Lithuanian Garden

LithuaniaBq124- Original Print       This is a bouquet of herbs Lithuanians use most frequently in their cooking--Bay, Caraway, Cinnamon, Dill, Garlic, Parsley, Poppy and Vanilla--and which are essential in defining their cuisine. Unleavened Buckwheat Bread, Skaba Putra (Sour Milk and Barley Soup) always served with Sour Cream and Herring, and Avizine Kose (Oatmeal Porridge) traditionally served on Christmas Eve with Poppy Seed Milk are culinary treats typical of Lithuania.

      Top these off with Lekah (melt-in-the-mouth Honey Cake), and a glass of the national drink Krupnikas, and you have surely feasted Lithuanian-style. The typical herb garden would also contain Cardamom, Celery, Cloves, Ginger, Horseradish, Juniper, Leeks, Marjoram, Mustard, Nutmeg, Onion, Pepper, Scallions and Thyme.

      After successfully repulsing Viking, Slavic and Mongol threats, Lithuania emerged as an independent state in the middle of the 13th century. From 1386, when the Lithuanian Prince Jagiello became the King of Poland, until the end of the 18th century, the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth extended its influence from the Baltic to the Black Sea.

      Afterwards came long periods of domination by Danes, Swedes, Prussians and Russians, ending with the fall of the Communist empire. Added to this was the influence of Jews fleeing oppression elsewhere, bringing their customs and contributions to the table. All of these left their culinary mark on this still free-spirited Baltic country and the Lithuanians preserved their ancient languages and cultures right up to the present time.
