Bara brith

Common card · No. 208016

Bara brith (Welsh: [ˈba(ː)ra briːθ]) is a traditional Welsh tea bread flavoured with tea, dried fruits and spices. It is similar to fruitcake. It has been championed as a symbol of Welsh cookery by celebrity chefs such as Bryn Williams, especially in response to a decline in popularity in recent decades. In 2007, a survey showed that 36% of teenagers in Wales had never tried it, though far fewer were unaware of it, suggesting it still had a place of cultural significance even though supermarket chain Morrisons had removed their range from shelves a year earlier. Several variations on bara brith have been made, including changing it into a chocolate, sausages and ice cream.
