Lithuanian Food – Cepelinai
If there’s one dish that defines Lithuanian cuisine then it’s the ‘Cepelinai’.
The ultimate Lithuanian ‘comfort food’.
A Cepelinai is basically a potato dumpling filled with meat and floating in a creamy bacon or mushroom sauce. Described aptly by my guide book as ‘artery hardening’ the Cepelinai comes from the rural parts of Lithuania. Taking several hours to make it was perfect for the cold winter days when it was better to be indoors cooking something warm to eat.
Take two daily and consult your heart surgeon if pain starts.

Yep, It sure is Tim
But the strange thing is that Lithuanians don’t like vegemite, I don’t understand that??

[...] I’m proud to be the first person who announces you the first annual German-Lithuanian-Friendship-Day. You ask:”What the hell is that?” Well, i came home after university and found cepelinai in our fridge. Oh, it felt so good when i saw that, it reminded me of Lithuania. So, tomorrow i’ll eat great lithuanian food, drink maybe 1 or 2 degtine and be happy. And next year i’ll celebrate that day again. cepelinai, degtineBookmark this entry:These icons link to social bookmarking sites where readers can share and discover new web pages. [...]

My maternal grandparents are from Lithuania and they used to make something they called
klatskies. I have no idea if I have it spelled correctly, but that’s how is sounds. They are
ham stuffed dumplings that are to die for. I would absolutely love to have the recipe. Do you
know what they are?

I did a google search on Klatskies as I had never heard of them.
It seems to be a Polish dish, and there are some recipes online.

Hello. I’m from Lithuania and I know these “Klatskies” very good. My mother like to say “Klatskies” on national meal Cepelinai(they are made from mashed potatoes with meat inside and cepelinai are boiled).Like in the picture. You can it them with boiled sourcream sauce or any fat sauce. But some people, who are living in south part of Lithuania like to say “Klatskies” on diferent meals(they can be made with meat, ham or something else inside, but all these are inside pastry, the same-boiled).They are etable with the same sauces like cepelinai.”Klatskies” isn’t name of meal, this word is slang.Perhaps this slang is from Poland. Yuo wrote “Klatskies”, but yuo nedd write “Kleckai”. It’s the same like “Klatskies”. So that’s why yuo didn’y find this meal, just in polish:))))))))))))Good luck:)Sorry, I did mistakes. Hope you’ll understand me:)))

Anyone heard of a lithuanian dish that sounds like pe-ta-gy-chu? I have no idea how to spell it properly.
My family has been making this for as long as I can remember. It is a large boiled dumpling that is filled with
salt pork, potatoes, and onions.
I would love to know where they got the name for it – my grandfather insists that is the correct name.
Thanks!

I prefer Kybin’s anyhow.. from Lake Trakai… yum….

Hi! I just wanted to ask if you ever have any trouble with hackers?
My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I ended up losing months of hard
work due to no backup. Do you have any methods to stop
hackers?

Touche. Outstanding arguments. Keep up the great work.
