Culture of England The same period saw a similar growth in a wide range of other cuisines (albeit not always served authentically), including dishes such as Italian spaghetti bolognese, lasagne and pizza, Greek moussaka, feta and taramasalata, Turkish doner and shish kebabs, Middle Eastern hummus, Chinese stir fry, Thai Green curry, and Tex-Mex Chilli con carne, tacos and guacamole. Light meals and snacks include green salads served with salad cream, cauliflower cheese, macaroni cheese, Welsh rarebit, fishcakes, baked potatoes, cheese on toast, beans on toast, mushrooms on toast, spare ribs, Cornish pasties, Scotch eggs, sausage rolls, pork pies, gala pie and bacon sandwiches.
Welsh cuisine such as cawl, and traditions grew around their use. One tradition, which was still in place at the start of World War II, was that villagers could plant an row of potatoes in a neighbouring farmer's field for each labourer the household could provide at the time of harvest. Whilst there are a large number of dishes that can be considered Welsh due to their ingredients, there are some which are quintessentially Welsh. Dishes such as cawl, Welsh rarebit, laverbread, Welsh cakes, bara brith (literally "speckled bread") or the Glamorgan sausage have all been regarded as symbols of Welsh food.
