What is National Welsh Rarebit Day?
National Welsh Rarebit Day, September 3rd, makes a delectable and hearty snack. What is a rarebit? Since there is no rabbit in the dish, the cheesy toast was originally called Rabbit in a tongue-in-cheek way in the Welsh language. Welsh rarebit does not contain rabbits, similar to mock turtle soup without a turtle in it. Rather, this dish is made with toast with hot cheese poured over it. The dish became known as Welsh Rarebit over time, a nod to the inside joke.
Welsh Rarebit was served as a delectable supper in the eighteenth century. It was served with ale at Taverns. Although fondue may have come to mind, Welsh Rarebit's Welsh Rarebit uses wheat bread and cheddar cheese more often than not. With Swiss cheeses, a classic European fondue would begin. Welsh Rarebit is available in various forms as with any dish. Some of the dishes call for cayenne pepper, mustard, Worcestershire, Worcestershire, or paprika.
Top the cheese with a poached egg, and the dish becomes a Golden Buck. Some call the dish a Yorkshire Buck, while others call it a Yorkshire Buck. It also appears that humor goes well with Welsh Rarebit. Or at least it did back when humor was tossed back and forth across the pond, as it did. In any case, the creamy, cheesy, and toasty dish deserves a look and a smile.
