About apples, they are kind of like a national fruit since they are so popular and are eaten all year round.

[@ruthb7335]

You are doing vlog about Lithuanian food but the first think was so not Lithuanian😂😂😂😂 Do your resources. O Just ask some Litguanian to show you😮

[@ruthb7335]

Lithuania was and is very special for a lot of reasons

[@ruthb7335]

Even though the black bread is our favourite. Not bagels

[@ruthb7335]

After Halea turgus, you hav not tasted any traditional Lithuanian food😅😅😅😅😅😅 There are so mane of them. You aboslutelly dis bot your research😅😅😅😅

[@arnoldassulnius9849]

Welcome back home

[@dolfinger]

I'm Lithuanian,to me it's nothing special all about it,but food.Food and beer is really good in Lithuania and I would recommend to visit Vilnius in Christmas time,you really will be impressed. Lithuanias are crazy for Christmas,they follow many traditions and they spend A LOOOT of money just for decorating it's towns and Christmas trees. So yeah, everyone is welcome in Lithuania 😊 and I really mean everyone.

[@pro_grapist]

What a great vlog! It can be seen clearly that you have done your homework and actually did some deeper research into the country you're visiting. You mentioned that the Grand Duchy Of Lithuania was once the biggest country in Europe, all other videos about Lithuania I've seen just mentions something about Lithuania uniting with Poland and the united state being the largest in Europe but no one ever digs deep enough to find out that the GDL on it's own was the largest even before the union. And the fact about bagels originating in the GDL was new even to me and I've been living my whole life in Lithuania.

[@tooniemama6959]

Lithuania is absolutely beautiful. I am Lithuanian American and have so many fond childhood memories of the dishes that my Mother would make. It is a beautiful country I would love to visit someday. 🇺🇸 🇱🇹

It's nice to see big balls Lithuania! I will be visiting once Taiwan sort out their covid rules! One of the few European countries who recognize the correct China!

Nice, you’ll love it! 🇱🇹

[@donmaarko]

@@KeepGoingPlaces My old man went there for a training camp in the army, said he loved it.

[@DS.J]

Just to correct you Lithuania does not 'recognize' Taiwan and officially abides by One China policy. Current events reflect more of the current government short-term agenda rather than any long term strategy of Lithuania.

[@dzitiatri]

@@DS.J Exactly. There is always a man who loves USA propaganda when they invade other countries by stealing their resources or making them controllable. Although thanks to the author for the positive view!

[@DS.J]

@@dzitiatri Not sure what you mean by that and what does USA have to do with that. I'm talking about Lithuanian politics only.

I usually eat at least 2 cepelinai lol glad you enjoyed your stay in Lithuania.

[@KeepGoingPlaces]

On an empty stomach, maybe we could too! They’re huge and so delicious 😋 loved our visit to Lithuania 🇱🇹

[@henrietab2659]

Quick note on the "sveika" at the very beginning, we have a few different versions of the same word that are used when referring to different people, "sveika" is used when you say hi to one female person, "sveikas" when referring to one male person, "sveikos" when referring to a group of female people and "sveiki" when referring to a group of male people or as a gender neutral way of saying hi to everyone. So definitely would recommend saying "sveiki" in the beginning of videos. (Which you might already know about considering this is an old video, but l figured it may be interesting for other people to hear too)

[@GPosner8]

Thank you so much for this video. Lithuania, Estonia and Latvia are on my list to visit. You two are simply wonderful 👏🏻👏🏻👍

[@bethengelhart9039]

same!

[@explorinwithlaurin]

Never would have guessed that bagels are from Lithuania 🇱🇹 🥯 my great grandparents are from Lithuania but I’ve never been-living vicariously through you both until we can get there for ourselves!

[@KeepGoingPlaces]

Us either! Glad we could give you a sneak peek to hold you over. You’ll love it there! 🇱🇹

[@TalentedMrRipley]

Bagels are not originally Lithuanian creation - its Jewish. However, it was large population of Jewish people before WW2, thats why someone might think that bagels originally came from Lithuania. The same is with Poland. They are sometimes even called “Polish Jewish bagels”.

[@times4937]

Lithuanian Jews, descendants of Polish Jews, began to settle in Lithuania when both countries began the process of integration which eventually led to the establishment of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth.

[@ambulance-tanger]

Thank you, I enjoyed it very much. Yes, Lithuania is a beautiful country with generous people. I love you from the Kingdom of Morocco❤

[@kristinailiukovic9525]

Most likely (judging by the colour) the thing at 8:00 is apple cheese. Traditional lithuanian dish.

[@Jawhar3xxx]

Hi ❤

[@fretas8386]

Hi, Thank you so much for visiting my home lithuania, i really agree when you said that lithuania is very underated, becouse our history and culture is really interesting. Also its cool that you ate cepelinai, and also we here eat not only one but sometimes even three or four cepelinus. Thank you for the video it was amazing!

