The crawl for cawl

THE traditional Welsh dish of cawl is being promoted by Discover Carmarthenshire’s latest tourism campaign, launching in time for St David’s Day – March 1. 

The Cawl Crawl is a themed food trail around the county showcasing the very best places for visitors to sample the stew-like dish. 

From artisan delis in market towns to thatched inns dating back to the 14th century, the trail features 16 eateries in Carmarthenshire, where it’s believed the dish was created.

Margaret Rees at welshcookeryschool.co.uk explains: ‘Cawl was traditionally made to a recipe using mutton or lamb from the Black Mountains, and is full of vegetable goodness. Designed as a cheap and warming meal for the winter months, the dish showcases slow food at its best.’

Huw Parsons, Marketing and Tourism manager at Carmarthenshire County Council adds: ‘We don’t expect visitors to go to each of our cawl locations, but we thought it was a fun way of showcasing the diversity of the county’s very best restaurants, pubs, and cafes, as well as helping to revive one of Wales’ oldest dishes.’
