Of course, Lithuania is underrated. Most Westerners don't know anything about non-Western countries and tend to regard (dismiss) the rest of Europe as "East block countries". Actually, Lithuania is a great country, with a rich and prestigious history and its language is among the oldest in the Indo-European family.
@@JordanandEmily yea and we have some fun facts in our histroy! We like to end things :D Lithuania with our baltic brothers disolved Soviet Union. Our medieval Lithuania-Poland country put an end to the last crusaders order!
@@Perkunas1564 That's right. You were never validly part of it - just "de facto", never "de jure" - and you were instrumental in bringing it down. I remember that Lithuanian nationalism made Gorbachov mad, as he tried at all costs to save a) the "Soyuz" (Union), b) planned economy, c) constitutional leading role of the C. Party. Thank God, he lost on all three counts! With another Lenin now in Moscow, trying to restore the USSR, we need Lithuania to destroy this new tyranny. Kudos for your assistance to Ukraine! Su Naujaisiais metais, Lietuva!
you guys went to lithuania at the most depressing time. In the summer season, it's 100x more vibrant. In the winter time it turns into a ghost town. I am from lithuania so I'd know. No one wants to be in lithuania in the winter, lithuanians included haha. Seems like you still managed to enjoy yourselves, props to you. But next time, be sure to come back in the summer time. It will be a totally different experience with all the street cafes opened and the street music. The whole place comes alive in the summer.
My parents and I found you randomly while watching things on Ukraine and Lithuania, we are Australian but my Grandparents (my parents' parents on both sides) were born in Lithuania so we just love anything Lithuanian! It made me laugh when you said ačiū sounds like a sneeze... totally!! 😄 Fried bread was never a "thing" back when my Grandparents lived there so it's not a recipe they brought over with them unfortunately, I would LOVE to try it someday. But I've had Cepelinai MANY MANY times 😋
It makes us so happy that you found us with you're parents haha we used to watch travel UA-camrs with parents too! That fried bread and Garlic sauce was a game changer and the crunchiest thing ever but honestly, put a plate of Cepelinai in front of us and it's gone in seconds! So amazing!!
It's really easy to make fried bread you could give it a try. My grandma would make it as a snack for me when I was a kid in no more than 15-20 mins. The key is to just get the right eastern/northern dark rye bread. Cut up bread into sticks, sunflower oil and fry until it's crispy, then when it has hard-ish outside and crispy you can rub garlic clove into it. Now for sauces there is tons of variations it up to everyones taste I guess, but the sauce really elevates this snack to another level
Food is quite simple. Comfort food really. "High" society's food was not that much better. More exquisite in some ways. For my taste pallet it does not make a lot of difference if it is simple chicken or neutered rooster 😄 Definitely more expensive 😁
Thank you for sharing --- For Winter time in Lithuania --- A wonderful country 💛💚❤ with kind and helpful people.👍 I visited in this lsummer, 13-15 JUNE 2023 with 3 thai friends from Bangkok. We are all appreciated and like Lithuania, Vilnius is cosy and Trakai is a nice small town along the lake that we walked along to TRAKAI CASTLE.. We have taken good food 👍👌 in Vilnius and my thai freinds love taste of BEER in Lithuania a lot. Best Wihses from STOCKHOLM - SWEDEN 😊🌼🌺🥀🏵🏵🏵🌲🌲🌲
You could have climbed up the Gediminas's hill from the other entrance (the opposite side) I'm quite disapointed that the main entrance didn't have a sign to notify you of that
When I was in Lithuania 15 years ago I had kepta duona for breakfast lunch and dinner, it was so good. After finding the perfect bread for it back home, I started occasionally making it myself as well.
