This post is about India, but mostly about some pistachios in India.

Lithuanian Pistachios

Pistachios in Lithuania

Hi pistachio fans, Today we will talk about some pistachios found during a trip to Lithuania to try to make up to someone I cared about. While explanations and apologies were (deservedly)  not accepted, it was a real pleasure to briefly visit the beautiful old city of Vilnius, try some local soups and dishes such as Cepelinai, or potato dumplings stuffed with meat and beetroot soup and relax in a warm café drinking cappuccino before strolling on the icy medieval streets of old Vilnius.   The pistachios in question are these. A nicely packaged 150 g brown bag with a picture of two good looking pistachios on the front. In the back, ingredients are listed, number of calorie and what we guess is a […]
