Nowadays, the Welsh Lamb is exported all over the globe, although in the past, Welsh people considered it a delicacy, that’s why it was served only on special occasions. Pork meat was regularly eaten because almost every family who was living in the rural areas of Wales had a pigsty. There were even pig slaughter festivals every year during which the butchers were performing a ritual. That’s why Bacon remained so popular in Welsh cuisine. There is even a traditional Welsh dish made of Bacon. Welsh Black Beef is also very famous and consumed in Wales, besides the Welsh Lamb. The Welsh cuisine is rich in cheeses, Lamb and Pork meat and tasteful and healthy seafood. Fish meat is also an important element of the Welsh cuisine due to the fishing industry developed on the West Coast of Wales. Unfortunately, the oysters pretty much disappeared from the Welsh shores because of the over fishing. The shellfish and the Herring are a great source of protein and phosphor in the Welsh dishes. Seaweed is also cooked with Bacon into a delicious healthy dish called “laverbread”. The traditional Welsh breakfast is made of laverbread, some eggs and Bacon. The traditional Welsh late supper contains a snack, some fish meat or some mushrooms. In the past, a special traditional equipment for cooking, named “bakestone” was used for making cakes, pancakes, breads or oatcakes. Welsh people have developed their cuisine according to their needs and the ingredients that there were available. The result was the tasty, delicious cuisine that the Welsh people can be proud of.
