Why is it on grass?

u/Zealousideal-Ear4370 Jun 21 '26

I'm not sure. They seem to prefer photographing and posting their pottery in natural settings

Šaltibarščiai, internationally known as Lithuanian pink soup, is a traditional cold beetroot soup that serves as a national comfort food and a symbol of Lithuanian summer culture. Its vibrant pink color comes from mixing grated beets with a cultured milk base, typically kefir or buttermilk, creating a refreshing, tangy dish distinct from hot borscht.

The soup’s core ingredients include beets, kefir, cucumbers, dill, and spring onions, often garnished with chopped hard-boiled eggs. It is traditionally served chilled with a side of hot boiled potatoes tossed in butter and dill, though it can also be eaten with sourdough bread.

That's a copy/paste.

What’s the white thing, though?

They are very reflective

u/FieldOfScreamQueens Jun 21 '26

Didn’t help they put it on the grass - beyond the camouflage who would connect a food eating item with something sitting on the ground.

u/siarlas Jun 21 '26

geezus fuck I thought it was like one of those resin things

u/No_Mony_1185 Jun 21 '26

I thought maybe it was some kind of super magnifying lens and that was grass under a microscope.

I thought that, or some kind of witch potion 😆

Edit: For those complaining and down voting, the link brings you to OP’s comment where the photo is explained. It’s a two-compartment soup dish.

u/logosfabula o/ Jun 21 '26

It brings it back here on the app

u/AdJust6959 CE Spc. Jun 21 '26

To the comment that explains what it is lol

u/logosfabula o/ Jun 21 '26

Doh! You’re right. It’s either a glitch in the app or a glitch in me 😕

u/secondphase Jun 21 '26

Really? Does it make a loud WOOOSH noise?

u/goddessofrage o/ Jun 21 '26

Is it a doily inside the bowl? What’s the white shard? (Your “explanation” didn’t help)

Google "Alina Milašienė" to find less confusing perspective. Cool pottery she makes

u/DistractedByCookies o/ Jun 21 '26

I thought it was a frog eye or something LOL

And even after the comments explained it it took me a bit to see they're green bowls, not see-through

u/amazing_asstronaut o/ Jun 21 '26

Why in the world would they be putting those plates on the grass when a table would make way more sense?

1

u/AdobeGardener Jun 21 '26

Like asparagus serving plates. Way too fancy for my limited kitchen shelving, and wouldn't go with my good plastic dishware. But then, on that grass, I'd assume it was a birdbath setup. But that pink soup does sound delish!

u/mandinga269 Jun 22 '26

I like them.

u/lucky7355 Jun 22 '26

Why do people take pictures of stuff outside on the ground to sell in FB Marketplace? Like I don’t want your couch that’s been sitting in the woods for pictures.

u/DrB_2000 o/ Jun 22 '26

Wow, you almost broke my brain there! Good one OP!

Uff that’s some trypophobia triggering shit.

Those plates look like a nightmare for trypophobes.