[@tausau]

Honestly guys, I’d come to Vilnius first of all because of the food. We have sooo many awesome restaurants to visit over here 🤤

[@KeepGoingPlaces]

The food is great there! 🇱🇹

[@chezruss]

anywhere you'd suggest to stay Vilnius - maybe 40 euros a night if possible? thanks

[@LigtningAdombeYT3580]

Hi. Labas

[@YsoSer1ous]

@@chezruss Not sure if you’d find a decent hotel for this price, rather a hostel. Though you could rent Airbnb for 40-50€ in Old town and have most places to visit at a walking distance.

[@ichneu5713]

The jelly candies in Lithuania are different from the Turkish ones in that they are a lot lighter in taste, contain more sour substance and do not stick to your teeth. I also love Lithuanian marshmallows. Just try them to see the difference from the American ones. No barbecue with Lithuanian marshmallows. 😘 🔆 We are at the beach right now, bathing in a quiet sea, temperatures around 28 degrees Centigrade and a fabulous night life!

[@davidellis5141]

I really miss all the bagel 🥯 places that were so trendy in the late 90's so Lithuania 🇱🇹 is definitely for me ! Awesome to see a city strive & apparently succeed to truly be a community. It's on my list .. 👋

Fellow KZbin here :) I'm nomading around Europe and want to travel to less-touristy countries. How do you go about discovering/planning your trips? I would never have thought of or known about somewhere like Vilnius which seems like a great place with good food, people and a nice old-town vibe.

[@KeepGoingPlaces]

Hi, well, we’ve already visited almost all of Western Europe, Central Europe, Scandinavia and the Mediterranean Europe. So, we just picked Eastern Europe for this big travel series. From there, each country’s tourism board website lists a ton of great things to do!

[@tihk89]

Hey! I work as a border guard and my strong advice is not to have a souvenir stamps on your passport. They can really get you in trouble at some borders and you might get denied to enter some countries. Also visa applications can be refused if there are souvenir stamps on the passport. Passports are considered invalid if they have markings which are not official stamps from the borders. I hope this tip helps with your future travels!

[@KeepGoingPlaces]

Thank you so much for this! Very helpful. That stamp is definitely not worth the hassle 🙃

Thanks for the video! It's a pity you had only one day in Vilnius. It's too big for one day visit. But I am really surprised you visited Užupis' cat. This is my fave there. But probably you've missed a metal pig near Užupis' Angel. It's also worth th to see. Užupis for me is artistically crazy place and I love it. Maybe most 'spicy' place worth to visit (including Old Town, for sure).

Those bagels looked freakin' delicious.. It's shockingly difficult to find good bagels in a lot of European cities. I lived in Budapest for two years, which has a large Jewish population, and they barely existed. I already had Vilnius on the list, but now I'm even more excited to visit! And that dessert you tried looked a lot like Turkish delight. 🤔

Hi Texans greetings from Oklahoma and one of your newest Bulgarian Subscribers. It was such a nice and refreshing thing to see y'all's videos about our beautiful country. Like Lithuania Bulgaria has also been one of the largest countries in Europe the 4th largest at all times actually, Plovdiv where I am from is the oldest still active city in Europe, and the Cyrillic was given to the world by Us yes thats right not Russia.... The bacteria for Yogurt making grows naturally inly in our country and many big countries buy it fresh to make yogurt these days - lactobacillus bulgaricus it is! As well as several other strains that you will get to see a lot. Why I am commenting this here is because I watched the cinnamon rolls that you all had in this video and that made me think of a very old amish town in Kansas called yoder! When you are back please have that place in mind there is nothing like it :) thank you for the tour of Lithuania sending smiles from super super hot OKC 😊😊😊

[@KeepGoingPlaces]

Thank you so much for reaching out and sharing! Glad you’re enjoying our videos 🤗 We’ll have to make it back to Plovdiv one day. We heard about the Bulgarian yogurt bacteria - amazing! And noted on those cinnamon rolls in Kansas!

@@KeepGoingPlaces you are so very welcome, there are so many hidden gems one can find in parts of Europe that are not as obvious indeed :) Please do, that place in KS is amazing! Also not sure of you have visited Kanyon, TX which I am suspecting you have but if not you must go, they have a great coffee house downtown, and one of the best vegan lates - the aztec :) I am one of the first diy vloggers in Bulgaria so just wanted to reach out as a fellow friend :) sending a smile it sure is hot in Oklahoma 🥵🌸.

nice video! Glad you liked Lithuania. But regarding the food in the video, nothing seems to be traditional Lithuanian or commonly consumed in Lithuania. Cepelinai is common, but it's usually ordered with meat filling. I hope you guys are vegetarians, because otherwise its a sin to eat Cepelinai with cottage cheese :D you should really have tried pink soup either being vegetarian or not. Green sweet is Turkish and bagel is Polish. Not sure about cinnamon bun relation to Lithuania, but it looked really good :) backstage coffee - really good choice! The most traditionally and commonly consumed thing in the video was pickled cucumbers i think ;D
