Latvian Master Baker
November 17, 2004
I'm living with Latvians again. This time Emils has brought wife/girlfriend Simone and its cosy as can be. They brought me some highly crafted rye bread from Riga. Normally the loaves are 50cm across, this loaf being a cute mini export version.
The bakery claims to be the 'only bakery in Latvia to have restored the ancestral Latvian national traditions...' I'm going to assume that's a Latvian to English translation glitch on the label.

it's sweet and rich and tastes like a cross between dessert and something German and nutritious. there is supposed to be a version with carrots in it and one with fruit and the latvians have made me really curious.

Sounds nice, but I like my ryebread the Finnish way: not sweet.

do you know how to make it the Finnish way too, or just how to buy it the Finnish way?
