Ffest y cybydd ('The Miser's Feast')
"This dish was very popular in Carmarthenshire about 150 years ago. Then it was made in a saucepan. Nowadays it can be made equally well in a casserole. Cover the bottom of the saucepan or dish with peeled potatoes and a sliced onion, with a little salt. Cover with water and bring to the boil. When the water is boiling, place on top of the potatoes and onion a few slices of bacon or a piece of ham. Replace the lid and allow to simmer till the potatoes are cooked, when most of the water will be absorbed. The miser was supposed to eat the potatoes one day, mashed up in the liquid, keeping the slices of bacon to be eaten the next day with plain boiled potatoes. No doubt with the savings made from eating this meal the miser could afford a few extra wee drams."
