My family came from Vilnius which, best as I can tell has been part of Poland, Sweden, Russia, and Lithuania over the past thousand years or so.

I visited Vilnius several times 25-30 years ago. My wife used to have many family members over there. Beautiful old European City. There were many good places to eat. In one of them we were offered smoked pig's ears. We had a bite, but this was it. felt like cartridge. If you will have a chance, you should visit. A lot of history there. Beautiful duke's castle couple hours away in Trakai.

I've heard my grandfather mention Borscht soup before, but I never had a chance to try it. :)

There are few kind of Borscht, also it varies what region of east/central of Europe it come from. One flavor - cold vegetarian, you can find in kosher section of most supermarkets. My wife loves to eat it during summers, when it is hot. She chops hard boiled egg and cucumber and adds to the content of the jar.

I made a nice bone broth with grass fed cow parts yesterday, and removed Kim Chi from the crock this afternoon. My family and I really enjoy eating this way. The fermented garlic in the Kim Chi is really like medicine.
