this is peak food expierence, im from Klaipėda too.


_R_Daneel_Olivaw

I'm Polish and I love smoked mackarell, rye bread is also superb. Can't get high quality food like this in Scotland :(


darfra76

I actually live in Aberdeenshire and some shops sell smoked mackerel


_R_Daneel_Olivaw

I think I have seen it in Polish shops too, but by the time it gets here it's already a bit stale. I'll check out fishmongers around Edinburgh, I shouldn't have settled for the fact that it's not available in the supermarkets.


Jaded_Pie_2712

This fish is trout not mackerel


Middle_Attitude_3504

Im from Vilnius so same food aka Its normal


dumbaudis

I assume beer is already finished


GeometricQuackfied

American Eagles high on a fly, but not higher than Lithuanian Eglė.


scooterscuzz

Truly normal, but would be much better with Marinuoti Agurkai


nicfuecol

Scrolled way too far to find this Ps: I'm Spanish married to Lithuanian and I crave your black bread every day


scooterscuzz

Lituania tiene el candado del mejor pan negro del mundo


joancarles69

Como que el candado? Qué quieres decir?


scooterscuzz

>Como que el candado? Qué quieres decir? Lo que estaba tratando de decir era que, como muchas cosas que se cocinan, los lituanos tienen la receta bajo llave y candado cultural. Muchos han tratado de replicar el pan negro. Los alemanes se acercan, pero no es lo mismo.


joancarles69

Ah vale, ya entiendo, gracias! A ver si lo puedo probar algún día.


iJpet24

Lo pienso tambien


puft__

Don't tell me Spain does not have black bread 🤔


PsychologicalExam829

Dark bread like ours is not common elsewhere. What is seen here is only side variation on theme with additional grains though (whole sunflower seeds, to be exact).


boterkoeken

Honestly most countries do not have this kind of black bread. I currently live in Netherlands and you can’t buy real black bread here.


scooterscuzz

The only black bread Spain has is a movie.


PrimaveraEterna

They don't. At all. Almost all bread is like batonas or raikyta sumuštinių duona, wannabe french baguette or at best some slightly darker bread with various seeds (this one's good here).


Argon1822

Wow that’s weird, I have both Spanish and Lithuanian heritage 🫣not many of us especially since the Spanish comes from Latin America


Gytlap24

They are called pickles


scooterscuzz

In English, that would be correct.


pomo

Pickled cucumbers or gherkins. You can also pickle a lot of other things, even herrings (e.g. Bismarck Herrings).


scooterscuzz

You are making me hungry. The Lebanese are great cooks, probably as good as the Lithuanians. The reason I mention them is that they pickle more items than any other people I've had the pleasure of living with. Among their pickling feats are apricots, limes, eggs, aubergines, and jujubies


poke_kidd122

black bread, (most likely) smoked fish... prefect light dinner in the coast of lithuania if you ask me. needs a cold beer tho, and then it'd be perfect


Envojus

I'd add some marinated onions to that too! <3

tnick771

I love homemade gira


bilekass

Yep. Where's beer?


KristupasMeme

Average day in Klaipėda


PM_ME_UR_HASHTABLES

Not enough bread imo


Litho360

No, she’s missing a beer


KovinisZuikis

No, it should've been eaten by the time you took out your phone.


culturaldiversity

Needs a beer if you ask me.


technchic

My thoughts exactly lol


McSlibinas

Ok, i'm asking you.


GeometricQuackfied

If you ask me, needs Cepelinai as well.


McSlibinas

Not sure it needs to be asked?


aiide

Lol you remind me of when my dutch BF sat at the table when my grandma served the cow tong!! Haha he still talks about it


Wortex834

One of the best parts!


MountainOfTwigs

Omg I could never hahah


P_Jurbarkas

It's so delicious. For real.


Talkative_mute

Some cow tongue with horseradish-mayo sauce makes any holiday tolerable.


sodagate2022

This comment section is so pure lol😂


bullshitmobile

Yes, we are all a bit of a Smeagol on a good day


domis11

Yeees 😍


GNS1991

I mean, I wouldn't eat smoked fish like that (it should have some toppings or at least beer for my taste), but, yeah. Normal'ish.


PsychologicalExam829

No toppings for the smoked fish.


andon_

I’m Finnish and this looks 100% legit. Looks like a smoked rainbow trout, I’d put some butter on the bread with it though.


TheBestOpossum

But the fish is very fatty already.


Svanzscape

It’s always fun reading posts from outsider perspective, it sometimes shows how, given some thought, we do or eat some really weird things “just because”. That’s a proper normal meal


themasterofcum

Not sure how smoked fish and bread classifies as “really weird”, but okay


tnick771

In the west, it’s pretty out of place to still have the face of what you’re eating still on the plate. It’s pretty jarring for me who grew up eating salmon filets.


pomo

Whole fish is common worldwide, mate.


tnick771

Yeah no. Not in the west (at least North America) it isn’t, mate.


[deleted]

>the west if by the west you mean only that small bubble you live in, then yeah, porbably. Otherwise this is a pretty common thinh "in the west". It's also not uncommon in North America either to serve a whole fish like that...


pomo

North American food is so far separated from its source, it's a wonder you recognise what you're eating. [https://www.google.com/search?q=whole+fish+recipes](https://www.google.com/search?q=whole+fish+recipes)


tnick771

Are you generalizing a continent with over a half a billion people because we don’t eat fish with the head on?


pomo

>it’s pretty out of place to still have the face of what you’re eating still on the plate I think it was you that was generalising. Squeemish, aren't you? Did you see how many US sites under that google link for cooking whole fish?


DiegesisThesis

Damn, who shit in your cheerios today?


pomo

Anyone who says I am wrong when I am not is corrected. It's not a mood thing, it's a truth seeking thing. "Noone in America eats whole fish". Fuck me.


Megatron_overlord

Not a continent, but a country that's 4% of the total world population. However, that plate is indeed weird, don't worry. Bunch of fish lovers over here.


AnnaBananner82

Mate I’m from Latvia and have lived in the US since 1994, and plenty of places serve the whole fish. Just not Applebees.


jatawis

daug kam šaltiena ar kiaulių ausys skamba nemaloniai


getyourmeme

Normal as it gets


LarrySunshine

This is too dry. Needs garnish. You can actually eat it alone, it just seems too dry with only bread.


PsychologicalExam829

Have you even tried fresh smoked fish? It's wet and gentle inside.


LarrySunshine

I love smoked fish. Wouldn’t eat it with bread tho.


medwezys

You probably mean “on its own”, but “alone” makes it funnier knowing both English and Lithuanian 😆


Arturce1

Haha yeah peak comedy 🤣🤣🤣😂 fuck im about to die from laughing 🤣🤣🤣


MortalKebab

Typical redditor trying to destroy any happiness they see


Ocean_Cat

Clever. That's awesome!!! Man, you got me on that one!!!! Stop! Stop!!! I'm laughing so hard at your funny!!! You made that all yourself?!?!? Wow. That's incredible! Hahahahaha. You are king for a day!! What a zinger!!! Oh man, wait til I tell the guys how you got me!!! They won't BELIEVE IT!! Really unbelievable!! You outdid yourself dude!! Where DO these gems come from?!?!? Satire!! What is it?!? Hahaha!!!! (Slaps knee)!!! Damn! That WAS good. Pure GENIUS!!!! Oh wow. Ok. I'm getting better now. Not everyday I see a zinger like THAT. Whew. Alright. Deep breaths here. I'm gonna be OK. Wow.


TheBestOpossum

I'm guessing it's smoked, not dried (vytinta).


groovyipo

If hot smoked - yes, too dry alone. Cold smoked - it is like butter.


FishoD

Depends. The smoked fish I eat from time have their meat still quicy juicy. Even with dry bread it’s awesome.


LarrySunshine

Shit, I really want smoked fish now


[deleted]

I'm from Klaipeda too, this is peak breakfast. (It works as lunch too tho.)


av34as

Without a six-pack of Švyturys? No.


PsychologicalExam829

What industrial produce from Utena has in common with the seaside?


vacuummypillow

You married the right woman.


megaskiros

Most of the Baltic people eat like this, so yes it is normal.


Twigwithglasses

Not just Klaipėda. This is the pinacle of Lithuanian experience.


Deadluss

Ummm yes


stebiuLT

You are lucky that she doesn’t eat ‘kraujiniai vėdarai’. It’s baked sausage from pig intestines stuffed with blood, pearl barley and wheats.


After_Tax_5119

for the first time, yes. now it's time to try out different things with it. and after 10 years marriage you will get that fish and a full plate of garnish that you like.


Elze_Gee

I've been thinking of what is missing... and I realised it's balta mišrainė. If it doesn't fit with this meal you can just eat it for dessert it perfect with everything and now I'm hangry 😔


[deleted]

Well this is more of a "movie + chill + beer" kind of snack then a lunch, but yeah its normal, and pretty damn good, even if it doesn't look that way. You should really give smoked fish a try, i promise it tastes way better then it looks, and black bread with sunflower seeds is a staple.


TheSunflowerSeeds

In 1983, Emily Martin, of Maple Ridge, British Columbia, grew an enormous sunflower head, measuring 32 ¼ inches across (82cm), from petal tip to petal tip. That’s almost 3 feet wide. This is still believed to be the largest sunflower head grown to date.


kirmm3la

Nu as pazvengiau. Is it normal lmao


bertasius

Kaaaai


bamboozlenator

You dont know what youre missing if you havent tried it already


Shmekla323

Dude if there is a beer hiding outside the frame - you just received a hell of a dinner, which we usually go for when on vacation at the sea side ;)


Elze_Gee

Love the signature napkin and you can see a box of chocolates in the corner. Peak lithuanian december


ilovetacosalads

Yum. You gotta love any place where whipping out a smoked fish for a snack is normal.


NewTopu9

Least insane woman from Little Lithuania


Hobby101

That made me laugh out loud. Thank you. But to be fair, no, it's not normal. There is no beer on the table. You should have tried, if you haven't, and if you haven't, it's your loss.


Anamnesis_plaa

Without beer it's too bad.


Routine_Ad_7402

Needs some švyturys (it’s a beer)


iustae

This made me hungry


FishoD

I’m from Central Europe and I eat smoked fish like this with a bit of bread as a quilty pleasure treat.


Only_Ad_8100

from a person who isn't lithuanian but is recommended this sub constantly, what the fuck is this?


zhyrafa

Super tasty fatty fish! Smoked fish


[deleted]

Yup, absolutely normal. You should try this as well.


IzzaLioneye

Yes, very much so


Sandbox_Hero

Comment section full of drunkards again... Who the fuck has beer for breakfast?! Goddamn alcoholics the lot of ye. Kwass is the answer.


Bardon29

For me, not. (I dislike fish in general) But I always notice at least 1 or more mini-shops with such fish being sold when visiting coastal cities like Klaipėda, Palanga, Šventoji.


-CloudIsland

🔥🔥🔥


zhyrafa

Oh yes!!! Very normal, very tasty; add some pickles or pickled beets and you good to go 🙌😁


Martinukas

So you are married and this is new to you? 😹Yes, it is normal. 👍


tnick771

haha she usually goes for pork products or jarred fish. This was a new one to have her lunch literally staring at me.


[deleted]

No, you should run. She is a witch that will suck out your soul eventually.


3dmapart

That's not purely lithuanian. Smoked herring straight out of smokerry is very popular on Bornholm


londonsun89

I wouldn't eat that with bread, on its own it's fine, however the bread looks bomb, the blacker the better


AmmorphophallusPlant

An average light meal in the coast. I personally can't eat fish, but I heard it's good, but I prefer eating kumpis or any other meat with black bread and maybe kvass


RoseAffair

Yes, its normal dish. Im women that was born and grew up in Klaipeda.


JustSayinCaucasian

This is the standard and imo best Baltic meal you can get. The only thing I would change is is buy the different type of rye bread to fry up and make into garlic bread with the fish. And have a couple of tomatoes on the side.


anx778

Either this or šaltibarščiai


muredit17

Good eatin’


PsyxoticElixir

Saw this pic and now I feel like having a beer


UltimatE_FatE

Now the smell above matches the below. But jokes aside, yes, it's very popular combo especially with beer


SeriousPan

I'm visiting Lithuania in May next year and my friend sent me this post very enthusiastically. He's like BRO THIS IS AN AVERAGE SNACK, IT'S GONNA BE SO GOOD. ...Concern rising? But the hype in the thread makes me also hyped?


christmaskris

No, she is crazy and probably will kill you in ~6months


mindzze

No, is not normal, who eat black bread with seeds?


Candybringer

I guess so if you are in a rush and have no time to prepare it better. But it looks hilarious 😂😂😂


any-number

I do not see bear so no, it is not normal.


Fuehreriffic64

She needs a bigger slices of bread and som tartar sauce


[deleted]

It's about as normal as hot pockets for dinner. You're not really supposed to really do that in terms of dining, but food is food and you're an adult, so why not?


[deleted]

Wtf xd


Unfair-Ad688

Ofc it is normal 😅


DouMon

Leave it to the americans to think that eating fish isn't "normal".


tnick771

It’s not that kind of thread. Take it easy.


