Traditional Welsh Breakfast

We are away in Wales on holiday. We had a few days in Aberystwyth and then headed down to Solva to stay with good friends, formerly members of the Childs Hill church. We had a brilliant time including a traditional Welsh breakfast in St David's, in The Mill Cafe, paid for by our hosts. You could argue over the ingredients of such a thing but in this part of the world the above seems about right. (We also had toast with ours). The sausage, bacon and egg are obvious ingredients. Then black pudding would get a vote across a wide range of territory (we always had it at home). The really distinctive ones are the cockles and the laverbread in oats. Cockles are small clams found on sandy beaches. The Magna Carta grants every citizen the right to collect up to eight pounds of cockles from the foreshore. Larger quantities will require a picking permit. Laverbread or bara lawr is a fine seaweed. It has nothing to do with bread but is a puree mixed with oats or put on toast. Scrumptious.
