Welsh meal wanted!
Is there anyone Welsh around? Or someone who isn't but can recommend a Welsh meal?
I'm teaching an English class with 13 year old teens. After every unit, we go to the kitchen and cook a meal that comes from the area the unit was about. We only started this "tradition" after the last unit when I became their new teacher, and finding something was easy because there was the recipe of a Scottish dessert in their exercise book.
Now I'm not a cooking teacher, and the teens aren't too mighty. So we would need something that's easy to cook (or fry or bake or arrange) but also easy to like. 
Please, does someone have an idea? The class is really heart-warming, by the way: One of the girl's family name is Reichenbach, and another girl recognised (and liked) the Sherlock matchstick man I painted on the board to explain "this" and "that". They really deserve your help!

OMG, she's called Reichenbach? I hope she's a Sherlock fan.

Oh, what a shame. 
I hope you'll find some Welsh recipes. I'll go on reading for a bit.

Re: Welsh meal wanted!
Welsh cakes seem to be exactly what I've been looking for. 
Now I only need to find out it there is self-raining flour available in Germany...
I'll try them myself at the weekend and tell you about it. Thank you!!

Re: Welsh meal wanted!
Don't worry, it should be possible to use some baking powder instead

Re: Welsh meal wanted!
I had the problem before and it works with baking powder. You'll just have to look for the ratio.

Re: Welsh meal wanted!
Yes, I'll just go with baking powder and ordinary flour.
Results will be documented and posted on Sunday!

Yes. Baking powder is the way to go (that's what they put in self-raising flour to make it...self-raise). The husband of a friend of mine is Welsh and she would always come in with Welsh Cakes on St. David's Day for the children at Pre-school and the staff to share.

Re: Welsh meal wanted!
So, finally it's done! We went to the kitchen this week and made Welsh cakes. They were fantasitc, even though we had to use apples or chocolate instead of raisins. Basically because I've been the only one around who likes raisins.
Pictures will follow, promised!
The next unit deals with the Blackpool Illuminations, so I guess we'll give fish and chips a try!

Re: Welsh meal wanted!
Harry Ramsden's fish and chips are the most famous in the UK.
