Latvians are nuts about flowers and they were everywhere. Flower stalls were on every street and apparently there are even stalls that sell flowers 24 hours a day. Another unique item you will find at street stalls is amber. Latvia has large deposits and it used in a wide variety of jewelry. My personal favorite product of Latvia however is Black Balsam. Well, alone Balsam is a rather bitter tasting 90 proof rot gut. But mixed with a soda it's not bad, and it comes in a ceramic bottle that is pretty cool (I still have one in my liquor cabinet). When bottled in a cooler-like concoction known as Black Cherry Balsam, it's downright tasty.