@@JordanandEmily the most difficult part is finding the right rye bread. Other then that it is: Cut the bread into strips, Shortly fry it until crispy, remove any excess fat/oil with a paper towel, and add some garlic, (How you add garlic seems to be different per person, and there is no right way to do it. You can add finely cut pieces of it, rub it on, or add garlic powder. I also add a little bit of garlic to the cheese as well.) For the cheese: Take some grated cheese, Mix the cheese with bit of mayo to help it melt better. Put it in the microwave/oven to melt the cheese. and voila. Again, the most difficult part will be finding the right rye bread, it's not too popular outside of Europe i believe, and every country seems to have their own spin on it. But you are looking for something like this: (Link provided in separate comment because youtube, let me know if you cant see it, or google Lithuanian rye bread)
I guess as Australians summer weathers are not that interesting to you but i still think it looks way better in summer. Our cities have ton of greenerie it gives entirely different vibes from Grey and bleak winter aesthetic (at least to me its like that)
Bread sticks became a thing with first factory produced dark bread. It is today that bread can be kept for weeks. Those days it would go stale in a couple of days, so this became a way to freshen it up. Plus garlic and salt adds to the taste too 😉
@@JordanandEmily It is just my way of doing it, but I fry rye bread sticks on a pan, salt them and rub each with a clove of garlic (I like garlic taste). You can do it many other ways including deep-fried, using garlic salt, etc. Everyone finds what they like in a favorite beer snack 😉.
@@JordanandEmily make sure you use real Easter European/Nordic type of bread for that. Whether black or white, but a heavy Eastern/Northern European thing. French, Spanish, American breads won't do it - the magic is in the texture of the traditional breads people eat here😉👌🙂
In Lithuania we are saying "apči" ("upchee") to describe a sneezing, not "ačiū" ("atshew"), as in Thank You, so here is not one same word for different meanings.
My grandpa and Grandma were born in late 1890's and my grandma was born in 1903 in Lithuania. We lost many relatives during the Russian take overs. But many made it to America, Canada and Australia. The recipes my grandma brought back was "bobka bread" (Cardimon sweet bread), Lithuanian Kielbasa which is more bland than say Polish, borscht soup, and crepes. I would love to go back and see my home ancestors and maybe become a dual citizen as I am 50% Lithuanian and 50% Italian. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for sharing all the information. We are planning to in september to riga, vilinus, tallinn and helsinki. Your videos provides us the perfect itenary 🥳🥳
You've missed the temporary way up hill by like 40 meters (it's kind of behind a bit of the old one) 😅. But the way up and down might be slippery, so a funicular isn't a bad option too
I’m half Lithuanian. So grew up eating this food, but I think it was poor farmers food. My grandparents were poor farmers who legally migrated to the US. The bread was amazing, sauerkraut with Lithuanian sausage or sardines, baked shredded potatoes with bacon and bacon fat, rolls stuffed with ground meat. Super hearty food, and other baked and fried sweets. I wish they were alive today to see these videos and reconnect with their many extended family members. My grandmother tried writing letters but we felt they were probably intercepted by the then regime behind the iron curtain. She spoke of Vilnius.
Old town will be expensive no matter what, you guys want second hand cheep you need to go to "sleeping" districts. Those are also good places to get cheap, but good kebab (recommend "Sinano" personaly).
oh thanks for this! We are already heading back to Lithuania and Northern Europe. We really really need more time so we can go to these sleepy districts!
Always wondered how my city looks to foreigners , and seeing You two made me happy! Hoping to see You too here in summer to get all the good stuff from here heheh!
Have you guys considered doing ASMR videos? The crunchiness of the bagel and breadsticks was amazing 😁 The snow did not disappoint - even the viewpoint under construction looked so pretty blanketed in white
🤣 There is something about our microphone that loves crunchy noises! We've had to turn a few crunches down because we thought people might think we were trying to put fake sounds into our videos 😆
Lots of snow, a little different to what we’re use to. Snow seems to make everything look so pretty. I think you should make those breadsticks & cheese now you’re home, they looked so yummy.xx
The entrance of the Gediminas Tower was on the other side of the Tower :) and next time when you visit Lithuania I really suggest to go to Basketball game, especially in Vilnius, Lithuania is a basketball country, and we are crazy about it :), and best Lithuanian beer is by far- Varniukai tamsus, you should try it next time!
