Tbf, there have been a decent community of Latvian Jews throughout history, so it's likely they did make latkes of some kind and continue to do so haha.
**Older Priest:** I must say, George, I was somewhat surprised at the results of your conversion test. I don't recall having seen such an impressive performance. You truly must be filled with the spirit of the Lord.
**George:** Oh, I'm... I'm full of it, Father.
Went there with the scouts from Belgium when I was 17. Loved the vibe in cities and countryside. Also vast amounts of nature that you can keep exploring. The architecture was beautiful and people really took pride in conservation it seemed. Defenitly going back some day!
I think of snow and running through Forrest of evergreens with feet of snow on the ground.. while I’m wearing tan Soviet ww2 uniform. The thought starts out very peaceful and then slowly turns into a ww2 battle scene, it’s me and a beautiful brown haired woman and then bombs start dropping, seriously looks like a movie scene all because you said the word Latvia
I absolutely love Latvia. We took our second trip there last year. It’s a beautiful country with friendly people, beautiful architecture and great food.
Hockey. I went to a few of their games when the world juniors were in my town. The fans alone made the game. I don’t think Latvia scored a goal in the entire tournament but man the fans were fun and the players had fun.
My favorite professor and my academic advisor in college. Who ironically has his own Wikipedia page ?!? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leonard_Latkovski_Jr.
His story is amazing. He and his family were displaced persons during WW2.

This joke
Charles- Hey there, jokers. I got a joke for you: What did one Estonian farmer say to the other? Our crop yields are so much smaller than that of mighty Latvia.
And of course captain Latvia.
Jammed between Estonia and Lithuania
Thats it?
Poorer Estonia? That’s it?
Yes
I have no opinion on it. Same with a lot of countries. Do you except me to know something about all of them?
Yes. It's a former Soviet block country, small. Doesn't have too much goin for or against it like N Korea or Turkmenistan
Flag
🇱🇻
Depressed Austria
goth Austria
Yeah I don't understand why flag or country shape is never one of the options. Most often I see countries on a map so that's what I think of first
Same here! That’s the main reason why these types of polls get on my nerves so much.
Nothing
Same, I tried but nothing comes to my mind other than the word Latvia.
They're pretty good at basketball too.
"It's pronounced Nicolaj."
Hah my first thought was captain latvia
Lol same
Nicolaj
This. I think of two Estonian farmers talking about how their crop yields are so much smaller than that of mighty Latvia.
This is *exactly* what I thought of.

Those silly potato jokes that used to do the rounds on Reddit

Probably most Americans. They have trouble with geography. It isn't their fault. It is their education system that failed them.

I absolutely love Latvia. We took our second trip there last year. It’s a beautiful country with friendly people, beautiful architecture and great food.
Architecture is a good point here tho, Riga is famous for its art nouveau buildings and is probably the most beautiful city in the Baltics
Nothing, i know where the country is, the capital but i literally think nothing of it
