Bara Lawr or Lava Bread, cockles & bacon
The lava bread is usually sold in cans, but on rare occasions my granny would stink the whole street out by making it from scratch! As I remember that involves washing the seaweed more times than fresh spinach, preferably in running water, boiling it for ages, changing the water & reboiling it for ages, then pressing it in a sieve weighted down with anything that came to hand (usually one of grandad's bowling balls). She then rolled it in beaten egg & milk and dipped it in fine oatmeal and fried it with fresh cockles & thick slices of bacon
These days tho' I usually have marmite on toast

I forgot to try Bara Lawr while in Wales just a week ago! I did have Welsh Cakes, though can't remember what the Welsh name is. Another excuse to go back But I think I'd have to pass on the bacon bit since I don't do meats.
