Since 2014, World Zeppelin Day has been celebrated every first Sunday of February. Its initiator is JAV resident emigrant from Lithuania Jonas Vaičiūnas. On this day, everyone is encouraged to cook and enjoy zeppelins with their families.
Zeppelins appeared in Lithuania around the turn of the XNUMXth and XNUMXth centuries, probably in Žemaitia, where they came from German Lithuania Minor. Later, zeppelins became a common dish in other parts of Lithuania as well.
Zeppelins can be made from boiled or raw, grated potatoes and meat, cottage cheese or mushroom filling.
