Potato with food!

Now I am gratefully on firm ground again. I sweat out the last of the sad atmosphere in the sauna just before we arrive in Riga after almost 17 hours at sea. Sun is shining and I'm on my way to find a hostel called "the tiger". The ad says that they have, lockers, Internet and beds from 10€ per night, which is just what I need right now.

On my way to the hostel i find a really good cafe in an old apartment building that looks so worn down that I almost think it's abandoned. On the outside there are broken windows and iron bars visible through the concrete but inside in the cafe, there is a warm and very modern lounge with good music and a pleasant atmosphere. The menu is totally vegetarian and naturally in Latvian so I just order what ever the person in front of me is having.

-Potato with food. Says the girl behind the counter when I ask her what the dish is called. Yes I can see that I say but what is it called? and she looks at me as if I had said something terrible and repeats -Potato with food! I realize that this conversation isn't going to make either of us any wiser so I sit down, shut up and enjoy my Potato with food, and it is absolutely fantastic. After the horrible food on the ferry, Potato with food tastes exactly like heaven with bliss.
