In this episode of Adam Richman Eats Britain, airing on Food Network UK, Adam Richman explores the delights of Glamorgan, Wales, sampling the region’s eponymous sausage and other local specialties.
Richman starts his culinary journey by tasting the traditional Glamorgan sausage, a vegetarian delicacy with a history dating back to at least the 1850s. The sausage is made with a combination of cheese, usually Caerphilly, leeks, and breadcrumbs, and has become a beloved part of Welsh cuisine. Richman learns about the sausage’s origins, which may be linked to the need for meat-free alternatives during World War II, and its rise in popularity during that time.
He also indulges in Welsh rarebit, a classic Welsh dish of toasted bread topped with a savoury mixture of cheese, and enjoys the sweet and savoury flavours of Welsh cakes. In a nod to his Polish heritage, Richman savours pierogis, a type of filled dumpling popular in Poland and other parts of Eastern Europe.
The show, which premiered on March 11, 2024, on Food Network UK, has Richman travelling with a map in hand, visiting places that share their names with famous dishes or iconic ingredients. From Sandwich to Scone, Cheddar to Bakewell, he delves into the history, ingredients, and secrets of Britain’s culinary delights.
Adam Richman Eats Britain airs on Food Network at 9:00 pm on Monday, 15 April 2024.
