Ian, I really hope that whoever had to clean up after a recipe like that was given hazard pay! That said, from what I remember of my rugby-playing friends in college, that is totally something they would have tried. And would then have tried to force-feed to anyone who got within arm's reach! :-O

OMG, Ian! That sounds scary, lol!

The recipe below sounds absolutely ghastly....a culinary catastrophe and a gastronomic nightmare . I shall be trying it on Saturday morning.

This dish is only for stunt men of the kitchen. It's not a traditional Welsh dish by any stretch of the imagination but a number of us swore by it during our rugby playing days. It was devised to cure a hangover and to give much needed nourishment after a night on the tiles.

Ingredients:

One flagon of Strongbow ( Any cider will do ).
Two tins of baked beans.
One Twin loaf.
Tobasco sauce.

Method :

First boil the beans in the Bow until it has reduced to a sludge.
Add a good dose of Tobasco to taste.
Scoop out the soft bread out of the two halves of the twin loaf which will leave two containers of crust.
Empty the sludge into the hollow of the crust.
Devour at leisure.
Use the remains of the removed bread to soak up any spillages ( There will be spillages )
Retire to bed for up to six hours or as the moment demands.
When you wake ( asuming you wake of course ) spend two hours reading a newspaper in the Ty Bach.
You will be cured.

My apologies! I've never had the good stuff, then, only mass overcooked and dry, eeew! But I'd rather eat that any day than lutefisk!

Well, being part Irish as well as Welsh (among other things!), I do have to stick up for that iconic Irish-American dish - corned beef. When it's done right, it's delish. However, when it's done in mass quantities for St. Paddy's, it can be rather nasty. Depends on where you go.

And if your beer is green, then you're doing something wrong! ;)

Having said that, I'm glad this group is here, since I'm always looking for new recipes!

We did a St David's Day dinner menu and recipes last March on americymru.com and I just came up with those out of my head because Ceri said there wasn't anything special to do on that day and I wanted something. You, know like here everyone eats corned beef and cabbage and drinks green beer for St Patricks and I wanted something for St David's Day, but better than f'ing corned beef!

Ahh yes...."Chicken Vindaloo"...the national dish!

Yes, Ceri, but you can post your recipe for "Takeout Vindaloo".

You beat me to this!!! Thanks, though, I wanted a cooking group!

My family made potatoes boiled with white cabbage and leeks and mashed together in a high mound, then push a stick of butter down the middle to make a well that melts into it. Sometimes we'd add steamed clams, which I hated.
