Welsh lamb—served with mint sauce—and salmon are famous, and there are some traditional Welsh dishes such as cawl (a soup made with vegetables, particularly leeks), bara lawr (bread made from seaweed and oatmeal), and bara brith (currant cake). However, the Welsh mainly eat a variety of foods common throughout the world. In recent years there has been an increase in health consciousness with regard to diet.
Most people eat cereal, toast and marmalade, and tea or coffee for breakfast. The midday meal is usually called dinner, sometimes lunch. The main meal, often consisting of meat or fish with vegetables, might be in the middle of the day or in the evening. On Sundays dinner is traditionally served in the middle of the day, and it often includes roasted lamb with mint sauce and vegetables. The evening meal is called supper, tea, or sometimes dinner. Tea can also refer to the traditional ritual of taking tea, cakes, and scones at around 4 pm. Table manners are similar to those in other parts of the United Kingdom.
