Answer 2

Yes, cepelinai is probably the most famous national dish in Lithuania.  However, they are mostly made for special occasions - birthdays, holidays, etc.

Even though, we mostly eat meat (three times a day:), we also eat some fish. The delicacy is smoked eel, marinated herring. Over all, we eat a lot of smoked stuff - sausages, ham, bacon, fish, etc. Lots of potatoes, bread.  We also love mushrooms, sauerkraut, pickles.

We also eat all kind of soups (usually for lunch). 'Å altibarščiai' (cold borsch) is probably the most unique Lithuanian dish - cold soup made out of buttermilk and beets.  It's primarily eaten in summer with some hot boiled potatoes.

We also love pancakes - both the regular ones and potato.

In general, Lithuanian dishes aren't spicy.

Check out the link to the menu of a very nice Lithuanian restaurant in Chicago:

Their menu has some American dishes as well but you should easily tell traditional Lithuanian dishes apart.

I hope this helps. If you need some more specific information, email me.

Answer 4

The national food of Lithuania:  Cepelinai Cepelinai (singular - cepelinas) or Didžkukuliai are a Lithuanian national dish. They are a type of dumpling made from grated potatoes and usually containing ground meat, although sometimes dry cottage cheese (curd) is used instead.

So named because their shape resembles that of a Zeppelin airship, cepelinai are typically around 10–20 cm long, although the size depends on where they are made: in the western counties of Lithuania cepelinai are made bigger than in the east.

After boiling, the cepelinai are served with sour cream sauce or pork rind pieces (crackling
