Lithuania O.K-hands up who knows where Lithuania is? Put your hand down Gareth, you do not! We didn't either, but we found it on the map, between Poland and Belarus. Go and look it up sometime. Anyway, they were traditionally poor, peasant folk who ate only what they could grow or raise. Their meals are dominated by potatoes, pork and chicken. We ate a potato and chicken cake, made by layering grated potatoes with cooked chicken and breadcrumbs. Despite being quite plain, with a good sprinkle of salt and pepper it was really nice. We served it with gherkins, carrot sticks and cheese and everyone gobbled it up, even Niamh who has been very sick today. Carter gives it 100 thumbs up and he says he loved it!!

So, ah, what is the capital of Lithuania then ?? the meal sounds nice, did you bake it once you had made the layers, and I wonder how it would be cooked peasant style?

I think you'll find it is Velnuis. Yes, we baked it for about 2 hours. We had the left-overs today with a little butter on the top which just made it even yummier!
Niamh is feeling much better today.
