Barry lava buns to celebrate promotion

I was reading in an old book about CCFC that in the 1920's fans used to celebrate promotions with a lava bun festival.

Many of our older fans will remember lava buns being sold outside the club on St Swithins day, but the practise seems to have fallen out of favour during the 2nd world war 1939-1945 when so many were unavailable to attend football.

So, if you dont know about this old tradition, then basically everyone makes lava buns, which is technically a seaweed bread bap thats filled with bacon drippings and a swirl of lava (dont confuse with the Singapore lava bun, which is a sweet custard bun), and then all get together at Barry for a festival, it was traditional for everyone to eat their buns at 2:45pm (which was the winter kick off time before floodlights became widely available) and enjoy them with some old fashioned beer.

What do we all think about getting this going again, I think it will bring a family friendly feeling to the club, and promote good relations with the community.

I'm not being funny mate but there's an even better tradition.

Going to the pubs in canton and getting absolutely off your face wasted.

There is certainly a place for that sort of thing, but this is something historical, that the ladies and children can get involved with

UPDATE:

If anyone wants to get involved, can you ask your wives to prepare the lava buns with the recipe below. Its been adapted by a very old friend of mine who has recently moved to Southend-On-Sea

Ingredients

30g fresh yeast
1 tsp clear honey
150ml warm water
150ml warm milk
2 tbsp cold pressed rapeseed oil
340g strong white bread flour
110g wholemeal bread flour
1 rounded tsp fine sea salt
15g Lava seaweed, finely shredded (I used a pair of kitchen scissors for this)
Oil and coarse sea salt to glaze

Lavabread comes from swansea these days mate, unless it were stamped with a south wales seal. I'd rather eat houmous in that arab cafe on cowbridge road

I think you can get it from North Wales as well as Ireland. Its only a swirl really, apart from the bit in the bread. I think it sounds like a nice day out

When in Wales I usually get my seaweed from that lovely market in Swansea, fish, bread & welshcakes as well. But I have exported from a company in Eire whose name evades me.

From previous posts, knew you were a jack b*stard.

I go to lots of places in Wales, do you only stay in Cardiff?

Looks like the bun festival is defiantly on the cards.

Everyone get involved!
