WELSH RABBIT
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.)

Steps:
- Make the toasts, butter lightly and take off the crusts.
- Melt the butter over low heat, add the cheese, and slowly pour in the beer, stirring till smooth. Add the mustard and pepper. Keep stirring till it is heated through, but never let it boil or bubble or it will become stringy. Pour over the toast and serve.
- Use cheddar cheese or something that melts nicely with a good flavour.

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!

Steps:
- In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and whisk in the flour. Cook, whisking constantly for 2 to 3 minutes, being careful not to brown the flour. Whisk in mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper until smooth. Add beer and whisk to combine. Pour in cream and whisk until well combined and smooth. Gradually add cheese, stirring constantly, until cheese melts and sauce is smooth; this will take 4 to 5 minutes. Add hot sauce. Pour over toast and serve immediately.
