Bakestones.
You ate 17 welsh cakes in one day? Over how long?
Need more context than "I have just eaten 17 welsh cakes". Size of said Welsh cakes in discussion ? Not sure I believe you have eaten 17 regular sized Welsh cakes similar to those sold in most shops.
Yes! Whilst acknowledging some people call them Welsh cakes, the bakestone is what I was brought up on (not literally) thanks to my nan. I'm glad someone else uses their proper name. 17 though is excessive.Quote:

Good luck with the cholesterol tests, lol.

Welshcakes.
Cooked on a bakestone.
I literally never heard them called Welsh cakes until I went to work in Bristol 20 years ago.
For me it was bake stones as a child ,then nationalism took over ,its all very tribal now ,lol.
""""Although stone became replaced with cast iron plate in the 19th century its name remained unchanged. In Wales, a bakestone, 'maen' in Welsh; 'gradell' in the north of the country, and 'planc', is the name for the cast iron or steel griddle used for cooking Welsh cakes, especially in South Wales.""
Always called bakestones in our house when I was a kid. Mind you a mother from Newtown thought Cardiff was a part of Ireland anyway😂😂
Never really thought about it but yea as we are in Wales, Welsh cake does seem a bit funny. Do Brazilians call nuts Brazil nuts.
And 17 is very excessive. 17 biscuits I could get but after a couple of Welsh cakes I feel like I've had enough and they are quite dry.
They are just rubbish scones

Rubbish scones? Scones are nothing. You have to put jam on them. Welsh cakes have flavour. Nutmeg and raisins. You're trippin'. Or your mam makes shit welsh cakes.
But her bakestones are gorgeous 👍Quote:

Apparently Brazil nuts are unique in that instead of the nuts being named after the country, the country was named after the nuts. (But I did get that from the Chris Evans breakfast show :shrug:)Quote:

What if you made something else on a bakestone? That could get confusing. It's like calling cakes, roast meats, pies, lasangnas etc "ovens".
Or a hot pot a hot pot.Quote:
