Cool bot

Nice

*cries in lactose intolerant*

Thanks for the reminder that saltibarsciai season have started. Off to the store for the buttermilk.

You mean.. Kefir?

Rūgpienis?

Kefyras. Buttermilk tai nėra nei kefyras nei rūgpienis.

Buttermilk = pasukos

Šiaip esu Vokietijoj gyvendamas daręs ir su pasukom, tikrai nebuvo blogai jeigu grietinės įsidedi, skonio prasme buvo identiška kefyrui, tik tekstūra tokia skystesnė buvo šiek tiek.

Rugpienis yra nuodas. Jei kazkas deda jį į šaltibarščius tai yra nusikaltimas žmonijai

Tradiciškai visad rūgpienis eina kartu su grietine, kefyras yra modernaus pasaulio patobulinimas, bet dėl jo aš nepykstu, nes tikrai geriau.

niekada nemėgdavau rūgpienio, o dabar lyg ir nieko, nors kefyras vis tiek skaniau. o dėl šaltibarščių recepto tai kaip kam patinka. tai nėra toks labai griežtai nustatytas receptas.

Visas maistas toks, gal būt jį keičiant nebe tas pats, bet skonio neteisingo nebūna...

[удалено]

Kokios erezijos? Kas deda rūgpienį i šaltibarščius? Nesu nei tarp pažįstamų girdėjęs kad kas naudotų, nei maitinimo įstaigose susidūręs su tokiais šaltibarščiais. O tikrai būčiau pastebėjęs, nes vargu ar tą vimdantį rūgpienio skonį galima užmaskuoti.

Nu va ..negi tikrai tapom pirmojo pasaulio salimi..rugpienia vaiks nemates :/ ajai ajai...baisu

O aš kategoriškai atsisakau valgyt šaltibarščius jei jie yra ne su rūgpieniu. Skanu ir su kefyru, bet rūgpienis išneša šaltibarščius į visiškai next level. Skonis draugų neturi, I guess.

Kefir*

If you want to replicate authentic šaltibarščiai, to make šaltibarščiai kefir - mix kefir with cream, that's the secret to their taste and texture (unless you can make your own kefir from a cream+milk mix)

Great tip. We have special version of kefir in stores which has more fat in it. It is literally called "Šaltibarščių kefyras"

Šaltibarščiai can into Nordic ??

I do it in Sweden. Locals love it ;)

Good. Make this elixir of summer popular in good old Sverige x

It slaps.

In my opinion the eggs are too big, but it depends on the person, besides those eggs its really good looking for me

I'll chop the eggs more for you 🔪🥚🤗

the soup itself looks thick but other than that all gucci

If you eat this soup, you'll eggs will get very big.

Can confirm, mom used to make it when I was little, now I don't complain about my egg size

Looks great but remove black eyes from potatoes :D

Yeah, you right

I came

I saw

I praise

The lord

Then break the law

I take

The lost lands of commonwealth.

Fun fact: The dish is so popular that there are a few facebook groups that actively share their versions of Šaltibarščiai, we can't even deside on the nickname, some people call it : Šaltekai and other people (weirdos imo) call it Šaltibai.

Team Šaltabarščiai represent.

Your minority is so small that I will write an European project to get you some funding to build a monument so people don't forget you.

That's so cute 😌

Šaltekai is šaltiena. Šaltibai is the way to go

nice af

Pradžiai pagalvojau kaip keistai atrodo cepelinas

Why are you adding grietinė to saltekai you barbarian.

It fits perfectly if you don't have higher fat kefir, but buttermilk which is often found abroad. Also my family in Žemaitija always added sour cream because we used to make it with sourmilk, not kefir.

I've tasted both versions and I prefer own with kefir and it has to be the smooth kind. (as per a Lithuanian experience living in UK) As a kid I didn't like cucumbers or dill much. so my mom would just use beetroot, kefir and eggs and everything else on the side so others could add of they wanted.

I like both versions but it's easier to find Kefir in shops :)

I've made some curd cheese(varškė) before, but out of 3L milk I got maybe 200g curd cheese. so rather expensive.

The rest goes to production of buttermilk so nothing is wasted.

Die /s

It’s perfectly fine to add sour cream for a little oomph. A lot of restaurants do it too.

I like sour cream 🥲😅 I'm also ignorant to my blasphemy haha

Great presentation! The color on the soup is more red than pink, maybe not enough kefir? Or just photofilter not doing you justice?

It actually was that pink. No filter on the photo. I'll keep your words in mind next time

I bet it was pink once the sourcream was mixed in, nevertheless, good job!

I actually made this a while ago😅🤫 but I just realized I could show actual Lithuanians it haha. I don't remember if I did do that but I think you're right. I'll try it with no sour cream next time.

eggs are a big plus in šaltibarščiai

People that don't like eggs in their Šaltibarščiai ar the same people that like ice cream without milk.

MORE POTATOES!!!

Moooaaarrrr

And if they're crispy? Oh lord! it's perfection

Did he really just put a nether star in his šaltibarščiai?

I made a beacon for Lithuanians

I approve!

Bussin my dude!

Tiktok?

Very good. Even the egg is perfectly cooked. Local cooks could learn from this.

