Meat Broth

Bala, Gwynedd

A pig's flead. Mrs May Edwards, Abercywarch, Merioneth.

On the farms the meat, potatoes and vegetables were served for the mid-day meal, but it was general custom to keep the broth for breakfast on the following day.  It was re-heated and poured over small pieces of bread or crushed oatcake to make a dish known as brwes.

Parc, Bala, Merioneth.
