Did you know that Lithuania was famous for its amber and chocolate?
Until recently, neither did I.
Our boss really treats us well!
Every short-term exper (STE) visitingt from Lithuania gets instructions to bring us some goodies.
What follows is a 70% Ugandan cocoa bittersweet chocolate with fleur de sel from a small Lithuanian farm that produces gourmet chocolate. I love working with food inspectors!!!
You see the tiny white specks? That's salt. And salty it is!!!
An assortment of chocolate-mousse filled chocolate candies...
If you also ODd on all this chocolate, here are The Three Nines.
40% strong spirit made from 27 different herbs.
40% strong spirit made from 27 different herbs.
Hence the name.
Stronger than Jagermeister, the aniseed (the only one of 27 herbs I could identify) makes it slightly reminiscent of my beloved Gurktaler Alpenkrauter, though not as sweet.
Perfect with some aged cheddar, also courtesy of our food safety experts...
I did not vote at this year's EUROVISION song contest but when it comes to food, Lithuania gets 12 points from me!
When are you coming to Sa, to bring us some of this mouthwatering stuff? My eyes are like saucers right now, I want to try all of it!

@K, C-101, you've got it!!! It's still not "triple Milka time" but I would not dare come without a bag of goodies. Planning to visit soon.
