Welsh Sheep and Lamb Foodways

Specialised

Wales has several times more sheep than people, because most of its land is upland that will graze and not plough. WELSH LAMB holds a protected designation; the mountain breeds — Welsh Mountain, Beulah, Badger Face, Llanwenog — are small, hardy and hefted to their ground. Salt-marsh lamb from the Gower and the Dyfi. ⚠ MUTTON MATTERED MORE THAN LAMB historically, because a sheep was kept for wool and milk first and eaten when it stopped being useful — which is what cawl was built around.
