Bara brith
Bara brith, sometimes known as 'speckled bread' (the literal meaning of the original Welsh-language name), is a yeasty dough enriched with dried fruit. It is traditionally made with raisins, currants and candied peel.
In Argentina bara brith, which was brought to the country by the Welsh settlers who started arriving in Chubut province in 1865, is known as torta negra ("black cake") and is a traditional food item there.
There are many different recipes for this bread, which is baked and sold commercially in some parts of Wales. The bread has a limited shelf life and is best eaten as soon as possible.
