Actually I'm not sure how "traditional" or "Welsh" this recipe is but here it is anyway:-

Good Cookery Illustrated And Recipes Communicated by the Welsh Hermit of the Cell of St. Gover : with Various Remarks on Many Things Past and Present By Augusa Waddington Hall Llanover, James B. Herndon, A. Berkeley Milne, Herndon/Vehling Collection

The above recipe for fried frogs and boiled eels is yet another culinary masterpiece from "Good Cookery Illustrated And Recipes Communicated by the Welsh Hermit of the Cell of St. Gover" which can be found along with many other fine things on Google Books.

( Many thanks to Wild Canary for bringing this to my attention )

Okay, that is a bit more focused. Do you think this would make a good appetizer to bear meat.? Jack's Firehouse in Philly (USA) served a mean bear dish. He marinated the bear meat in CocaCola to tenderize it. (For real. I sometimes use the Coke to clean the toilet.)PS this might not be the place, but can you tell me the difference between a blog, a chat and a discussion?
