The history of Welsh Rarebit, formerly known as Welsh Rabbit, is both interesting and somewhat humorous. This traditional Welsh dish is a savory sauce of melted cheese, typically mixed with other ingredients like ale, mustard, and Worcestershire sauce, served hot over toasted bread.
The dish first appeared in 18th-century Britain. One of the earliest mentions was in 1725 in a book called "The Art of Cookery" by Hannah Glasse.
The term "Welsh Rabbit" was originally used, and it's believed to be a playful, derogatory term coined by the English. The implication was that due to poverty or simplicity in their diet, the Welsh used cheese as a substitute for the more expensive meats like rabbit. Over time, the name evolved to "Welsh Rarebit," though the reasons for this change are unclear. It's possible that the change was made to avoid confusion, or it may have been a way to make the name sound more refined.
While the dish has its roots in Welsh culture, it became popular across Great Britain. It was often enjoyed as a supper dish in public houses (pubs) and a common feature in home cooking.
Traditional Welsh Rarebit includes Welsh cheese, like Cheddar or Caerphilly, melted into a sauce with ale or beer, mustard, and sometimes Worcestershire sauce or paprika. This mixture is poured over toasted bread and sometimes grilled until bubbly and brown. Over time, many recipe variations have developed, including additions like tomatoes or bacon.
Welsh Rarebit has become more than just a simple dish; it symbolises Welsh identity and pride. It's often served in Welsh-themed meals and on St. David’s Day, the national day of Wales.

@@BackyardChef it's cheese on toast, made by millions, but you've managed to turn a quick snack "proper" with paprika. The Americans love it, so job done I guess... I'm being overly cynical. It's a genuinely lovely dish you've prepared that I would love to be served. I just find it personally interesting when peasant dishes are converted for the restaurant, and made "proper". It's an education for the rest of us making cheese on toast all these years.... Do beans on toast next mate. A bit of paprika will set that right off.

I followed your recipe to the T. However, my 7 yr old granddaughter had a brain wave and suggested we should lightly poach 2 eggs and place them on the thick cut toast BEFORE pouring the sauce over the top of them. Well my friend, we thought we'd died and gone to heaven....what an absolutely delicious meal!! Many thanks for this lip-smacking Welsh Rabbit/Rarebit recipe. Cheers from Aotearoa New Zealand.

One of the variations I grew up with used eggs. When the cheese sauce is ready, crack two or three eggs into it and mix. It makes a thick sauce that can resemble a cheesy scrambled egg topping.

My mother who arrived in the U.K. in 1946 was taught to make Welsh rarebit in wales at the time by my welsh grandparents. Maybe it was a wartime recipe, but it was completely different to this. No roux of any kind, and as we were kids no ale. She used day old bread, nothing sliced back then so bakery made bread. Anything she could slice made the main part, the toast. The crusts and anything else were soaked in just enough milk to whisk it into a stiffish mix with her rotary beater. To this she added salt and pepper, Worcester sauce and a little powdered colmans mustard, out of the tin. Then grated cheddar, which sometimes had rinds back then, they were grated with the fine bit on the grater. Toast was toasted lightly on both sides, then the cheesey seasoned mix was piled on to grill under the eye level grill, a bit new dangled back then. By that time all but mum were at the table and she would bring it in, golden brown and bubbling under its skin and we would eat every morsel. Maybe this was the scarcity recipe from when things were hard to find in the war but it is the only one I ever knew. Later when sliced bread did appear it worked ok with that too.

They were even eating it in the 1950's. I'm quite familiar with Hana Glass. I use a lot of her recipes even today as a way to decrease my food budget each month.

I’m 85 years old and grew up innNew Zealand. My mother used to make this dish some afternoons on a cold day when we came home from school. I remember cafe style restaurants that served afternoon tea used to have rarebit on the menu. In 19 I moved tonSydneybAyustralia and it was the same. Cafes had rarebit on the menu. Then I don’t remember when sometime in the late 60s it started to disappear from menus and by the time I met my American girlfriend later wife I could not find a restaurant Thad served Welsh Rarebit and my mother had passed away so she never got to taste it. Going to. Buy mustard beer cream and sharp cheese. I have the rest of the ingredients. It’s miserable and snowing in Canada today perfect time for Welsh Rarebit.

When I was a small farmers boy, and I’m nearly eighty now, I used to go with my parents and grandparents to the Norwich cattle market, now a big shopping mall, about four times a year. The best part was when we walked to a quaint little genteel establishment near the market that served tea and cakes, and upstairs, food. We always had Welsh rabbit, and it was always delicious! Haven’t had it since.

