On the 27th of February, Saturday morning, the representatives
of Kacergine Basic School community had an amazing trip to Šakiai
district Lekėčiai town. They visited Lekėčiai women's club
Suvalkian
culinary heritage house, where they were welcomed by the women of the
club with hospitality. The guests were treated to traditional dishes of
this region. They had sauerkraut soup with cranberry jam and hot
potatoes. The guests also tried pork jelly, cottage chese with honey,
melted butter and a variety of herbal teas. Each dish was presented in
detail, revealing technological secrets of their production.
Tasting
delicious food was a great experience. However,everybody waited
impatiently for the other part of the visit to Lekečiai - šakotis baking
process, when the students were allowed to do the part of the work
themselves and observe how 21 layers of batter are turning into lovely
little branches of tasty cake. A special moment of the program was
removing cooled šakotis from the roller and smelling unique scent of the
cake spread around the room.
This dainty will go to Italy to Erasmus +
project SOL with our school delegation after 2 weeks.
