  • WHY IS SHE OBSESSED WITH THIS?
    Join me as we wander around Riga looking for a Latvian obsession.
    We arrive at the bus station and head straight to the Old Town of Riga, meet some locals and finally make it to the supermarket.
    We later head for the Riga Central Market and meet our Latvian Native friend Anna who goes over this delicious Latvian obsession ( and sometimes not so delicious).
    If you enjoy adventure videos from the former Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, grab your vodka, and some zakusky and join me as we uncover a strange Latvian Obsession.

    This video is the first time I see a Latvian who hasn't tried black bread soup. I grew up with it. Didn't really like it much as a kid, but love it now.
    As to why Latvians love it, it's always been the local working man's food - cheap, nutritious and filling. Nothing like a good slice of black bread with a slice of salo and a sprinkling of fresh garlic to keep a man going through a day of hard work at the farm or factory.
    One of my favourite uses for black bread is garlic toasts, which are an ideal snack with beer. One can buy them readily-made, but if you ever feel like making some at home, the best kind of bread for that is Borodinsky, a brand seasoned with coriander and caraway popular around the former Soviet Union. Folks commonly call it "brick" because it's baked in a mould. One can use other brands too but they tend to get too hard - "brick" bread gets just the right kind of crispy.

    Kārums with black bread? We've not yet discovered this particular iteration of one of our staple "something tasty" treats, but that won't be true for much longer. Also, rupjmaize zupiņa (with a nice dollop of whipped latvian cream, which I'd love to compare back to back with Devon clotted cream one day) has become something I adore.

    I love black bread buttered, with eggs and anchovies. It's also delicious with sour cream, tomatoes and onions, and my favorite sweet style is with cream cheese and raspberry jam. Since I live in America, I've never had the chance to taste the bread soup or candies. Funny that nobody in the Latvian community here makes the bread soup.

    I think Latvians would also find it weird to have chocolate on a cheese, because the cottage cheese used for Karums isn't really a cheese in the minds of Latvians. There's a different term for that in Latvian: "biezpiens", which literally translates to "thick milk" and milk goes well with chocolate :) In fact, people say that it's better to use the word "quark" instead of the "cottage cheese" to describe the "biezpiens" as the cottage cheese usually has added salt, while quark/biezpiens doesn't.

    As a kid I didn't like black bread altogether, maybe wouldn't mind it with butter and salt. But I liked garlic black bread (still do). At least my mom cooked black bread in oil (in pan or in pot) and grate garlic on the bread. Or something like that.
    So of course as a kid I didn't like black bread soup when it was as desert in school lunch.
    However now that I haven't eat it in a while I recently thought about it that I haven't eat it and maybe now I would like it. And now I see it in a video.
