AA Gill said the Welsh stall 'stood out'

The Sunday Times columnist once called the Welsh "dark ugly little trolls" and said "you can easily travel from Cardiff to Anglesey without ever stimulating a taste bud."

But he described the make-shift stall at this year's music festival which was run by three men from Crymych in Pembrokeshire as "my favourite restaurant of the year."

He gave the Te a Tost (Tea and Toast) stall a glowing review in his latest column.

Mr Gill told the BBC: "On the face of it tea and toast sounds very simple but it is not actually that easy to make.

What AA Gill has said about: The Welsh: "loquacious, dissemblers, immoral liars, stunted, bigoted, dark, ugly, pugnacious little trolls." Rhyl: "a town only a man driving a crane with a demolition ball would visit with a smile." Welsh cooking: "you can easily travel from Cardiff to Anglesey without ever stimulating a taste bud."

"They were all so jolly about it and so funny.

"It was just the coming together of all those things that makes something quite simple so memorable."

In his review Mr Gill pronounced: "Glastonbury has a thousand ethnic, organic, free-range, vegan stalls selling gnome cooking.

"But there was one that stood out. It was a tiny stall. You ordered from a hatch.

"All they did was make tea and toast. I thought, God, it doesn't get any better than this."

But he could not resist a dig despite the lavish praise.

"Not everyone has the correct state of mind to master the art of toast," he wrote.

The Te a Tost stall was the toast of Glastonbury

"You can't do it if you've got more pressing things on your mind.

"You can't create toast if you think it's menial or beneath you.

"This was the toast that can only be made by the long-term unemployed and Wales can boast more professors of toast than any other country in the solar system."

Geraint Jones was one of those manning the stand at the Somerset festival last month.

"I thought it was AA Gill when I saw him so for the years of criticising the Welsh he would not like to know what I did to his toast," he joked.

"We thought we would have a bit of a laugh just making toast and tea - we could not believe how popular it was.

"We would like to go to Glastonbury again next year if possible and just have a bit of fun.
