Because I'm sort of Welsh, and it's St. David's Day today.

Well, actually, Kate my wife is Welsh, but whatever.

In any event, I know how to say a few things in the Welsh tongue which is not such an easy thing to do. Although, it can come in handy when one wants to mess with the heads of Welsh children.

For instance: I once memorized a Welsh nursery rhyme, and used it often in small teahouses and pubs across North Wales. Although this feat was primarily used to get free drinks, I remember, on one particular occasion, watching the face of a child who was just mesmorized by the wierdness of a Chinese fellow from Canada, singing a Welsh nursery rhyme. As I was saying, it's fun to mess with kid's heads.

Anyway, in honor of St. David's Day (the patron saint of Wales), I offer this fine example of Welsh cuisine:

Brithyll a chig moch - Trout with Bacon

Ingredients:
Trout
Bacon

Directions:
Wrap trout in a rasher of bacon and secure with a cocktail stick. Grill under a moderate heat until the bacon is crisp on one side. Turn and cook the other side.
