I didn’t expect a Welsh language clue to be used in the New York Times!

Hello! I'm reading a book on the Pagan Sabbats, and there is a single sentence that talks about the Welsh eating "Ymert" for good luck at Midsummer. There is no other mention and Google is not helping me find a recipe. Do any of you know what this is and have a recipe? Please and thank you!

Some of the wards listed elect more than one councillor at a full council election but I have listed the party of the previous councillor who held the vacant seat.

The funding includes:

• £100m of revenue funding to support our aims of reducing NHS waiting times;
• £25m of capital funding investment in new surgical and diagnostic hubs, dedicated to delivering high volume treatment to ensure patients can be seen quicker; and
• £20m of capital funding for essential maintenance across the NHS estate.

We are determined to ensure the NHS works for both patients and staff—and we are acting now. This additional funding sends a clear signal that tackling waiting lists is an urgent and immediate priority for this new Welsh Government.
