For those who love cheese dishes, I can recommend a book called "Welsh Cheese Recipes" by Justin Rees. This book is published by "Y Lolfa"

I logged on a few days late to try the leg o lamb casserole recipe. However, I had lamb stew in the crock pot and used almost the same ingredients called for except for the lemon. Before putting it away for the night, I think I will add a slice of lemon. Tomorrow it will be thickened and finished off with some bread. When the temperatures are frigid, it is wonderful to have hardy foods like the lamb casserole handy.

This recipe was handed down by a former Cwmparc girl - the late Mary Jane Lewis (nee Worthington) of Troedyrhiw Terrace, Treorchy.

Some say she made the best Welsh Cakes in the world.

"Pice ar y Maen"

Ingredients

1 lb plain or self raising flour - 1 tablespoon of baking powder - 4oz lard - 4oz margarine - 6oz sugar - pinch of salt - 6oz mixed currants and sultanas - half a teaspoon of mixed spice or mace - 2 eggs - a little milk if necessary.



Method

Mix the flour and baking powder with the salt. Next rub in the lard and margarine. Then add the sugar, spice, currants and sultanas.

Beat the eggs before adding them to the mixture. Stir all together until the mixture is the same consistency as short-crust pastry - you may have to add a little milk at this stage, perhaps up to about 3 tablespoons.

Sprinkle a little flour over a board - before turning the mixture out onto it - to prevent it from sticking to the board. Also remembering to rub some flour onto your rolling pin!

Gently roll out the mixture until about half an inch thick and cut into 3 inch rounds. If you don't have a cutter - just use a cup or mug.

Place one on a lightly greased griddle or bakestone and cook over a medium heat for 3-4 minutes on each side.

Lower the heat if the cake turns brown too quickly - as the inside must have time to cook thoroughly and achieve a brittle texture.

Once a satisfactory cooking temperature has been found - you can proceed to cook the remainder a few at a time.



Serve hot or cold - with butter - or sprinkle with sugar or cinnamon, jam or honey.

My Gran used to make a cake call Teisen Lap (spelling?). I remember that she used to let a pint of milk go sour then strain the milk through some muslin to get rid of the watery stuff. Then she used the "cheesey" part in a cake that had black currants in it.
Has anyone heard of this cake or have a recipe for it?

Faggots and peas? OMG - I haven't had faggots and peas in years. Do you have the recipe Steve?

We still make the pototoes, leeks and cabbage, and the stick of butter, too.
We just harvested some potatoes and the cabbage should be done soon. My neighbor grows the leeks.
also, the beans on toast are a fav with my hubby.
Usually, I don't follow recipes, just go with what I have got...I tried some of our wild caraway seeds with the cabbage once. I liked it, but it was too fancy for said hubby.

On my travels there have been a few menu translations that would raise an eyebrow or two:

Bulls balls in spit.
Quinche of the day.
A bagatelle on toasty.
Pint of the Crunch.
Lanterns with Clump.
Clowns with Caste.
Crammed with Pumps of the draly.

It makes you wonder!
