Appetizers in a Lithuanian Meal

Ruta Degutis is president of the Lithuanian Club in Cleveland.  She explained the appetizers the group would be served.  Lithuanian sushi – herring in a tomato and onion sauce served at Christmas and in winter, Lithuanian dark rye garlic bread and a salad of bread, cheese and lentils.

Greens are not used in salads because it is a cold climate and lettuce and greens are not available.

Ruta spoke at the ClevelandPeople.Com Passport Adventure to Lithuania at the Cleveland Lithuanian Club.  The Passport Adventurers visit traditional ethnic restaurants and showcases the food, culture, history of the country – in this case Lithuania.
