In decades gone by, food in the United Kingdom was seen as dull and uninspiring by chefs and food connoisseurs abroad; this was mostly due to the food shortages during and after World War II. Things have certainly changed now though as there is an abundance of stunning regional produce which is used to create wonderful dishes; some with centuries of history attached and all which form part of the diversity of contemporary cuisine of the UK.
When visiting the hills and valleys of the beautiful country of Wales, there’s as much local food to try as there is history and scenery to discover.
Fresh produce abounds in this country of rugged coastlines, famous mountainous natural parks and centuries old celtic culture. Step across the border from England and you’ll find lovingly cooked dishes where delicious lamb is a central delicacy on many tables, hearty soups will fill you up on a damp day and if you visit the coastline you’ll be able to choose from such luxuries as monkfish.
