Other Aspects of Welsh Life
 
Rugby is the sport most avidly followed, particularly in South Wales. Dylan Thomas is Wales' best-known writer, though for notoriety as much as for his literary achievements. The Welsh-language programme Pobol Y Cwm is the UK's longest running BBC television soap.

There are also several traditional types of food. Laverbread is a traditional delicacy made from seaweed. Welsh cakes are sweet scone-like snacks made from flour, butter, eggs, sugar and currants. And bara brith is a traditional Welsh fruitcake.

If you're feeling particularly daring, you could try eating with a Welsh lovespoon. These have their roots in the 17th century, when men were unable to read or write, and instead carved intricate spoons as tokens of love and affection. They're still given and cherished today.
