Happy Saint David's Day from all of us in Pod Pengwin.
We are going to be looking at all the wonderful things that make us proud to be Welsh.
Getting ready for St David's Day
The Pengwins will be getting ready for St David's day by preparing their own Welsh flag, making delicious Glamorgan sausages, tasting a variety of Welsh food and planting daffodils.
Who was St David?
Here is an interesting story about St David.

Glamorgan Sausages.
On Wednesday the Pengwins will be making and selling Glamorgan Sausages at Llanridian Marchnad.
Ingredients
- 225g fresh breadcrumbs
- 125g grated cheese
- 3 medium size free-range eggs
- a little milk
- salt and white pepper
- 1⁄2 teaspoon dry mustard
- 175g leek shredded and sautéed in a little butter for 2 minutes
- 1 heaped tablespoon of fresh, chopped parsley
Coating
- 100g fresh breadcrumbs
- 1 medium size free-range egg
- 4 tablespoons milk
- Vegetable oil for frying
Method
- Place the breadcrumbs, cheese, seasoning, mustard, leek and parsley into a mixing bowl, mix well.
- Beat together the eggs, and add to the ingredients. Mix the ingredients to form a firm dough, you may need a little milk if the mixture is a little dry. Divide the mixture into 16, and form each portion into a sausage shape.
- Coating the sausages is optional, however this does give a wonderful crispy texture to the sausages. Beat the egg and add the milk. Place the breadcrumbs on a plate and season lightly. Take each sausage and roll it in the egg mixture, drain a little, then roll in the breadcrumbs. Repeat until all the sausages are coated, chill for an hour.
- Heat a heavy base frying pan, add a little oil, add the sausages a few at a time and cook over a medium-low heat until golden all over. The sausages should fry gently, if the heat is too high they will brown too quickly and not be cooked through.
