Another famous Welsh food is Welsh cakes (or pice ar y maen). They’re small, sweet, round pastries and are quite frankly iconic in Wales. Traditionally made with currants or raisins, you might also find modern versions with chocolate chips or jam.
5. Laverbread
Laverbread is a little bit like Marmite in the sense that you’re either a lover or a hater. This unique Welsh delicacy truly showcases the flavours of the country's coastline. It is harvested seaweed that’s boiled and pureed to create a thick, dark green paste. It’s often fried and served with bacon, cockles, or eggs as part of a traditional Welsh breakfast.
6. Welsh Rarebit: A Savory Welsh Classic
This is a savoury Welsh classic food. It’s sometimes nicknamed the Welsh version of cheese on toast. It’s made with a mixture of grated cheese, mustard, butter and ale/beer. The toppings are then spread on toast and grilled to perfection.
