Unfortunately this pie definately was not the one from your host's advice. I am sure he or she meant speķa pīrāgi, that are small pies and filled with cut meat instead of minced meat. The difference is essential.

Any tips on how you learned how to use the public transportation in Latvia so quickly? I live in rural Ohio, no public transportation so I always feel a bit overwhelmed by buying a 24 hr pass for transportation in Europe. Loved your tour. Thanks for sharing! Sounds like your host was very nice & helpful.

@SOSASATSUNRISE Жыл бұрын

Google maps! There is a public transport option for directions that works well in the majority of Europe. If Google maps does not work well in a particular country, there is most likely another app that does. Large metro stations also have information desks that are very helpful. Thank you for watching! 😀

traditional piragi are small oval or crescent shaped buns, filled with chopped bacon and onions. Not sure why that vendor calls their big meat pies "piragi".

@mafioziks 8 ай бұрын

"Pīrāgs" means pie. The ones you mention - the traditional ones are often also referred as "speķa pīrādziņi" which means beacon pies but word pies in deminutive and plurar form as they are smaller and usually bought multiple. Usually people really understand by using both versions that talk is about traditional ones as they are so popular and as other kind of pies often is referred with more specific names.

@marutakelers1856 8 ай бұрын

@@mafioziks Pirags doesn't mean pie. that's rausis. Ragi means horns. Piragi are specific crescent shaped buns.

@mafioziks 8 ай бұрын

@@marutakelers1856 Not always. Try to google pictures of ābolu pīrāgs. It will show you pictures of apple pie that looks quite similar to pies I have seen in American movies. Just for safety I rechecked definition and it basically says that pīrāgs is bread type food with filling. Usually crescent or oval form. Also I have experienced time to time people referring apply pie type deserts to be referred as pīrāgs. Rausis nowadays is used quite rarely from my experience. By definition it is food with a pit for placing content. So it is quite similar if you look on definitions. I guess that you can say that both Latvian words relates to English word pie in situations.

Not Lee dough and not lie dough either. The i is always i like in whip, and the o is always something like uo/oo ah. Unless it's a foreign word with just a normal o like old. And then you can choose the meaning. The verb to fly in the third person or a beach in Italy.
