- Q: What is the traditional Welsh dish of Laverbread primarily made from?

A: Calvados. Distillers create this spirit by distilling cider from a blend of sweet and bitter apples and then ageing the liquid in oak barrels. - Q: Which type of pastry do cooks traditionally use to make a jam roly-poly?
