    Latvian pork cutlets called karbonade is made with an amazing mushroom cream sauce.  Honestly, I have made a similar dish most of my life using a can of cream of mushroom soup.  Wow, what I have been missing all these years.  If I would have known how incredibly simple this dish is to make, trust me, never a can again. This dish is very representative of Latvia. Pork is the number one meat there and they love to forage for mushrooms in their beautiful forested land.  Dairy is also extremely popular.  Put all these element together and you get one awesome dish.  Thanks Latvia!
