FruitPudding Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 I do miss the food "back in the valleys" and wonder if anyone has found any Welsh food around? I cook a little at home, but if were traveling, I would love to find some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lostinisaan Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Why not Wels for people of Wales? Plenty of them around. You might consider and try some local food. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GinBoy2 Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Dare I ask what is considered Welsh cuisine? Although I'm an American I've spent a good deal of time in the UK, and while I have to say most of what I experienced was truly awful, there were some exceptions. I'd be interested in what might be something different PS; as a Mexican American my Mother hated me for developing a curious liking for the sugar laden UK version of Heinz Baked Beans. She never forgave me before she died Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyG Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Cheese on toast and anything with leeks in it. I'm totally under-whelmed. Well I'm with you on this one...cheese on toast is a cuisine??? Welsh rarebit/rabbit is not cheese on toast. It's a lovingly made blend of grated cheese, butter, Worcestershire sauce, mustard powder, flour, beer (preferably Brains bitter, except on Sundays in "dry" areas and by strict church goers when milk is used) and seasoning. Some versions add an egg, too. All is gently heated together before being spread lavishly on a piece of bread toasted on one side before being grilled.

KarenBravo Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Right......so we have the savoury, what about a starter, main course and sweet? Leek and potato soup, braised lamb with leek and maybe stewed apples with a leek sauce? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarenBravo Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Not just cheese on toast, but tarted up cheese on toast. There's a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did a quick internet search, soda bread seems at least somewhat more unique It's nothing like English cheese on toast which is rubbery and bland. It's unique. Anyway, other dishes from my childhood: Sewin (sea trout) wrapped in salty Welsh bacon. Bara Lawr (long boiled seaweed pulp) mixed with oatmeal and fried in bacon fat, usually eaten for breakfast. Laverbread can also be made into a sauce to serve with meat. Cawl (a meat and vegetable stew, usually made with lamb. Traditionally the meat was eaten separately from the broth and vegetables, but now they're usually eaten together). Selsig Morgannwg (a cheese sausage, fried) Bara brith (a slightly sweet bread with dried fruit) Picau ar y maen (slightly sweet "cakes" with raisins cooked on a bakestone) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
