  1. Kugelis IS a marvelous dish...both my Grandmothers were from Kaunas & often made<br/>this exact dish. Note of Importance: use butcher fresh bacon & not the usual grocery<br/>store, plastic wrapped one. A solid piece of bacon that you cut yourself will he tastier,<br/>also no chemicals like nitrates in the pork.<br/>IndyRob's recipe is exactly as served in Lithuania - wonderful!
