Wales has a rich culinary tradition rooted in agriculture that dates back to the ancient Celts, emphasizing simple and hearty dishes for laborers. Notable Welsh foods include Welsh rarebit, cawl (a lamb and vegetable soup), and welshcakes, with specific local delicacies like cockles and laver bread. As part of a school project, pupils at Bishop Vaughan created recipe cards, culminating in a recipe book featuring popular Welsh recipes.

2. Wales has a strong tradition of living off the land
that stretches back as far as the ancient Celts. It
was a tradition that was to survive well into the
20th century in parts of rural Wales. The food was
simple but wholesome and was designed to
satisfy the hearty appetites of hard working farm
labourers, coal miners, quarry workers and
fishermen.
