Today day is September 3 Welsh Rarebit Day, this Day is observed annually on September 3rd. It is actually a Welsh term for “rabbit”. Not unlike mock turtle soup having no turtle in it, Welsh rarebit does not contain rabbit.
Famous all over Europe, Welsh Rarebit is a distant cousin to cheese on toast, made with a cheese and ale sauce, and Welsh Rarebit Day celebrates this famous dish. Nobody’s quite sure of the origin of the name, but it’s generally believed to be a jest at the expense of the early poor of Wales, who may largely have subsisted on rabbit and ale In the eighteenth century, Welsh Rarebit was served as a succulent supper and was also known as a tavern dish.
Day is a great opportunity to try it for the first time.
