The welsh

Welsh cuisine is a culinary tradition that has developed in Wales. The importance of national cuisine underlines the fact that the emblem of Wales is the narcissist. This flower appeared here back in the time of the Roman Empire and it was used initially not for decorative purposes, but just in food. It was served for dessert combined with green figs.

Yet another symbol of Wales is known - leeks. According to legend, the warriors certainly inserted leeks into their buttonholes before the battle. It was thought to bring victory and luck. Currently, leeks are necessarily part of the Welsh diet, but daffodils are now used exclusively to decorate the table. For example, on the national holiday of St. David, which is celebrated on March
1.

The Romans had a major impact on recipes for Welsh cuisine. It was thanks to them that such a variety of various seasonings and spices appeared in these places. For example, you can call coriander, fennel, washing, tansy, mustard and thyme. All these spices were used primarily for the preparation of freshly caught fish, which are found in great abundance off the coast of Wales. But it's not just the fish that have been and are popular. All the gifts of the sea, such as shrimp, scallops, oysters and shellfish, are widely used in Welsh cuisine.

Annals from the 12th century state that the ancient Welsh preferred oats, milk and dairy products. Oats was the most common cereal in Wales. It was prepared in a wide variety of versions, but invariably combined with cheese, cream, butter and buttermilk. Numerous farms supplied dairy products to the Welsh, so it is difficult to imagine Welsh cuisine without dairy products.

Welsh cuisine inherited its solid foundation from the Celts. Each Celtic dwelling was certainly equipped with an open hearth, in which food was prepared. The national dish was considered "cawl" - a goulash soup made from meat with root vegetables, herbs and, as a rule, oats, which gave the dish a density. Of all meats, Welsh people prefer lamb, although pork and beef dishes are also extremely common.

Recipes for Welsh cuisine abound in all sorts of flatbreads and fritters, which are sure to be served during every meal. You'd think a diet of only goulash and tortillas was very boring and monotonous, but the Welsh found a way to diversify their table. They did this with fish, dairy, fruits and berries. Unfortunately, their season is not good, but here too the cunning Welsh found a way out. They harvested fruits, berries and vegetables for future use, so the house of any self-respecting Welshman is always full of jam, pickles and marinades.

Welsh have consistently celebrated harvest-related festivals widely. Therefore, Welsh recipes in a huge variety contain names such as crop cake and crop soup, mowing cakes and more.

Welsh cuisine is the cuisine of a very interesting and distinctive people, sacred to their individuality and their culinary traditions, which are an integral part of history and culture.
