Lady Ariann,

Thank you for all the work you've done in collecting and posting the Welsh 
recipes.  I've been looking forward to seeing them and will enjoy trying them 
all out. 

I see that some of the sources for your recipes are from North Wales, as well 
as some from the South - where I'm from.  It is extremely fascinating to me 
to see the variations in the traditional recipes from region to region and 
how they either have different ingredients, or are much the same in the 
different parts of the country.  
Hearing the customs that go along with them is interesting also, especially 
when it's a new "tidbit" of information. :-)

In our part of the country we also make pancakes (which we call Ffrois rather 
than Crempog) on Shrove Tuesday, (and other days too) but instead of 
spreading them with butter and cutting them up into quarters, which I know 
the books state is the "old way," we sprinkle them with lemon juice and sugar 
and roll them up to serve them. 

Incidentally, another local tradition we have is to add a teaspoon or so of 
newly fallen snow into the batter to make the pancakes lighter.  I wonder if 
there are any other recipes that use snow as an ingredient...

Thanks again for the recipes :-)

Elysant
