when people eat pigs ear usually it is smoked ear that has entirely different consistence and taste, and is not served in whole pieces. Personally I dislike it, of course I must yet to try to smoke some at home, as everything you find in shops is shit in comparison to what can you find already made in shops... Foreigners get wrong idea by buying foods in shops because non of that tastes as it should- smoked bacon, or any kind of smoked meat, cepelinai, gira, koldūnai, kepta duona, rūkyta žuvis.... non of that tastes as it should when it is bought in shops but foreigners might get wrong idea because that is what they are used of doing- buying everything they eat in shops.

That's true :D

@@joons3374 I like the taste of smoked pigs ear, but the hairs put me off. When I find some ear hair I start thinking the spices are like ear wax or something, lol.

@Wolfie-Potato UwU im lithuanian to💛💚❤

pig ears and mustard is best pub food

Same

Same I don't really like those xd

Omg I never eat pigs ears or legs that is GROSS or meat jelly or vėdarai. NoNo NO !!!! 🤢

@@sigitaventyte4684 it's actually seems disgusting but it's delicius

@@kontukii I am vegetarian. So for you maybe it is

true dat

Okay that's good to know because it was definitely an intense dish to try!! Everything else was wonderful :)

Yeah, not many eats pig ears. The smoked ones are actually very good with beer though :D

@@JackandGabExplore That wasn't even that intense, since dishes like that are popular in some Asian countries. The most intense Lithuanian dish would be Juka, or a soup made out of animal blood.

I don't really like the cabbage rolls :(

@@rds7516 Juka is amazing. My grandmother used to cook it. Miss it very much since no one is slaughtering pigs any more and no one is cooking juka.

It's made in a pigs intestine just like sausages thats why the name I've heard it be called actually translates to 'potato sausage'

OG sausages are made in a pig intestine casings too. Which are literally guts.

that heccin STINK

Some times meat stuff in pigs stomach or blader to make large sausage colled "skilandis"

@@3mx357 ik

The recipe is very very different though

Ur laughing at my countrie

You want to visit me one day? I am half ukrainian and half lithuanian currently living in Germany. I can cook you most of Lithuanian cuisine. And then we walk arount city and nabuhayemsya.

Super tasty! (minus the pig's ear 😂)

@@JackandGabExplore 😂

Jack and Gab Explore im from Lithuania

Im lithuanian!😁😁

And It tasted great but I don't like pigs ear

I just visited Lithuania and had it as a beer snack

hmmm, as we say - s*it out, potatoes in.. Now live with that;) sorry..

I always called "kugelis" a potato pudding, because that is more or less what it is.

All normal sausages and puding casings made from "guts-natural casing", I'm not talking about "Doktorska' sausage what you only eat...

@@allanbirmantas1695 me to its tasty

Yay we're so glad you liked it! We had so much fun trying Lithuanian food and we really loved Vilnius and Lithuania :)

That ear looked pretty big. How can you eat it all at once?

@@adamhendrickson512 just cut off bits. When i said not to dissect i meant peel the skin and what not.

It definitely does look a little like Pepto Bismol! 😂

Wow! We are glad that it's 2019 :)

Ahhh we're so flattered that you're starting your day with us! have an awesome day :)

It was super yummy!! (except for the pig's ear ) haha

That's awesome! Yeah the food in Lithuania is really tasty (other than the pig's ear).

LABAS RYTAS ,I was just in Lithuania,I met really great people and they introduced me to their traditional and food specialities, Having learned about their culture and visit some historical places. I only have a warm heart towards them. Aciu uz silta priemima

Me too, i love pig's ear.. in some asian countries that is considered a delicious treat.

i think you made their day worse :DDDD and that trasnlate made me laught so much :D

@@MsLoveSongs1 thank you for acknowledging my effort. :)

Thanks so much!! We're so glad that you enjoyed the video :)

LABAS RYTAS ,I was just in Lithuania,I met really great people and they introduced me to their traditional and food specialities, Aciu uz silta priemima

Hahaha anytime :)

Vilnius beautiful city ,especially the old part

That's exactly what we were thinking when we ordered it! We thought it would be in smaller pieces and maybe fried or something. It was surprising to us!

@@JackandGabExplore Yeah, and i think the pig ear strips are supposed to be smoked, that makes them not as fatty, and a bit crispy, a great beer snack. You should try fried bread with cheese and garlic as a beer snack, i think you might like it :)

LABAS RYTAS ,I was just in Lithuania,I met really great people and they introduced me to their traditional and food specialities, Having learned about their culture and visit some historical places. I only have a warm heart towards them. I do had it as a snack that was giving with beer Aciu uz silta priemima

I think we need to try it in pieces first! That might be a better way to ease ourselves into it :)

Well one of our dukes brought crimean tatars to Lithuania and along with them came Kibinai ;)

Where is the karaim now? Exactly

@@fys1cal428 And why does that matter exactly?

Because they don’t exist anymore so now its Lithuanian

@@fys1cal428 Haha Crimean tatars don't exist anymore? Okay man... haha

Lithuania is incredible!! We can see why so many people love it :)

The best point is that we have same "very local dish" :) 'cause Lithuanian and Romanian cabbage rolls both originate from Ottoman empire.

@@zilvinasvanagickas9899 yes but over the years we all ( greeks, bulgarians, polish, etc) made it our own. :) and that's great

Ooooh that sounds super yummy! :)

hahaha yeah it definitely wasn't our favorite! Everything else was pretty good though and we had an awesome time eating our way through Vilnius

Sounds we have a Vegan there...

@@tomasbuinitskis3602 haha nope

Pabandyk. Šiaip būna ir parduotuvėse jau paruoštos ir šaltos (kaip užkanda). Valgius ir šiltą svečiuose kai kepė ant laužo ir buvo skanu. Gal ten tik tam restorane neskanu..

Hahaha yeah we definitely made a mistake on that one. But we ate the potatoes separately and they were wonderful!

No need, but it's really tastier

If you are Lithuanian (I don't know/meet any other), i just want to ask why a lot of you have names that sound greek?. Lithuanians have a greek background?.

@@mrspotato20 well your kind of incorrect. A lot of our words are mostly from Russia or like the origin is. Our background is mostly with Russia taking over us and being friends with Lenkija... BUT don't count me on that I'm still a verry young teenager (12 years old) I know I didn't help you much but I hope you have a amaizing day.

We're so glad you enjoy the videos!! :)

It's so interesting how a lot of Lithuanians do eat pig's ear and a lot don't! We picked a controversial food I guess :)

@@JackandGabExplore You know it's like English black pudding, everyone knows, but no one tasted :) BTW, we have local version of black pudding here in Lithuania - kraujiniai vėdarai. I don't know how it was in very old times, but now pig's ear actually is kind of snack to be eaten with beer (lot of beer). If you are not beer-man, usually you choose another dish.

Hahaha yeah it wasn't our favorite! Apparently we need to try it smoked and have a beer on the side and then we'll like it :)

Actually those traditional dishes who consists or relates with curd, like ,,virtiniai su varške" ar ,,varškėtukai'' - I felt cultural shock when saw that are so much recipes of varškėtukai with sugar or that other people making it sweet, with sugar. In my whole life my family never made sweet curd dishes, and I see that maybe it depends on region :D

Ewwww

Tai cia taip kad jie suprastu raides

Are you volunteering 😂

yas

Usually saltibarsciai are weird till first spoon :) All my foreign friends are really mad about saltibarsciai :)

Good for you! You have a stronger stomach than we do!
