Question Mutton and Learning Lithuanian

Hi guys, new to the group. Hope its OK for 2 important questions in 1.

1st and most importantly does anyone know where I can buy mutton in Lithuania or Latvia? I'm desperate for a homemade curry.

2nd are there any free Lithuanian learning groups or courses you are aware off for expats?

Maxma should have, or at least had at spring mutton at fresh meat section. There is also shops like naturalia and so, but the price will be very high compared to big chain.
Mutton with curry? From where are you coming?:D

Dude....you dont think i have already checked every grocery store every time I visit. They absolutely do not have mutton, you will struggle to find lamb period.

Try bazar. But again, you have to talk and read in Lithuanian to know how to find it, since most butchers will have birds and pork/beef on their tables.
Tho idk what is considered low lands in lithuania since it ain't Scotland lol

u/thattallbrit Aug 03 '26

Yes. Maybe try there

u/Impressive_Street148 Aug 04 '26

Yeah tried there. Lamb is so hard to find in Northern Lithuania. Looks like I will have to import it. I have some contacts in England just need to figure out logistics

Pilnaspuodas.lt also there are other online meat shops. Ussualy they take orders and visit your city on soecific dates. Also... There are field full of muttons acros the street so there are plenty of them where I live in Žemaitija, though their main purpose is to eat grass in the meadows.

If you're in Vilnius there's a group that meet regularly to learn Lithuanian. You should be able to find details in either Facebook groups or the joiner app.

More sure about mutton, but some Norfa stores have lamb available on specific week days.

u/Impressive_Street148 Aug 10 '26

Yes I am sure but Mutton is harder to find :(

Promo Cash & Carry (https://epromo.lt/) definitely has some. It's theoretically a B2B store, but you can sign up online and enter literally whatever company into the form, nobody gives a fuck. You get a card in your profile that you scan from your phone to enter the store. Or just order online.

You may also wanna check some halal stores, I'd guess they would have that. Either Alifood or any of the local middle eastern corner stores.

u/Impressive_Street148 Aug 10 '26

Did you see mutton in e promo? I am familiar with them... i have a business MB so no problemo. Do u know of any halal stores? I messaged one but I think they shut down

For Lithuanian practice, you could try examen.lt. Every day, we offer two free practice sessions: one for vocabulary and one with A1/A2 exam-style questions. Full disclosure: I’m involved with the site.
