Posh ladies who lunch should dine on Welsh laverbread - says AM
LADIES who lunch should dine on Welsh laverbread, a Tory AM said today.
David Melding asked the minister responsible for food promotion what was being done to make the traditional Welsh delicacy, made from seaweed, available in exclusive west London shops.

laverbread
Harrods, Fortnum and Mason, and Partridges of Sloane Square sold laverbread from the west coast of Scotland, Mr Melding told Rural Affairs Minister Elin Jones at question time in the Senedd.
To the mirth of other AMs, he said: "Do you agree with me that posh ladies who lunch ought to be eating Welsh laverbread?"
Miss Jones said Assembly Government support for businesses had been concentrating on promoting and developing their produce within Wales.
"The next step is to take it to Harrods, of course," she said.
She added: "Not knowing many posh ladies who lunch, I would say Welsh laverbread is the best laverbread in the world and I would want to see opportunities for Welsh laverbread to be sold in Wales and outside of Wales."

“We don't want your laverbread. No-one here would eat that filth. Most people in Wales wouldn't even eat it.”
