+Don Swearingen Yup. It was sort of a folk joke, Irish rabbit was a slice of bread, Welsh rabbit was cheese on toast, Scotch rabbit was cheese on toast with seasoning and ale, and English rabbit was actual rabbit.

I read the title fast and thought it said "perfect welsh rabbit" and I kept
thinking through out the whole video "where is the rabbit?!" then Jamie
said rarebit and I was like oh... makes sense lol
Funny story behind that name, it was actually called Welsh rabbit way back when. It was sort of a saying, the irish were so poor their rabbit was just bread, the Welsh had toast and cheese, the scots had cheese on toast with a nice sauce, and the English had actual rabbit on their bread.
Welsh Rarebit/Welsh Rabbit Recipe from 1929
A classic recipe for a highly flavoured cheese on toast dish, Welsh Rarebit. Also known as Welsh Rabbit. This dish is thought to have originated in the 1700's.
In England, the poor mans food was rabbit. In Wales, the poor mans food was
cheese. "Welsh Rabbit" implied the Welsh version of rabbit was cheese. It
was a pun. Rarebit was a result of false etymology, which is often believed
to have been a misunderstanding of the spoken word (say rabbit in a south
Welsh accent). It's a Welsh dish mockingly named by the English. Also, your
notorious liar comment is fucked up, and I consider you an obnoxious
example of a person. Sincerely, a Welshman.
Yes, I think my comment was snotty, too, now that I see it again. I was
remembering Welsh people I've known and that wasn't fair of me. I
apologize. The cheese fondue eaten in Eastern and Southeastern France
(called "raclette," often) is also poor man's food. Tourists and locals
like it but regular French people consider cooking with cheese rather
gauche, and they much prefer it plain and not messed with. I first heard
the anti-Welsh comment from Keith Richards, actually.
"Dream of the Rarebit Fiend was a newspaper comic strip by American
cartoonist Winsor McCay which began 10 September 1904. Bizarre dreams made
up the content of the strip." I copied the above from Wikipedia, but I'm
familiar with the stip. People would eat the rich rarebit and then have
wild dreams. You can find some of the strips on the net. I remember this
from when I was a kid (I'm 62) but I'm pretty sure my mom didn't use beer.

You make such great videos! and you have such a unique concept with these
vintage recipes I hope you make some more videos in the future. Chow.com
had a pretty collection of recipes called "Lost Recipes of the Grand
Hotels" and it would be really cool if you made their consume celestine.
Thanks again for your great uploads
I grew up with the American mid-west version of this recipe. All you need
is a can of tomato soup and a can of cheddar cheese soup (Campbells or
generic equivalent). Combine cans and add milk to desired consistency. Heat
and serve on toast.
What can i use to substitute the worchester sause? Im allergic to fish. The
anchovy paste in it causes me to have a minor reaction. I really want to
try this.

My grandmother used to make this stuff, but it was a lot different (and
probably a lot better). She put it on crackers instead of toast. I'm not
sure what her recipe was, but hers was always yellow and creamy, not white
and spotty.
great! You can add more beer and less cheeese, then use bread crumbs for
thickening. and worcestershire sauce is optional I guess. Apparently there
are many recipes for this. But I like the way she shows the basics.

@vulcanmaster why are you moaning about eggs? there are reciepes for this
over a 100years old in with eggs in. Perhaps its a bit less of a
traditional welsh dish than the name suggests, have you considered that.?
Love the cheese. Recipe would have been better if they would have given a
proper amounts. My mother used to make rarebit but I screw it up when I do
it.... I think I made it right once.
@vulcanmaster What are you whining about? Recipes are dynamic. That looks
delicious. It's a variation upon a theme. And anyways you're such a
traditionalist. You probably shop at Tescos.
A posh version, but very nice indeed. HOWEVER!! Surely any chef worth his
weight in gold (ESPECIALLY one that lives in Abergavenny) would know that
it is pronounced "RABBIT"!!
