When in we were in Cardiff, we had croissants, we had fish and chips, we had Italian wine and icecream (not together). Riverside, the area around our hostel, seemed to have its fair share of Asian restaurants. But we also wanted to try something local.
The most obvious choice was perhaps Brains. The word Brains seems to appear quite regularly on the streets of Cardiff, on the pubs, on towers and tanks, on the shirts of their sports teams. Brains is a beer. While it was vaguely amusing for a short while to say zombie-style “Need brains, neeeeeeed brains” every time we passed by a pub, I’m not actually much of a beer fan. So I left sampling the Brains to my husband, who said it was rather bitter and definitely not one I’d enjoy.
I enjoyed the Welsh Cakes though. Welsh Cakes are traditional sweet snacks, with an appearance and texture similar to flattened scones. These small, circular cakes were covered in sugar and filled with currents and cost less than a pound each. In Cardiff Bay, we peered into the window of a shop that specialised in Welsh Cakes, and saw them being fried and flipped like pikelets on a large flat pan.
We had our cawl, at Castle Coch. We’d already had lunch, but we wanted to try it, so asked for a single portion (£4.50). Noticing there was two of us, the kitchen staff served two generous and piping hot portions, accompanied by bread and some Welsh cheeses for us to sample. Cawl is generally a stew/soup dish containing meat and vegetables. Ours had chunks of lamb, potatoes, carrots and such, and was the perfect filler before the afternoon's bike ride back to Cardiff.
