pork. other issue, lithuanians dishes are few? can't fill a full book I guess

👍👍👍

We call cabbage rolls "pigeons" lmao

I've never had cold borscht, only hot.

Rice was never used in cabbage rolls. It is a soviet invention, because people rarely could get enough meat from a shop. Pink soup is not made with yoghurt too. Totally different taste.

When i close my eyes all i hear is Cheech doing an interview.
