Latvian food is honest, root-vegetable-and-rye-anchored Baltic cuisine. Riga's Central Market - one of Europe's largest, built into former WWI zeppelin hangars - is the country's beating culinary heart. Rye bread, smoked sprats, grey peas with bacon (national dish), pīrāgi pastries, and Black Balsam herbal liqueur define the table.
