Welsh+Food

Welsh cuisine consists of the different foods in Wales, England that are mainly based off of other British cuisines. Cattle are widely raised for beef and dairy. Sheep farming is also very popular but the most traditional meat of Welsh cooking is lamb. One of the most common lamb dishes is the roast lamb with fresh mint sauce. Seafood is also very common closer to the coast near fisheries where the fishing culture is vigorous. Leek is also a frequently seen Welsh food because it is the country's national vegetable.

While in Wales, some good foods to try would be potato cakes (Teisennau Tatws), Welsh rabbit (rarebit), Welsh buttermilk pancakes (Crempogau), or simply cheese. If you're thirsty, you can try spring or mineral water, various teas, or other soft drinks. Breakfast is also an important part of Welsh food. While there, you can go for the basic plate of eggs. If you're daring, you can try cockles which are small, edible saltwater clams.
