  7. cuisine Traditional Welsh dishes include: • laverbread (made from Porphyraumbilicalis, an edible seaweed); • bara brith (fruit bread); cawl (a lamb stew); • cawlcennin (leek soup); and Welsh cakes. Cockles are sometimes served as a traditional breakfast with bacon and laverbread. Although Wales has its own traditional food and has absorbed much of the cuisine of England, Welsh diets now owe more to the countries of India, China and the United States. Chicken tikka masala is the country's favourite dish while hamburgers and Chinese food outsell fish and chips as takeaways. Welsh cakes Bara brith laverbread Cawl
