Why do English people take every opportunity to insult Welshness or any Welsh- Is it stupidy, fear or just plain old insecurity about their own lack of national identity- discuss

Laverbread is the cooked mash of Porphyra, a variety of north Atlantic seaweed similar to that eaten as nori in Japan. In this form it is used (with lemon) as a sauce for mutton, and also mixed with oats into an oatcake called laverbread cake, eaten fried with bacon. Older cookbooks describe laverbread as a tempura-like preparation of laver, made with oatmeal batter. It seems that the presence of "bread" in "laverbread" has caused misidentification with the oatcake; based on the publications of Welsh seafood purveyors laverbread seems, however, to be the name of the cooked laver itself.
Although laverbread cakes are now associated with Wales, they are a relic of vastly more ancient Celtic cuisine.
hope that helps. i quite like it. very good for you. i love nori too. ignore the ignorant people on here, they cant help it.

The full English breakfast has it's own ingredients!
The Irish have white pudding as oppose to black pudding!
The Welsh have larvar bread and cockles added to the breakfast!
I like the cockles myself, but do skip the larva bread!
But I know many a welsh person who loves it!
I tried it once, was edible, but did not like it myself, no taste! Some say I may have cooked to long as it only needs tossing so to speak!
