Jazzer Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 I wonder if they have been able to get hold of fresh laverbread for the full Welsh. I had to import it in tins this week.I do recall Lidl selling some food products last year which were called Welsh, but bore no resemblance to anything I have ever seen in Wales. I wondered at the time what the origin of the name meant in that connection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chancer Posted January 28, 2011 Author Share Posted January 28, 2011 Well if a piece of Lidl "American" sliced bread with a slice of premier prix epaule picnic, a fried egg and topped off with a Kraft cheese slice is Welsh then I'm a Welshman [;-)]I kid you not people are queuing in the street to pay €25 to be seen to be trendy and international eating a (not at all) genuine Welsh.

Jazzer Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Who on earth came up with the idea! Maybe there's an opening for the real thing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loiseau Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 There's even an annual Fete du Welsh at Le Portel Plage, near Boulogne.I found it hard to believe that "Le Welsh" was such a well-established dish in the region at first - but I have to say I have since come across it in many variations - always substantial - and however it's done, it's a welcome lunchtime snack.This version sounds fairly authentic.I have no idea what the Welsh connection with Boulogne might be though.There's probably a few French dishes adopted by us that the French would not recognise!Angela Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
