I have never heard of that, certainly very interesting. I guess my favourite British dishes are your standard fish & chips. I also like roast beef and Yorkshire pudding, pot pies, and haggis.
I guess each nation or culture has its share of unique - maybe even weird or nasty - dishes. I'm from English, Welsh and Scottish stock but have never eaten haggis or laverbread.
Not so sure about the often. I'd be really surprised if more than a tiny fraction of the Welsh have ever even tasted it. Perhaps @TheSirfurryanimalWales could tell us more.
@rinkydinkydoink It's probably expensive now. But when it was first made I suspect it was by the very poor who would collect the algae themselves. I lived the first half of my life in the South West of England and never knew anyone who had eaten it despite Wikipedia saying In addition to Wales, laverbread is eaten across the Bristol Channel in North Devon,.
We Bengali people like fish to be more crispy, or curried - so fish n chips isn't a favourite. Baked Beans over toast or maybe Shepherd's Pie is my top English dishes
