Thanks Miguel! Glad you enjoyed the content of the vlog. Riga was such a captivating city to explore 👏
Thank you Fonsi for exploring my country's cuisine, I love seeing foreigners do that ❤ I know our food it's not for everyone, and yes, it indeed is intended to make you warm and prepared for the harsh and cold weather that we often have here in Latvia. Also our food is mostly comfort food as well, that's the way that I would describe it in a nutshell.
Looks like a fun place, thanks for posting. You are making my bucket list longer.

I have to give them another chance next time I visit Latvia or Poland! Apple sauce sounds like a perfect accompaniment. The rest of the food was incredible👏
You must visit not Riga, but real Latvia far away from capital. In Riga prices are crazy and comfort level is not so high.
I just checked the menu of Province - it's quite expensive! 12euro for one portion of Pelmeņi?! There was one restaurant where you could similar or even bigger portion for 5eur! But unfortunately they closed some time ago... Also potatoe pancakes for 9 euro are super expensive for regular Latvian. But I'm very glad you enjoyed Latvian food!
Wow Can't wait !

I was pleasantly surprised about the food when i visited Latvia. Really delicous hearty food! I tried a dish in Jūrmala in a small wooden house/restaurant. I don't remember the name of the dish but i was a ceramic pot with lamb, potatoes, vegetables and different spices in it. Maybe also cheese? Is there anyone knowing the name of it? It was served with black bread.

It sounds like you ate one of the stew's that we usually serve in a clay pot here in Latvia - that way it tastes the best.

Those dumplings can be served with sour cream for a milder taste than oil.

You actually pronounced the dumplings (pelmeņi) correctly the second time you said it, but corrected it in the video as pelemi afterwards.😁

Yes, I was told it's not something that's specific to the area but more of an influence from the Polish / Russian.
