The Recipe for Welsh Rarebit

This dish has a mysterious story trailing behind it. Rarebit is the Welsh variant of rabbit, but no matter how good a detective you are, you won’t find any rabbits in it – only bread and cheese. But why is it called a rarebit? One can only suggest that at the time the dish originated poor Welsh people saw very little of meat, especially rabbit meat, so they may have called a toast with cheese rarebit in irony. The strange name brings in an intriguing note that makes the toasts mystically tastier.
