We walked up a hill for the views
That's the hill and former castle from where I took the photo above

For lunch we went to a basement restaurant. The kind of restaurant where the staff are dressed in traditional garments and the deco is traditional, and the food is also mostly traditional. It's a nice place, like being transported back to another age. But then Lithuania was like that not that long ago.
Cold beetroot soup
"Farmer's Feast" is a big meal. We managed to finish half and took the rest back to the lodging for another day.
Zeppelin dumpling, mashed potatoes in a sausage casing. And back there are potato pancakes.
The potatoesausage thing had an intense smell, it came from the sausage casing. The smell also penetrated the potato so the partner ate my half, too. Rendered Speck in a little pail for topping and moistening these specific things.
Sausage and pig's knuckle/hock, both small in size. If you have eaten Schweinehaxe in Germany this one is a mini version of that, the part lower down the leg.
Dinner back at the lodging later... In a big supermarket I was observing locals who came to the smoked fish counter. Many of them bought smoked salmon carcasses. They looked good and I was curious so I had to buy one. Basically, it's a carcass with some meat still attached, and is hot smoked. The tail is folded in the photo.
Pea shoots and broccoli cress bought at the organic market. I also got sunflower and radish cresses. After trying sunflower and pea shoots I now scoff at radish and broccoli cresses.
Bought the black bread at another market. This chunk here weighs 1,3kg (about 2,8lbs).
This is actually vegetarian "trout roe". Looks exactly like the real thing, doesn't taste half bad, either. It's the first time I've come across such a thing so I had to try it.
The smoked salmon has spices and chilli flakes. Buy this if you like to gnaw on bones (I do).
