Never heard of llymru before, had to look it up. Learnt something today.
Welsh lamb from the salt marshes is the best lamb in the UK, no contest.
Bara brith my nan's recipe is the best in the world, fight me lol
No faggots and peas? Classic Valleys food!
Penclawdd cockles at Swansea market, a proper day out
Glamorgan sausages are great, my veggie friends always ask me to make them
Welsh cakes warm off the bakestone with a cup of tea. Nothing better.
Laverbread with cockles and bacon for breakfast, if you know you know
Leeks on a food list? It's a vegetable, not a dish, come on
It's the national emblem mate, of course it's on there
Teisen lap is basically my childhood
As an English person who moved to Cardiff: the Welsh cakes converted me
Caerphilly cheese so underrated outside Wales
Good list, lovely to see bara ceirch on there
Cawl should be number one, it's literally the national dish. Rarebit is basically posh cheese on toast.
Posh cheese on toast is the whole point though! Made properly with ale and mustard it's unbeatable
