In fact, it is like the truth. I really want you to understand, or at least listen, that the viability of our Lithuania will depend not only on vaccines, and not only on the extent to which we embrace and accept sexual minorities. We desperately need international food. We need people with different skin color, different beliefs to cook with us that we have different tastes and different spices ratings. Then we will be open to the world, and no, then we will not dissolve our identity, on the contrary, the more open we are, the more different things we accept, the more fun our country, Lithuania, will be, which is not “Lithuania for Lithuanians”: our Lithuania is the most open and happy land in the world.
There are already enough writings about who we are not yet. Here’s food from a country few in Lithuania know about: Jordan. It is a Middle Eastern country with a population of almost ten million (roughly like all the Baltic countries put together) and whose cuisine is very close to that of Syria, Turkey, Israel and many other countries in the region.
In Vilnius we have a Jordanian bakery called “Petra” (Greek for “stone”), and this is the name of the city in southern Jordan. Millions of tourists travel there, despite having Israeli visas in separate passports, as Jordan does not like Jews or those who have visited the Jewish state.
But this food is far from politics. I purely value what I try, and if I like something, it does not mean my support for any political regime or any similar geopolitical position. I just appreciate the food.
Jordanian cuisine is very similar to all Middle Eastern cuisine, I know if I told this to Syrians or Turks they would eat me alive (probably), but the geography and nutritional properties of the region dictate so much what people eat as with what he amuses himself with. .
Ordering Petra was a joy from start to finish. I may have liked falafel less, but it’s an expression of my personal taste – for me, they were too dry, too dry, like cupcakes, although I know there are some in the Middle East, and that’s fine. However, the hummus was one of the best in Lithuania, although it had a very intense flavor, and I took it with the edge of the bread, without being able to stop. Those who love Middle Eastern hummus and are used to trying its various versions will understand me.
Manakish, an Arab pizza (as many call it), with minced meat and chili snowflakes, was a fine and delicate recipe for happiness. It was delicate, finished and made with love. For others, it will just be a cookie with meat. It was an incredibly fun dish for me.
I really liked the cake jars (you can see how they are made on the bakery page on the bakery page), with a variety of fillings: cheese, chicken, beef, and herbed cheese. From the cakes you could feel the love of making and the authenticity. It was a true celebration when one cake was tastier than another. And, I’ll say it again, everything is done with love and care.
The tri-color manakish with an herb was also a flavor bomb. How I love grass! It could eat them and eat them like a herbivore.
And where are the main dishes, you ask? That’s enough for me, it’s good for me anyway, everything is fine here, after all, it is a bakery, not a restaurant. As the bakery manages to make all the lunches, so I rejoice and baptize.
Did I feel like in Jordan? Yes really. Is it worth the € 25.50 spent on this lunch? Yes.
I want Lithuania to have more foreigners, more different cuisines, more options for different life and flavor, I want as many people in our streets and cities as I do not understand Lithuanians, I want Lithuania to be a cauldron of nations and cultures. I want more different skin colors, languages, dialects and religions. And this restaurant is the ticket to success. Congratulations to him. Our Lithuania needs it. Five out of five geese.
