I heard about the famous Lithuanian dish "Saltibarsciai" before I arrived this summer. It's a bright pink (think pepto bismol) cold beet soup made with kefyras (sort of like buttermilk), beets, dill and some cucumber. I knew that in order to have a true Lithuanian experience I had to try it, but to be honest I was not looking forward to it. I went out with a few other faculty members last Friday night and had the soup for dinner. It actually wasn't terrible! It is served with several wedges of boiled potatoes. I found that when I dipped the potatoes in the soup and ate them together it was actually quite tasty! Though just a spoonful of the soup was not something I wanted more than a few spoonfuls of.
