Good call, NT...those are great. One of my favorites is Saltibarsciai, Lithuanian Cold Beet Soup. It's made from a base of buttermilk. Awesome in the summer:

Saltibarsciai
(Lithuanian Cold Beet Soup)
This traditional Lithuanian soup (meaning "cold beet soup") is stuffed with crisp and tender textures--all of them bold in flavor--and delivered in a refreshingly cold and sour buttermilk broth. Serve ice cold as a light summer meal to 4-6 people with fresh boiled potatoes, also sprinkled with dill.

* 8 cups cold buttermilk
* 1 medium cucumber, sliced into thick matchsticks
* 3 medium beets, boiled, peeled, and cut into thick matchsticks
* 2 eggs, hardboiled, sliced into matchstick shapes
* 1/4 cup scallions, chopped
* 1 Tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
* salt and pepper
Garnish: chopped fresh dill

Ankimo, which is monkfish liver pate, you can get it in some Japanese restaurants.

"The liver is first rubbed with salt, then rinsed with sake. Then its veins are picked out and the liver is rolled into a cylinder and steamed. Ankimo is often served with chili-tinted grated daikon radish, thinly sliced green onions and ponzu sauce. Ankimo is considered one of the Chinmi (delicacies) of Japan."

I'm a big fan of lychees. They are a small fleshy fruit with a thin, tough shell. It's hard to really describe the taste, but it's somewhat like coconut milk.

I ate that right on the beach on Jeju Island Korea.
They dive for them and keep 'em alive in tubs waiting for you to order.
Then they kill it and serve it immediately with hot sauce.

and eat pickled bologna. It is about a 2" diameter bologna sold in rings, that if straightened would be about 12-14 inches long. Kogel's is the most popular brand up there, but living in Chicagoland, I cant find it unless I get into eastern Michigan. (Detroit area)

Are you talking about kielbosa sausages?

[/ QUOTE ]

No this is a food served cold, (snack, not meal) it is bologna that is pickled in a spiced vinegar.
