Kibinai

Kibinai are traditional pastries filled with mutton and onion, associated with the Karaite ethnic minority of Lithuania and often compared to Cornish pasties in English-language travel writing. They originated in Crimea and were brought to Lithuania by Grand Duke Vytautas the Great, who invited Tatar and Karaite families to settle as guards in gratitude for their help against the Golden Horde; the pastry remains closely associated with the city of Trakai. Karaites in Melitopol, Ukraine also prepare the pastry, calling it et ayaklak, and Ukraine inscribed the tradition of preparing these meat pies on its National Register of intangible cultural heritage in 2018.
