Description
Only in Lithuania... Cepelinai. Potato Dumplings
-----
If you asked any Lithuanian what represents our country one of three answers would be cepelinai. This image is made from series of photos showing the whole process of cooking Lithuanian national dish- cepelinai. It is a lot of work but the result is rewarding. It's a very tasty and filling meal. Most often you'd probably get cepelinai with meat filling but on the day I made this photo project I was making ones with curd (cottage cheese), so that's why you see this filling in this collage. Other filling Lithuanians would make are mushrooms, chopped bacon.
-----
The collage can become a great gift to someone who has an interest to Lithuanian cuisine, someone who lives in Lithuania or outside or it, someone who loves Lithuanian food and longs for it. The picture can become a great detail of Lithuanian restaurant, bar, deli or a family kitchen.

Sounds very tasty....I think I'd like to make them myself! Thanks for the explanation, Ausra!

Very interesting collage, Ausra!! Are cepelinai similar to perogies?
Ausra Huntington nee Paulauskaite replied:
Thanks for taking time to see so many photos of mine, Barbara. To answer your question, it's both yes, and no. Yes, in terms of steps that are taken to make them (I should make a collage from photos about making pyrogies I have on my HD), and the filling that can be used. No for the coat. It's different. The "shell" or "coat" of Pyrogies are made out of flour and water, and cepelinai , as you can see in the photo, are made from potatoes. Sometimes only boiled potatoes and starch are used, but most Lithuanians prefer more "real" , authentic taste of grated raw potatoes used as a base of cepelinai shell. Oh, don't get mistaken by the word "raw"! Potatoes are raw in the process of making a dish. When cepelinai get their shape they are boiled in hot water till their shell is soft and Not raw any more.

This collage also includes a photo of Lithuanian beer which is not necessary ingredient for cepelinai but Lithuanians are proud of own beer no less than of cepelinai. That's why it's here.
