My comfort food is as Latvian as it gets — gray peas with bacon and onions.
Nothing fancy, nothing trendy. Just honest food that warms you from the inside.
Gray peas with bacon and onions don’t try to impress. They simply are. And somehow, that’s exactly what I need.
And gray peas are special, read more here:
When the days are dark and cold, this is what feels right. The smell alone already feels like home. It reminds me that comfort doesn’t have to be complicated — sometimes it’s just a warm plate, familiar flavors, and the feeling of being grounded.

I don’t think we have the Latvian grey peas in my country, we do however have a pea that looks much like it and is called ‘grauwe erwten’, wich means, well, grey peas. 🙂 I love them, with bacon and onions, yes, and with some sirup on top. Not everybody agrees with the syrup, I know, but that is how my mother taught me to eat it and mom’s will is law. 🙂
