Design a cawl product that could be included in the Welsh food box
Welsh local
food box
Cawl is Welsh for a broth or a soup.
Like many traditional country soups it
contain what foods are in season or what
are grown locally. Traditionally cawl was made from bacon, today beef and
lamb is mainly used.
“Cystal yfed o’r cawl a bwyta’r cig” – its is as good to drink the broth as to eat the meat’ a proverb from Cattwg Ddoeth (Cattwg the Wise).
One popular food product you could
include in your Welsh Food Box is cawl. Let’s explore this food product a bit more.
What is cawl?
Why is cawl one the traditional dishes of Wales?
What are the main ingredients in cawl? • locally available ingredients
• fairly simply to prepare.
• inexpensive ingredients.
• filling and satisfying. Why is cawl not an everyday dish of Wales today?
