National Laverbread Day

Today (14th April) is National Laverbread Day in Wales. There's an interesting article on the BBC's website about Kathleen Drew-Baker's research which saved the Japanese nori production. She never visited Japan, but is known there as Mother of the Sea. I've never eaten laverbread. It may be one of those things that I only try once and then never eat it again. But if I get the chance, I'll give it a go.

Enjoy sushi? You may have Welsh seaweed to thank for it.

I've eaten it and enjoyed it as part of a breakfast.

I've never heard of laverbread, but I have eaten nori. It's got a briny taste, which is reasonable. It's not very appealing visually, but I'd give it a shot.

Like most edible seaweed it's a bit brassica like although, as you say, it tastes of the sea.
