Not a dish, bur I’d recommend _sūrelis_ for your breakfast. It’s a cottage cheese dessert, it’s glazed in chocolate/cacao and usually vanilla-flavored.
What you really need to try is Lithuanian kebab, I’d recommend stopping in Kaunas and going to Todžė, I personally like it the most
Kugelis also known as Bulvių Plokštainis. Also may want to try Kastinys.
Šaltibarščiai, it’ll be amazing during these hot days
I suggest you can sample Lithuanian dishes in Lithuanian local cafes. But the most important thing is to befriend somebody or somebodies that have a mama and grandma, and go there, and let them cook for you. All the dishes that locals here suggest might be totally new for you, but a mama and grandma will set you straight. The most important thing is that anything you miss from England you can recreate, but you have to do it from scratch, and then you will discover how these dishes were done 100 years ago.
Šturmų Švyturys
cold borsch, pelmeni, kvass and maybe some cooked bread
Lithuanian mem
Shaltibarsciai!
No idea, but when you travel across Amsterdam….bring some of that bread, looks tasty.
In my experience, people are mostly amazed by šaltibarščiai and kepta duona, so definitely try those two.
Go to the North West of lithuania in a town called skuodas, look for the čeburėkai stall, and you will have the best damn čevurėkai one could ever desire.

Žemaičiu blynai (žemaičiu pancakes)
Balandėliai, for sure!
Try kibinas in Trakai (medieval city near Vilnius). My favorite is with mushrooms, ham and cheese + chicken soup combo.
Varškėčiai !
And kepta duona
I think you’ve had enough potatoes for a tasting. Try crepes with cottage cheese for a change (though not every place makes them equally well)
Koldūnai for sure. They’re basically just dumplings (usually either mushroom or pork) but the sour cream and bacon/onion bits to at they’re typically topped with are *chefs kiss*. There’s also a dessert variety with cherries
Also, not totally lithuanian but very traditional is a shashlik. Definitely try it if haven’t already.
can someone tell me what these dishes are called? all of them look fantastic!!!
Since when do we consider vaping a Lithuanian national dish?
All of that looks so good
Cepelinai
Go to the nearest maxima and get the rectangular pizza slice with vegetables, childhood fave
Yummy, seeing this I want to visit Lithuania one day!
You have to pick up some local smoked fish from a deli or even better a fisherman

Šaltibarščiai, tinginys.
Cepelinai
Kibinas, no doubt
[Tinginys](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tinginys). That’s a Lithuanian variant of chocolate salami

Mushroom soup
Kepta duona with cheese-garlic sauce!!

Balandeliai, šaltibarščiai, namine gira, skruzdėlynas.
Wow! Thank you everyone. Ačiū. I’m very excited!
IN KLAIPĖDA, go to restaurant called Klaipėdos Senamiestis (located in oldtown) and order cheese fingers. Also can order through WOLT. This is how they look like: https://wolt.com/en/ltu/vilnius/restaurant/klaipdos-senamiestis/senamiescio-pirsteliai-itemid-5eccde62c27f58e07dd6709b
I can’t believe that nobody mentioned VEDARAI !!
Wait what’s that second thing? Crispier than what I’m used to from our cuisine
