A new war is uprising. You can smell the gunpowder in the air. Tension is rising between two allies — Latvia and Lithuania — as National Pink Soup Day approaches in Lithuania.
Lithuania makes it the proper way: beetroots, cucumbers, fresh veggies, and topped off not with water, but kefir. 🇱🇹
Latvia also makes a similar version… but then they add doctor’s sausage to it. Yuck. 🇱🇻🌭
So who does cold pink soup belong to, you ask?
Well, our neighbors the Poles literally call it “Chłodnik litewski” — Lithuanian cold soup. Case closed.
Get ready for battle, braliukas. The šaltibarščiai front is heating up. 🥣⚔️
