📖 The Story Behind This Dish

Tinginys means 'lazybones,' and true to its name this Lithuanian treat needs no oven: crushed biscuits are simply bound with butter, condensed milk, and cocoa and set. Made at home since Soviet times, it's a nostalgic taste and the quintessential childhood snack for Lithuanians.

🌆 Where it's eaten: At a Lithuanian kitchen table, a dark log of the sweet fresh from the fridge is sliced and served with tea.
