MEP serves up a taste of Wales

Kay Swinburne, Welsh Conservative MEP, is delighted to be hosting a 'farmhouse' breakfast this week - right in the heart Brussels.
The promotional event in the European Parliament on Wednesday is backed by the Farmers' Union of Wales and aims to promote Welsh produce across Europe.
It is linked to a series of events throughout the UK drawing attention to the importance of eating breakfast - but this is the only one to take the key message abroad.
Welsh sausages, bacon, cheese and yogurt will be on the menu, all shipped to Brussels from local producers in Wales.
"Welsh farm produce is of an extremely high quality and something we should be very proud of," said Kay.
"Continentals care very much about sourcing the best produce and we aim to show them they can't beat what we offer
"Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, so what better way to start than with a hearty Welsh farmhouse breakfast?
"I am sure my colleagues will enjoy a meal to savour. And for afters - while we´ve got them, we'll give them a better understanding of Welsh farmers' needs in the upcoming review of the Common Agricultural Policy".
