Top 10 Estonian Tastes
- Marineeritud Angerjas: If you want the real Estonian food experience, it’s best to start with this slippery little number - marinated eel served cold.
- Sult: Pork is a staple of Estonian food, and no pork dish is more popular than sult - boiled pork in jelly. Step inside an Estonian home to see jar after jar of jelly setting on the shelves.
- Mulgikapsad: Dig in to a hearty serving of sauerkraut stew with pork and boiled potatoes. It’ll keep you going all winter, and well into spring.
- Koduolu: This beer is made from rye or oat malts filtered through straw and juniper twigs. It’s claimed to be one of the world’s oldest continuous beer-making traditions, drawing inspiration from Babylonian beer-making methods.
- Saku Originaal: For a more modern taste, join the locals in a Saku Originaal - a fine lager, and the most popular in Estonia.
- Silgusoust: There’s nothing like sprats if they’re accompanied with bacon and lashings of sour cream.
- Kali: This non-alcoholic drink has been nicknamed ‘the Estonian Coca-Cola’ for its sweet, slightly fizzy taste.
- Vervivorst: If you’re lucky enough to spend Christmas in Estonia, be sure to try this blood and barley sausage. It’s similar to black pudding and served with berry jam.
- Kama: A thick dessert drink made with sour milk (kefir) and a mixture of ground grains - rye, oat barley and pea flour.
- Keel Hernestega: Not for the faint hearted, this dish of cold tongue is usually served with horseradish for added pizazz.
