St. David’s Day under Lockdown 3.0 doesn’t feel that bad. The sun is shining, we have the Triple Crown, and eyes on a Grand Slam. Time to celebrate our heritage and enjoy a bowl of Cawl.
Translated as soup, there is a definite north-south divide when Cawl is on the menu. In the north it is any soup but us southerners talk of a watery meat & chunky vegetable broth made from, traditionally, mutton. Add leeks and you have Cawl Cennen.
This is my SYN free, foolproof Cawl; Mam’s was the best, and that is usually echoed at every table from St.Davids City to Magor. Yes, the one we remember from childhood.
