National Laverbread Day is observed in Wales every April 14, celebrating the unique Welsh dish known as laverbread, made from edible red algae called laver. The holiday was first celebrated in 2022, initiated by the Pembrokeshire Beachfood Company to promote this often-overlooked delicacy. The date commemorates the anniversary of Kathleen Mary Drew-Baker, a British phycologist whose research contributed to the commercial cultivation of nori in Japan. During this day, various Welsh organizations and businesses host events such as cooking demonstrations, laverbread eating contests, and concerts to encourage people to try laverbread. This dish, affectionately termed “Welshman’s caviar,” can be enjoyed in various ways, including as a spread on toast or as part of a full Welsh breakfast. Participants are encouraged to share their experiences on social media using the hashtags #NationalLaverbreadDay and #LaverbreadDay.
