WELSH RABBIT



Welsh Rabbit image

From Celtic Cookery by Iris Price Jones. "Welsh Rabbit is probably a joke name that has become refined to Welsh Rarebit. Lady Llanover's Welsh rabbit consisted simply of toasted cheese on toast. It was the one recipe in her book, Good Cookery, which was written in Welsh." (Aristocratic landowners had rights to the meat from the rabbits in the fields, so the rest of the people had no meat from the rabbit, and probably little meat at all. Welsh migration to the States, Canada, Patagonia, Australia, and New Zealand was partly a result of poor living conditions where they came from.)

REAL WELSH RAREBIT

A classic version of this dish was shared with me years ago. This is is my adaptation to more local ingredients. If you don't like beer, you can replace it with milk and it will still taste great. Serve over toasted bread or English muffins.

TRADITIONAL WELSH RAREBIT

Real Welsh rarebit has a real bite to it, which means you need a strong cheddar, sharp cheddar or mature cheddar. You can serve it by itself on white toast or add toppings to it. My personal favourite is poached egg or fresh ripe summer tomato slices. Yum!
