Cacen Cymraeg ~ Welshcake

A Welshcake on my table yesterday

Okay fellow moshers, you won't see many sweet things in this blog because im not at all sweet toothed and can live without things like chocolate and candy. But Welshcakes are different; and this is isn't bias because im Welsh (well ok maybe a little), Welshcakes truly do rock! Very simple to make (lots or recipes online to check out) and is the perfect accompaniment to a cup of tea (preferably Glengetti), especially if like me, biscuits aren't your thing. And do be fooled by the size of a Welshcake, I can only manage two in one go and as you will have learnt by reading earlier parts of this blog, I have a huge appetite! Three Big Macs from the Golden Arches? No problem, can finish three in a heartbeat with three large fries. The Welshcake on the other hand, kicks my moshing ass.

Worth a trip to Wales alone

If you ever find yourself in Wales, ignore the packets of Welshcakes that are sold in supermarkets and get thyself to a traditional market (like the one in Carmarthen) where you will find much better made Welshcakes, usually made from a family recipe that has been handed down over many years. These are the best trust me.
