Since Scotland soon maybe blowing up Hadrian's wall, severing itself from England so it can float off into the north sea the phrase United Kingdom is likely to be made redundant, and "Britain"wont be much better off in terms of describing which particular combination of different nations we now belong to.

What do you think we should be called from now on then?

I can believe its not Britain?
East Wales?
Your Mum?

Welsh lamb is easily the best I have ever tasted, shits all over kiwi stuff!

Agreed.

As an ex-farmer of Welsh lamb, I wish more people actually gave a shit about where their meat comes from!

Whilst I am interested in the origin of my food (I don't much like if it has been kicked around on the floor for instance), I'm far more interested in where its headed (My stomach :0)

I don't normally buy much lamb because it is expensive but on the occasions that I do I would always buy welsh lamb as it tastes better. Unfortunately welsh lamb doesn't quite have the branding of say "Scotch Beef" or "Aberdeen Scotch Beef" where restaurants all over the world will pay extra to import it, which is a shame as there is no taste comparison at all to any other lamb I've come across.

Yeah, I do, however, it's hard to find Welsh lamb in London. Most butchers have English, which is a shame.

Honestly, I can taste it now! Mmmmmmmmmmmm! ;-)

My nan is welsh she used to send up shoulders and legs from local butchers but she has selfishly gone blind now and had to be re-located to west London so I haven't had any lamb or welsh cakes for years. Although I noticed you can buy welsh cakes in Waitrose now!

Fucking liberty!

Both some of mine and Dave's family are Welsh and we've NEVER been offered Welsh cakes or Welsh lamb for that matter hmpf.

That is the only benefit I have ever had for being part welsh apart from a few boxes of shrooms.

It doesn't quite outweigh the social stigma, inbred genes, pale skin, and having to make a 5 hour trip to West Wales every summer for the last 26 years or so.

My two brothers are welsh and I lived there for 6 years. Welsh lamb is definitely the best.

I get my chicken, lamb and steaks delivered from a farm in the sticks every week. Beats anything you buy in a supermarket and the tsaste is so much different.

It's the taste of the eggs that is really almost scary. My uncle has chickens and ducks that lay and he sends me boxes of their eggs, they taste and even look completely different to super market free range eggs. The yolks are orange and the taste is so much richer it's like eating a different food.

Yeah I get 30 delivered every week from the same place which are picked the morning of delivery. Silky.

I don't think it's necessarily a Welsh thing. Just living in the countryside with access to a decent local butcher is markedly different to living in London. There just aren't decent butchers here unless you pay an absolute fucking fortune.

I'd love some farmers duck eggs. :(

Its the same in the countryside mate.

What you say is true, but if you were ever swanning around London and bumped into an American on holiday over here and had a Welsh accent and told them you were British they'd be a bit confused as they seem to think that Britain is simply the English, London and cups of tea and all that jazz. I wonder if Europe thinks of us in the same manner? Basically in stereotype.

Sorry, one more time, who was stereotyping in that statement?
