Livonian cuisine
Livonian cuisine (in Livonian livõd kek) consists of the cuisine of Livonia and the Livonians, and is characterized by the rich use of locally available foods: Livonians are a coastal people – since they acquire the bulk of their food from the sea, Livonian families have historically eaten a great deal of fish, including European flounder (Livonian: liestād), herring (ēriņ), salted herring, and cod (tūrska). In recent years, various projects have been launched to publicise Livonian cuisine (and culture).
