The Savoyards, the Ch'tis and the Welsh!

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.

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.

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!
