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.

I do not think any food is strictly one country invention... They are made by people, who later other people adopt from then and so on. Humanity is great at cookin thats the truth. I enjoy all types of cabbage rolls from all Europeans.

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.

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

I tried some Lithuanian food and I love 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

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!

@@FireCandy_Lt I would say "cold beetroot soup" is more accurate and more popular. First, because it's self-explanatory and second, because "borscht" is just russian word which literally means "beetroot soup". So why use russian? I understand if you use "šaltibarščiai" and then translate it but russian word doesn't make any sense to me (?).

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.
