seaweed is very nice to eat and very good for you full of iron n stuff thats ment to be good for you lol there is quite a few types in the uk that you can eat raw or cooked. as kids we used to take seaweed home and hang it in the porch if it felt moist it meant it was going to rain if it felt dry to the touch it meant it was going to be hot and sunny, personally i think it was more when it rained it got wet and in the sun it dried but it was something that we used to all do as kids in hertfordshire
As a child I would go down to the beaches of South Wales with my dad and uncles to collect laver bread. We would spend ages washing out the sand in rock pools then taking it back to nanas house where she would have three massive pans on the cooker. She would then cook it and put it into tin foil containers and freeze it. We would then have it with a huge fry up on a Sunday. Laver is the same type of seaweed that the Japanese use to wrap sushi(nori).

Nutrasweet Kelco have a factory near Girvan (Firth of Clyde) that turns kelp into....
Nutrasweet.
The process uses a rake of sulphuric acid, formaldehyde and other wonderful chemicals.
The effluent from their treatment/ extraction process appears to be able to dissolve concrete.

Ignore @rich p. On this subject, I mean, although it wouldn't go amiss as general advice. Laverbread is delicious, and makes you live forever. It is good for breakfast, and has an affinity with bacon and tomatoes. If you are poaching eggs, the thing to do is to mix laver and oatmeal, make a little cake, and fry it in bacon fat, before popping the egg on top. The very best thing to do with laverbread, though is Welsh Spaghetti Vongole - a variation on the classic. Fry garlic and some chopped parsley (with bacon if you like), possibly chilli, and arguably tomatoes, chuck in fresh cockles and laverbread, Use to dress lightly drained spaghetti or linguine, and pour yourself a very large glass of white wine.

Iodine- That's what seaweed gives that other foods cannot. Caution should be exercised, however, with certain preexisting conditions like kidney disease.

@theclaud, I think you're guilty of not going far enough here (although arguably, The Gower is a decent attempt)
Vongole Gallese, add some finely chopped leeks, tuck a daffodil behind your left ear and eat outside in the píssing rain. Ecco!
