Greetings Davra,

We also eat seaweed in Wales, but don't consider it "Famine Food".  It's 
traditional for us.  It's chopped up like spinach, sprinkled in Oatmeal, and 
then fried with bacon for breakfast.  We call it "Laver Bread" or "Bara Law" 
in Welsh.  It tastes like sea salt.  Maybe the Irish had to go back to eating 
it at the time of the famine?

Elysant
Who's been off the Cooks list for a little while as my E-mails were being 
bounced after I switched Internet companies a few weeks ago.  Merry Christmas 
everybody!
