For context, we live in Poland (me a bit more to the center, my aunt up ~120 km from R*ssian border), my aunt works as a regional library headmaster, so she tends to travel from time to time.

  1. The packaging looks nice but some of the most plain soft biscuits I ever tried.

  2. I saw some youtube where people taste things from aboad, let their friends taste them and compile the reactions. The comments about “Gaidelis” where typically: “Hmm. Tastes like nothing. Should go well with milk!” Which is in essence correct. I’ll add that these are specifically Lithuanian. These are post-soviet. Most parts of the Soviet Union had bland cookies like that. Different designs, same taste. https://hylandaclock.com/pechene-sssr/

  3. Gaidelis da best.
    I grow up with it. And now i feed this to my children.
    We used to eat it with butter!
    Just put some butter on it and then another gaidelis cookie on top.
    Make it like oreo experience !

  4. I often have the full grain ones with carots and coconut with my coffee.

  5. Blah. Very bland. Gaidelis getting rebranded. There are a lot of new different flavours and products. Candies, for example (didn’t like it) or crackers (not bad at all).

  6. One of the best cookies (without anything in it) in Lithuania

  7. Do not buy these, they contain huge amount of palm oil which in time clogs arteries which leads to heart attack

  8. Classic biscuits, likely a sentimental thing for your aunt. But they are nice, I don’t buy them often but when I do I usually eat the whole pack. Skanaus!

  9. There are A LOT of other cookies I would choose to spend my Euros on instead of these. Sorry, every bite brings back bad memories of growing up under occupation. Same for plombyras in soggy waffles—no thanks. I am trying to forget those atrocious times, not remind myself of them.

  10. I like them with a bit of butter. They go down very well with a cup of tea

  11. I like coconut and chocolate ones or better yet, i love making tinginys out of those, cookies on steroids 💪
