hugovk, 1 month ago @emckean Thing I learned while looking up things after reading the things you learned while looking other things: There's a plant called Welsh onion, which is a kind of spring onion (scallion) It's not indigenous to Wales or common in Welsh cuisine (can confirm, never heard of it before. The leek is the national veg.) "Welsh" here means foreign, non-native Wales is an exonym from a word for foreigner (see also the wal- in walnut). Cymru is the Welsh name, from a word for compatriot.
