Many works of Celtic art have been found in Wales.[8] In the Early Medieval period, the Celtic Christianity of Wales participated in the Insular art of the British Isles and a number ofilluminated manuscripts possibly of Welsh origin survive, of which the 8th century Hereford Gospels and Lichfield Gospels are the most notable. The 11th century Ricemarch Psalter(now in Dublin) is certainly Welsh, made in St David's, and shows a late Insular style with unusual Viking influence.
Welsh cuisine encompasses the cooking traditions and practices of the country of Wales. Welsh cuisine has influenced and been influenced by other British cuisines. Beef and dairy cattle are raised widely. Sheep farming is extensive in the country and lamb is the meat traditionally associated with Welsh cooking, particularly in dishes such as roast lamb with fresh mint sauce. Welsh cooking often includes seafood, especially close to the coast, where fishing culture is strong and fisheries are common. This is exemplified by the use ofcockles and laverbread in Welsh cuisine. The leek, because of its role as the country's national vegetable, is also used frequently in Welsh cuisine.
