Incredible A Common Food Served During The Time Was Welsh Rabbit Ideas. Cawl is a traditional welsh soup or stew that usually consists of lamb or beef, bacon, leeks, cabbages, swede, and potatoes. The first ever recorded mention of the dish was in 1725, in john byron’s literary remains:
Welsh crempog (or ‘ffroes’) are the welsh version of pancakes and traditionally eaten on (shock!) shrove tuesday. Also known as “the poor man’s sausage”, the one from glamorgan, in the industrial south, replaces the meat with cheese and leeks and the casing with breadcrumbs. Welsh folk rarely ate rabbit due to the cost and as land owners would not allow rabbit hunting, so the term is more likely a slur on the welsh.
