Must try "maizes zupa", which is a bread dessert or "maizes kartojums". That's very Latvian. Otherwise, food is very similar to German cuisine as well as influenced by the USSR.
Try cheese with caraway seeds, again, very Latvian.
Black balsams - traditional herbal drink. I prefer one with currents and they sell those in tiny bottles, so it makes it easy to try.
Try a drink called "Kvass". It is non-alcoholic. You might like it.
Pork dishes are very popular and according to my meat-eater friends, taste amazing.
I read about Black balsams, sounds like it can heal everything 😁. I just saw it in Rimi, they will make good gifts to take home. Simon loves his meat, so he'll be sure to try out the pork dishes. Kvass sounds interesting will look out for it, and for maizes zupa... It sounds intriguing, if I manage to try it, will definitely let you know what I think 😉
This bread I like very much.
This drink.
And this one too.
Sweets Serenade are very special.
And I love speķa pīrādziņi.
You can find it all in Rimi at the train station.
Thanks Dawid. There's a Rimi hyper by the station, will be stocking up before I leave !
