Another Traditional Welsh Recipe ....

WELSH RAREBIT

Rarebit Ingredients: 25g/1oz butter 375g/12oz mature Welsh farmhouse cheese 100ml/4floz ale or milk 1/2 tsp mild mustard Salt and pepper
Sandwich Ingredients: 18 medium size circles of bread 6 large, ripe tomatoes sliced thin Fresh flat leaf parsley or basil Salt and pepper

How To Make The Rarebit: Melt the butter in a pan, add the grated cheese and stir over a low heat until melted. Pour in the ale or milk, add the mustard and any other flavouring you wish. Season to taste. Bring the mixture up to near boiling point, and then remove from the heat.

To prepare the sandwich: Either- Toast of fry the bread, using a little light olive oil, and drain off any excess after cooking on some kitchen paper. Or- Assemble a three tier sandwich with the sliced tomatoes, herbs and seasoning between the layers. Place on a baking sheet, pour over a good helping of rarebit mixture and brown either under a hot grill, or in a hot oven (preheated at the highest setting).
Serve immediately.

and written by Ryan Davies ..... my favourite of their songs

PAN FO'R NOS YN HIR ......... RYAN a RONNIE

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BaN0tJKF51A


PAN FO'R NOS YN HIR

Pan fyddo’r nos yn hir a phell y wawr.
Brwydro drwy’r oriau hir heb gwsg un awr.
Ymladd a throi a throi drwy’r oriau maith.
Heb weled diwedd ddoe, na phen i’r daith.

Yna drwy’r twyllwch du gwelaf dy wyneb di,
Wrth gofio’r rhamant,
Cau mae’r amrant,
Pan fo’r nos yn hir.

Yna drwy’r twyllwch du, gwelaf dy wyneb di, Ac ofn a cilio braw diflana pan fo'r nos yn ddydd

English Literal Translation

WHEN THE NIGHT IS LONG
When the night is long and the dawn is far away
Battling through the long hours without an hour’s sleep
Fighting, tossing and turning through the great, long hours
Without seeing the close of yesterday nor the end of my journey

Then through the black darkness I see your face
I remember the romance
the eyelid closes
When the night is long.

Then through the black darkness I see your face
Fear and terror vanish away
When the night becomes day.

Another beautiful Traditional Welsh Love Song now....

AR LAN Y MOR (Mae Rhosys Cochioc) .... ELIN FFLUR

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aMrWnmLDhNM


WELSH
Ar lan y môr mae rhosys cochion
Ar lan y môr mae lilis gwynion
Ar lan y môr mae 'nghariad innau
Yn cysgu'r nos a chodi'r bore.

Ar lan y môr mae carreg wastad
Lle bûm yn siarad gair â'm cariad
O amgylch hon fe dyf y lili
Ac ambell gangen o rosmari.

Ar lan y môr mae cerrig gleision
Ar lan y môr mae blodau'r meibion
Ar lan y môr mae pob rinweddau
Ar lan y môr mae nghariad innau.

Llawn yw'r môr o swnd a chegryn
Llawn yw'r wy o wyn a melyn
Llawn yw'r coed o ddail a blode
Llawn o gariad merch wyf inne.

Mor hardd yw'r haul yn codi'r bore
Mor hardd yw'r enfys aml ei liwie
Mor hardd yw natur ym Mehefin
Ond harddach fyth yw wyneb Elin


ENGLISH
Beside the sea red roses growing
Beside the sea white lilies showing
Beside the sea their beauty telling
My true love sleeps within her dwelling

Beside the sea the stones lie scattered
Where tender words in love were uttered
While all around there grew the lily
And sweetest branches of rosemary

Beside the sea blue pebbles lying
Beside the sea gold flowers glowing
Beside the sea are all things fairest
Beside the sea is found my dearest

Full the sea of sand and billows
Full the egg of whites and yellows
Full the woods of leaf and flower
Full my heart of love for ever.

Fair the sun at new day’s dawning
Fair the rainbow’s colours shining
Fair the summer, fair as heaven
Fairer yet the face of Elin

:-D :-D :-D :-D
