뜻
Expressing a food preference.
문화적 배경
Latvians are very proud of their 'Rūjienas saldējums' and 'Ekselence' brands. Offering ice cream to guests is a common sign of hospitality. In the Baltics, seasonal flavors like sea buckthorn (smiltsērkšķi) or rye bread (rupjmaize) are popular ice cream varieties. When someone cooks for you, it is polite to say 'Man ļoti garšo' even if you only moderately like it, to show appreciation for the effort. Veganism is growing in Riga; you will often see 'vegānisks saldējums' on menus, and the phrase 'Man garšo' remains the same.
The 'Mouth' Rule