We can't believe we missed the entrance to the tower! We heard Basketball is big in Lithuania and I've played and watched basketball my whole life. We couldn't get to a game this time but when we return we DEFINITELY will... And climb that tower! haha
When Uzupis was founded we had a parade, it was 27 people in the army, I know that because I was the general. Our payment for the duties were paid in salutes (like literally firecrackers and stuff).
Oh you probably missed statue of Užupis angel and the entrance to the castle is temporary on the other side of the mountain. Usually we eat fried bread while drinking beer🍻
When you say "ačiū" (thank you) you have to say the "a" stronger and longer, and the end is actually longer than how you say it, so you are correct, just if you pronounce it right, it sounds differently.
Hey! Just saw your video at random and I love it, certainly. Although Vilnius is supposed to be the representative town as a capital of country, you may see a lot of very western things such as more international people, signs in English... This is becoming normal. I would recommend visiting other towns to see how different can Lithuania be. Just take 3 biggest towns (Vilnius Kaunas Klaipėda) and you will see huge contrast in people and the culture of the country. Sorry to say this but judging the entire country on behalf of international capital is not fair by any means. You can ask many people who do not live in Vilnius and you may find interesting answers to that. I really hope you'll return and you'll get the opportunity to visit more of the country, as it is relatively small.
I agree with every word you said. I did born in Vilnius and it is way different than other cities and areas of Lithuania. Small country with few dialects and cultures in it .
Don't lie! Gingerbread sticks (they may be differnt forms) with a cheese or garlic sauce not a Lithuanian food (snack). It's well known in a whole Eastern Europe. It's very tasty snacks for a beer.
Whoops!! We just read that it's from and most available in Lithuania and assumed it's origin! Do you know where it's from more specifically in Eastern Europe?
in the future, if you want to visit Romania again, try: "Bucovina" before Christmas, December 20 / January 2. there are many traditions and traditional foods that you do not meet during the year. Note that it is snowing and a little cold (some days -20°c), but it is worth living this experience. good luck
I'm thinking that bagels were brought to Lithuania by Jewish migrants, prior to WWII. Obviously, there were not many Jews left in Lithuania after the war, thus bagels disappeared.. However, these days, bagels can be found all over the world, including Asia.
@@JordanandEmily it’s really pathetic that you don’t say why then. Vilnius was called the Jerusalem of the north before the war but 95% of Vilnius’ Jews were sent to their death. I love your videos but it’s very disturbing to hear you whitewashing history when you say you are aware of it.
@@JordanandEmily Maybe it’s tasty for Australians . After we have tried all Lithuanian traditional food for first two days of our holiday in Lithuania we decided to eat in Italian Pizza restaurant and Turkish restaurants for the rest of holiday 😄
I wrote it a million times already and I'll do it millions of times again and again: pea sprouts on cepelinai (potato dumplings) is not traditional and isn't needed at all as it doesn't have any purpose (doesn't make it taste better and doesn't look good either). Restaurants need to stop this pretentious nonsense.

Although Vilnius is supposed to be the representative town as a capital of country, you may see a lot of very western things such as more international people, signs in English...

Sorry to say this but judging the entire country on behalf of international capital is not fair by any means. You can ask many people who do not live in Vilnius and you may find interesting answers to that. I really hope you'll return and you'll get the opportunity to visit more of the country, as it is relatively small.

👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you!
@@JordanandEmily ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Where are you from... Underrated...🧐
we are from Australia!
好看
☺️
why you in Vilnius. come to Kaunas
Kaunas was high on our list but we had such limited time 😫 for sure want to come back and explore more of Lithuania though!
I'm thinking that bagels were brought to Lithuania by Jewish migrants, prior to WWII. Obviously, there were not many Jews left in Lithuania after the war, thus bagels disappeared.. However, these days, bagels can be found all over the world, including Asia.
Good thing we love bagels!! 😄
มันเป็นเรื่องใหญ่ที่พวกคุณจะทำเพียงลำพังไม่ได้
Not sure what you mean 🫠
You think -1 is cold
It got -10 this Christmas in Lithuania
Lmao
Maybe even lower yeah definitely
oh my gosh! Would love to experience that one day but our weak Aussie bodies struggled with -1 🤣🤣
Hope you had a magical Chrissy though ❤️
@@JordanandEmily sure did hope you did too
u walked by my house :D
😄 you must have a great location!
