Lithuanian cuisine is a northern European cuisine that features products suited to the cool and moist climate of Lithuania, such as potatoes, mushrooms, dairy products, and various meats.
Lithuanian cuisine has been influenced by German, French, and Eastern traditions, as well as the neighboring Baltic countries. Some of the most popular dishes in Lithuania are:

Cepelinai: large potato dumplings stuffed with meat, cheese, or mushrooms, and served with sour cream and bacon bits.
Kugelis: a baked potato pudding with eggs, bacon, and onion, often eaten with sour cream or lingonberry jam.
Šakotis: a tall, spiky cake made from batter that is poured over a rotating spit and baked over an open fire. It is a traditional dessert for weddings and celebrations.
Kibinai: small pastries filled with minced meat, cheese, or vegetables, similar to Cornish pasties. They are a specialty of the Karaite community in Lithuania.
Šaltibarščiai: a cold beetroot soup with kefir, cucumber, dill, and boiled eggs, usually served with hot boiled potatoes. It is a refreshing dish for summer