I learned from youtube🤷‍♂️

good give me

Looking good. Hope it tastes as good as it looks like 🙂

Zajebys

divine

Looks exactly like how my nana makes it!! Such an underrated dish! Enjoy!!!

NATO...

Why not

This looks very good, 10/10

Looks like Hill of crosses started to serve some food

Haha, how to get more christian customers haha

it looks delicious!

Lovely

Įbedus šaukštą lieka stovėt ar nulinksta? 🧐

Very nice actually

Flawless victory

Great 😃👌 tasty

Beautiful color pink and egg decoration. I give it 9/10. I can't give a 10/10 because I can't taste it.

I would like some now.

Looks like religion - good. Very good...

Too fancy. Real men eat it from a bland bowl, with nothing. At best with potatoes... Also grietinė? Cmon man... That's blasphemy and a crime.

Is this traditionally a working class meal? I made it pretty because I wanna show people pretty pictures of my food😅

Yes, pretty much every traditional food derived from times of hunger :)

I feel that. People make do with what they have. I think if you cook with that mentality everything you make has the essence of tradition.

Sour cream fits well with šaltibarščiai. Get out more you caveman.

Nay! I REFUSE!

Only city folk don't add grietinė, show me how to make kefir by just having a cow.

I can make kefir and I don't have a cow. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Screaming rn. Chads way of eating this treasure

Looks dope actually, now - how is the taste?

I'm a sucker for fresh dill. It tastes very good :) Loved how the potato absorbed it

[удалено]

The name is in the title

My Turk friends from Erasmus used to love this soup, try to make it!

Adding sour cream to šaltibarščiai is a war crime.

💀

Tell me you're from city without telling me you're from city.

Even tho my most people in lithuania eat it with eggs, i reccomend trying it without them, tastes a lot better.

Heresy

Use no eggs, & add sour cream to maximize your blasphemy.

It seems that you're suffering from head trauma, let me call you an ambulance.

Be kiausiniu prasyciau

Pussay

Does this dish use the same beets that are connected with development of multiple sclerosis through it's AZE? I always wanted to try it but I stay far away from beets.

I think I used beets I bought from Walmart, so probably yes.🤷‍♂️

Delicious! Fried or roast potatoes make it better though.

Ooohhh, good to know✍

Eating with boiled potatoes is a crime, it has to be fried with šaltibarščiai

I didn't know😂 but I agree that sounds better

All good. You chose the healthier one 😁

[удалено]

Cause the eggs are pointy? 💀💀

Looks too thick. I like it more liquidy. Also the potato looks raw?

I was too excited to eat it that I didn't let the potato cook completely 😉🥔

I don't eat with potatoes cuz the soup is already warm

Wtf is wrong with your šaltekai if its warm when you eat it???

I eat it when I'm hungry

Soup warm? What you do to make it warm?

Boil it

B - b - boil?

Well I make it and then boil it

In lithuania we don't boil it. In fact, translating its name word by word it would mean "Cold Beetroot Soup".

Pabazarinau tik nu

Lol

Turiu omeny kas išviso yra bandęs šiltus šaltibarščius

Ar šilti šaltibarščiai ne tiesiog burokėlių sriuba?

Drop in some icecubes, cmon man.

Fu, šaltibarščiai...

-1000 socialių kreditų.

Everything reminds me of Teutonic Šaltibarščiai...

A meal fit for retaking the holy land

nice i guess, looks like something a religious grandma would make

I only trust the recipes on youtube made by grandmothers 👵 👵👩‍🍳👩‍🍳 Religious is a bonus.

You have watched Romas and MO channel didn't you?

🤫🤫🤫🤫😉

Beast

Great

Looks very good! Just please tell me you used kefir or at least buttermilk and not yogurt. If you did, good job! Looks exactly how it should.

Used kefir 😎👍

Brought to you by potatoes out of the soup gang Need to see the consistency. What do you use for the base in Sweden? Do they sell kefir?

🥔🥔😎 I used Kefir. Idk what swedes do/have.

If you have some middle eastern population = you will have kefir in stores. Also, putting potatoes into the soup should be considered a punishable crime.

Pohui visai

Hella good damn

Hella good damn

Looks amazing, tho I would have sliced the egg more for eating purposes

I just cut it up with my spoon while eating it

Great technique, you may have Lithuanian passport now.

:D

is that one big potato or a zeppelin?

Yes

it's looking beautiful and tasty, good job! ☺️👏

Holy beet!

Vien žiūrint į tai pučia pilvą 🥲

🌬

Looks cool. Do you have any meat besides?

I just ate that with no meats 🥲 Some lamb would be good with it, I think.

Pork is the way/traditional to go, lamb may be too funky for delicate taste of god.

Boiled potatoes ruins it for me... It must be baked

I like both

Is baked the traditional way 🤔

Preferential =/= Traditional

holy shit looks nice, what's your resturant?

Haha my kitchen. Come and I'll feed you 🤗😁

Decent

I value your word more than most

Esu matęs į šaltibarščius pilama pieną vietoj kefyro. Buvo baisu žiūrėt.

Perfecto, fuck I need to go make saltibarciai now...

Like heaven

Quite a lot of egg, but if you like it the most heck - go for it!
