Baku Kitchen! An independent reference of traditional food

Estonia

Estonia’s food is built around baltic peasant fare of black rye bread, pork, potatoes, and dairy, with kama and sprats. Look for Rye bread (dark sour rye loaf, the revered daily staple), Verivorst (barley blood sausage with lingonberry jam and sauerkraut; Christmas) and Mulgipuder (barley-potato mash with smoked bacon, Mulgimaa pride). Sour black rye is a national symbol; households kept the starter for generations, and dropped bread was picked up and kissed before being eaten.
