 Whilst there are many dishes that can be considered Welsh due to their ingredients, there are some which are quintessentially Welsh.Dishes such as cawl, Welsh rarebit, laverbread, Welsh cakes, bara brith (literally "fruit bread") or the Glamorgan sausage have all been regarded as symbols of Welsh food.Cawl, pronounced in a similar way to the English word "cowl", can be regarded as Wales' national dish.
