What it is
Whole pork ears, gently boiled in seasoned broth, then hot-smoked over hardwood and sliced into thin, translucent ribbons. The bite is unlike anything else in the deli case: a delicate snap of cartilage running through soft, savoury collagen, lightly perfumed with garlic, black pepper and clean wood smoke.
Across Lithuania, Latvia and the wider Slavic world, smoked pork ears are a treasured beer snack — the kind of thing grandparents pull from the fridge for unexpected guests. Rokiskio Mesine is one of the oldest meat houses in north-eastern Lithuania, and this is their workmanlike, no-frills take on the classic: fan the slices on a small plate with a splash of vinegar, a few rings of red onion, a dab of strong mustard or horseradish, and pour something cold alongside.
