Visited a friend in Swansea last year and tried laverbread mixed with oats and pan-dried, and it was delicious!

Was it a sweet or savory dish? Seaweed just seems so umami to me but could imagine it being sweetened

I meant to say “pan-fried”, can’t correct it now.

It was savoury, not sweet, great for breakfast with bacon etc.

My wife puts sugar kelp in soups over here in Alaska.

RE: the article -- Cool forensic science!

I also really enjoy most seaweeds I've tried. Great food generally. I'll have to see if we can get something of laverbread locally.

In Nova Scotia dulce a type of seaweed is common you can even buy it in grocery stores. I don't think it's as popular as it was many years go.

I think one of the reasons for people not liking it is western diets tend not to like rubbery textures in food.

I’d say it’s pretty commonly eaten in a lot of Wales. You can get it in Tescos in Talbot Green!
