I am thinking of opening a Baltic food restaurant in the US (I'm of Baltic origin). I was wondering how popular would it be among Americans?
Let me briefly describe Baltic food. Baltic cuisine represents a clash between Eastern and Western European cooking. Many of its dishes are influenced by both German and Russian cuisine, but it has many of our own. It features food a bit on the heavier side - meat, sausage, potatoes, sour cream, bacon, saur kraut, pickles are very common ingredients.
Most famous dishes are: grated potatoe balls stuffed with ground pork in bacon and sour cream gravy; ground meat balls wrapped in cabagge leaves & served with mashed potatoes; smoked boiled sausage with saur kraut; marinated herring fish; mashed potatoe paties stuffed with meat and fried; deep-fried pocket pies; fried potatoe sausage with bacon gravy; pork chops; beet soup; potatoe salad; beet salad etc.
Would you be interested in trying it? Or does it sound too heavy for you?
