You definitely overreacted trying pigs ears. It's not that bad. Actually not bad at all. Perfect beer snack. Smoky flavor, crunchy. Might be just a fact that you eating pigs ear that put you off. I mean... Everyone loves pork crackling (rinds) So it's the same thing, but more smoky and natural flavors
Oh good! I’m so glad there is a fellow museum lover here! I find knowing the history of a place really gives me a better understanding of the people, culture and how things came to be. Gives a deeper meaning for sure. YES! It was COLD being there in November, but the meals help stave off the winter for sure
That looks so amazing!! I am a museum nerd too, and love that you can actually touch things if you go!! The food looks amazing. And your face when you tried the pig ears 😂😂
Really great footage and I appreciate the information. We are trekkers and anthropologists. So, we definitely feel your channel. Subed to see more.We are excited to be planning an April trip to the Balkans and Vilnius is 3-4 days of the trip, as a scouting/filming adventure for our World tour.. Thank you for the inspiration. Cheers to 2023 being amazing for both of our channels. Hope to see you out there. - Turtle and Bear
You just made me tear up a little bit. I work very hard to make these videos good, so despite the lower numbers this comment means everything to me. Thank you 🙏
Exploring during the winter is commendable. Nature is still sleeping, thus Vilnius looks a bit bleak and people from the lack of sunlight can be grumpy :D
I thought it was still beautiful though personally! I mean Europe has so much history and so many difference in culture. I agree that spring/summer/fall is great, BUT off season is a bit cheaper too and was there during Christmas so it was kinda fun to see all the decorations going up.
😂 Especially with how cold the winter is there I feel like Cepelinai is a basic food group! When in Lithuania in winter there is no such thing as cholesterol in food, lol. It was more the cracklins I was speaking about, but even then, you can't go wrong with bacon ;)
I majored in history and minored in international studies. I was impressed with your knowledge and impressions of Vilnius. The city is blossoming into such a beauty! It is 700 years young! Did you visit the renovated park, Bernardinu Sodas?
No I didn’t unfortunately :-( I really do want to go back, before I went everyone said “what’s in Lithuania except meat and potatoes” but honestly I REALLY loved it and found the history to be the most fascinating part, but clearly ‘people’ were grossly wrong about Vilnius
@@CultureTrekking Thanks for the reply. Lots of renovations in place. Praying it will all be restored to its glory! I hope one day the upper castle will be renovated!
Ya know, that’s a great question. I don’t know the answer tbh. Other than Saint Casimir and the rumor of the shroud of Turin - that’s all I know. I think when the Russian occupation happened a lot Of things were destroyed within the churches
Oh good! Glad u liked it!! Honestly I have no clue, I didn’t know it existed til it said something about it being here online, lol. BUT it WOULD make sense wouldn’t it?! Lol
Have you ever been to Lithuania? Would you try pig ears? What is the craziest thing you have eaten while abroad?

9:24 Cepelinai isn't unhealthy food, it's boiled potatoes with ground pork lol.

Boiled and fried cepelinai in one plate, what can be better...:)
Was soooo DELICIOUS! Potatoes in the states just aren’t the same now….sigh….
Can I ask do any of the churches have any canonnized nuns in their churches? If that is the right term for it?or any saints ?
Ya know, that’s a great question. I don’t know the answer tbh. Other than Saint Casimir and the rumor of the shroud of Turin - that’s all I know. I think when the Russian occupation happened a lot
Of things were destroyed within the churches
I salute you. I am interested to go and work in Lithuania. I want to help a little I want to do a job my country Bangladesh
Cepelinai are healthier that chicken-fried steak.
VERY TRUE!
St. Casimir is buried at the Vilnius Cathedral and not at St. Casimir's Church.
Thank you! That bit was so confusing trying to keep track of where everyone was buried.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Awe thank you so much!!
Pig ears are delicious yet she couldn't eat it. LOL
I reeeeeaaally tried, soooo do I get points for at least trying? 😂
@@CultureTrekking OK I'll give you 1 point for trying.
А в Украину,когда приедешь?
О, я определенно планирую приехать в Украину! Не волнуйтесь!
@@CultureTrekking Ну теперь я буду спать спокойно.