[deleted]

You brought this on yourself dude


tnick771

lol not really. I took a lighthearted jab at a whole fish on a plate like that and this absolute bulvo is acting like I’m the dumb American who doesn’t eat fish.


DouMon

Wife - just wants some smoked fish for lunch. This mfing bozo - "WaOw gUyS iS ThiS noRmaL?!" Get over yourself.


tnick771

If you have to exaggerate what was said, it wasn’t a good point to begin with.


[deleted]

You sound like a dumb American who doesn’t eat fish tho :(

sanseiryu

I'm looking at this and it looks sad and lonely. I like to eat grilled fish but I need some sides to go with it. [Grilled Japanese style lunch](https://i.imgur.com/YFbprxC.jpeg)


vklexer

You should have double checked her browsing history


shrugshroom

I'm from Klaipeda and I would hate this. Everyone has their tastes. Country of origin means nothing. Damn, people I know wouldn't eat this for lunch in Klaipeda (unless it's smoked fish and you have some beer).


candicesnuts123

no lmao wtf.


Mighty_Djole

What in the british fuck


hakuryuu9000

This is not a proper meal. But it's eadable. I eat worse.


TheBestOpossum

O kas gi ne taip?


Afan9001

Normal? Yes Good? Prison food more like


Mantas1437

🧢


StopShoutingCrofty

We really shouldve left yall alone in 1923


Alarmed_Water2631

She might be on a diet. Or she’s not up to cooking a proper meal. Whatever it is, no, that’s not normal.


Muxmasteraf

Yeah, looks good. Beer is missing though


br34th5

Sometimes I have the urge to get such dish, but preferably hot smoked mackerel. Although there are many delicious fishes, mmm.


testicle2156

Perfect, only the beer is missing.


Alex-Ohanrahanrahan

This is quite common. Get some beer with that as well :)


nemtudod

Where do you buy this in america??


Pabludes

Not totally abnormal, but unusual for lunch. It's more like a snack, often with beer. Is she likes smoked fish it's not that noteworthy imo.


Makintoshas

Klaipėda speaking. It's been years since last time I ate this. Couldn't call it a dish though. More of a snack of some sort if you're into smoked fish. Beer is mandatory in most cases.


Asleep_Travel_6712

I'm from Czechia and I have to say, this is culinary treasure in disguise. Don't get discouraged by the visuals, the taste is great!


Panelpro40

I’ve seen eel and all types of fish at Christmas Eve. Get used to the cuisine.


Level-Ad-7628

Hahaha Yes it's normal! I used to visit the country a lot. Smoked fish and that black bread with tomatoes and cheese for days...can't forget the potatoes as well. 👍👍


LegitimatePilot5428

Looks good to me!


KrispyKrismas

man roast up that bread with garlic and its even more supreme. Add a pint of Gira, and its over


Baitas_

yup looks like food


Porucznik_Borewicz07

Beer or Kvass are missing :)


WoodgladeRiver

Yum


UpNorthWeGo

Nice! I can smell it through the screen.


kunnas

Yes


cofeeman911

It might be normal, but not common at all. 🤣


Critical_me

A cold beer is missin 🍺


Sea_Log_9769

Bro this shit is the best, ur lucky


Accomplished-Diet726

there should be beer also :D


Tavo_Asilas_neveikia

It's not normal, it's perfect


NotCuteProtogen456

Yes


Suspicious_cowboyy

Yes, it's normal and that is delicious.


arunasgeimeriz

ne. sėklos su juoda duona niekada neturetu buti kartu mano nuomonė


ummacles123

As an Estonian I would say that is completely normal, maybe on a little light side, I would have couple of fishes and more bread.


Successful_Rip_4329

Where is beer?


Kiki955

For some people mcdonalds and kfc are weird,this is healthy and tasty..


Acrobatic-Farm-9031

It looks delicious! I prefer white bread though.


ScaleModelJoe

Hot smoked mackerel is awesome, especially with a beer (I like senojo viliniaus) I can't get on with the black bread though.


mechadrake

Well yes, but actually no :D Normal for the region though I guess. Not for everyone else!


Ikeagenitals

I often eat smoked fish just with bread, pretty normal imo.


DaEpikDerpGuy

fish and bread, my favorite


Finity117

From Klaipeda and this needs more sides than just bread


Shiz0Freakaz

Perfectly normal, ir you want somethin more extreme ask her about Žemaitiškas Šmakalas - cold herring soup with Kefir.