Lithuania:
"I hope you like your meat and potatos"
😄 luckily we loved them. Honestly, most underrated cuisine!
If you want cheap second-hand clothing shops, you have to go to residential neighborhoods! Not old town 🤭
that might have been our mistake 😅
Where is your Aussie accent? 😁
😄 we actually get this a lot! Apparently South Australians accent isn't that strong! 🤔 people always think we're from the UK!
If you need cheap clothes in lithuania. You go to Humana
We tried but they were still somewhat pricey! Must have gotten them on a sale in Riga cause the Humana everything was €2!
Vilnius is a City. Kaunas is A town (Hehehe) Edit: why do people keep calling them potato dumplings they are Zeppelins.
😄 either way, they're delicious!
@@JordanandEmily don't eat too much of them yowl turn in to one of us....one of us....one of us.
"after WWII they were kind of gone" You really don't know why?
Of course we do
@@JordanandEmily it’s really pathetic that you don’t say why then. Vilnius was called the Jerusalem of the north before the war but 95% of Vilnius’ Jews were sent to their death. I love your videos but it’s very disturbing to hear you whitewashing history when you say you are aware of it.
You must be born in Lithuania to like it’s food .
Disagree - we are both born in Australia and LOVED it!
@@JordanandEmily Maybe it’s tasty for Australians . After we have tried all Lithuanian traditional food for first two days of our holiday in Lithuania we decided to eat in Italian Pizza restaurant and Turkish restaurants for the rest of holiday 😄
ye you one of those people that been eating kebab and pizza all your life... try lithuanian khebab next time much better then turkish one...
also come kaunas😂 is better
You can use translator and can get food learning how speak to Lituhian language!?
We could and do!!
Emily is 100 proc copy of Barry Manilow.
🤣 I'll take this
patinka lietuva matau
Loved Lithuania! ❤️
😂
🤣
I wrote it a million times already and I'll do it millions of times again and again: pea sprouts on cepelinai (potato dumplings) is not traditional and isn't needed at all as it doesn't have any purpose (doesn't make it taste better and doesn't look good either). Restaurants need to stop this pretentious nonsense.
agreed! Its one of those things everyone adds but doesn't really do anything 🤣
‼️‼️‼️‼️Its so pathetic of u guys, to use a scam to get more likes on this video‼️ SUCH A SHAME ‼️‼️‼️
🙃
@@JordanandEmily SHAME ‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️
What’s the point of someone buying likes for their videos?
It literally would do no good to your channel
@@JordanandEmily u scam people and make them like your videos so u answer to this question. SCAMMERS ‼️
no more Lithuania country:)
JuliusRou Вильнюс , JuliusRou Особенности жизни в Эстонии , JuliusRou Остров Хийумаа - these are very good doc movies in YouTuube. JuliusRou Вильнюс - have over
600 000 watchers is there.
we loved our time in Lithuania
AGGRESSIVE BELLS
🤣 The best kind of bells at Christmas time. Aggressive Christmas for everyone!
U work with SCAMMERS StarNgage‼️‼️‼️
Who? 😄
@@JordanandEmily probably u. Because u buying likes of your video by using scammers 🤗 what a shame
@@ruttaj.1028 okay I’m kinda glad you’ve commented because we’ve felt like we’re going crazy
Have contacted UA-cam support 3 times about the huge number of likes coming through on our latest videos and they keep saying they can’t see anything on their end
Or that it’s just the processing taking a long time but (without any knowledge of how their backend works) that makes zero sense to us
Did you see it on this video or a different one?!
@@JordanandEmily what? U BUYING LIKES ON YOUR VIDEO! ITS A SHAME AND PATHETIC‼️
@@ruttaj.1028 you sound like a fun guy 🤣
Disgusting, as everything there.
We loved our time in Lithuania 🇱🇹
not much in your video apart from the close ups of your faces. Very disappointing
Okay!
awful food and weather
Wrong on both accounts!
You guys are so cute!
Thanks for watching 😊