Well done! My mother made this quite often between the late 1950's until she passed away in 2008. To this day I continue to make this detectible dish ~ I'm surprised so few people even think about it. The only thing different about Mother's recipe is that she placed fresh slices of tomato on top of the toasted bread with a slice or two of not too crispy bacon. The hot cheese mixture poured over the toasts (the cheese flowed onto the plate) then popped the plates in the over to broil! That has got to be what I make for dinner tonight! Thanks for the memory! Cheers!

She fed me with the most delightful British Meals, Lamb Roast, Steak and Kidney Pie, BANGERS and Mash with sweet Peas, her REAL ENGLISH BREAKFAST . . . Still nowadays to remember her is mouthwatering. She also showed me (with all her family around) to enjoy a real British TEATIME! May God bless her soul! But you ALSO nailed it with your Welsh Rarebit recipe. There are so many recipes for this meal, but I suppose yours is by far one of the most delicious!

So, it turns out now, it's the adults who possibly just started the 'Rarebit' thing, (I'll bet to make it sound fancier, when they were really just craving their childhood comfort food, lol!)

Priceless. I was going to suggest you do this delicious stuff. Your sauce was runnier than I do mine and we always press the toast (not the crust) down to create a bit of a well.

I made this for my wife when she was my girlfriend nearly 40years ago, when I was visiting her family her sister offered to make cheese on toast for lunch and the Mrs had me make this.

This reminds me of the fondue my mother used to make in the 1970s. She used two or three different kinds of cheese and beer, don't know if anything else was in it. She served it with cubes of French or sourdough bread and cubed ham, which were dipped into the cheese in the fondue pot using long forks. Everybody loved it! This rarebit would be good with a slice of ham on the bread before putting on the cheese sauce. I have known about Welsh Rarebit for a long time and always thought it was just melted cheese on bread. Now I know better and I am definitely going to make this.

In Springfield, IL USA, we used to have a restaurant called Norb Andy’s which was located in the pokey little basement of a brick apartment building. They were the first to invent a hot sandwich called The Horseshoe. Or, if you weren’t blessed with a big appetite, you could order a half-sized sandwich called The Pony Shoe. It had a base of either one or two pieces of toast, then a layer of sliced ham-or shrimp or turkey-then topped with a good slosh of Welsh Rarebit Sauce which was the same recipe as yours, except they used American or German beer, not British ale. Then the whole sandwich was topped with a huge handful of slender hot french fries. Ketchup was offered as a condiment to dip each bite. It became an instant hit and other restaurants began imitating Norb Andy’s Horseshoe. Even today, many Springfield restaurants will offer the sandwich on their menu, although they all pale in comparison to the original. When Norb Andy’s closed its doors, it was the end of an era. However, there are some of us who still strive to keep the memory of real Welsh Rarebit on a Horseshoe alive in our own kitchens. My kids were a few of the lucky ones who enjoyed this delicious luxury. I never knew that the original cheese sauce was served on toast without meat, poultry, or shrimp, but if I ever get the chance to travel to Wales, that will be the first dish ordered. By the way, if you would, please explain to me the difference between ale and beer. Thanks for sharing your recipes.

@@mattowensrees5888 I might be wrong, but here in the U.S., I think some of our beers start out with a yeast mix. The only beer that tempted me was from a Chicago restaurant called Burgoff’s, and the drink was referred to as sweet dark German beer on tap. It’s a good thing we don’t have any here in Springfield. yummmmm!

When I was a teen working in a supermarket, I used to see a frozen entree of Welsh Rabbit/Rarebit, and I was always curious about what it was. After watching the video, watching how it is prepared and trying to conceptualize how butter, flour, ale, cream, mustard and cheese would taste on toast is still hazy. However, I know a good grilled cheese sandwich and a cheese pizza tastes like, so a cheesy creamy savory bread served while still hot, doesn't have to be a hard sell to me. In my old college class on Spanish literature, it was common fare that bread and cheese was considered a meal for Spain in the Middle Ages, and it wasn't toasted or bubbly hot, so the idea of toasted bread with hot creamy cheese that's savory on a cold/wet climate at night could be a rich and tasty meal for anyone. Great video.

There was also a Heinz range in the UK called Toast Toppers (anyone remember?) with various tasty flavours in cute tiny tins, such as bacon and mushroom etc. Sadly I only have a pop-up toaster and a regular oven without a grill, so no toasty snacks! 😧

Dear Chef Rik, I have never tasted real Welsh Rarebit. My father’s name was. Richard Llewellyn, our ancestors came from Wales, via Switzerland, i think they went to Switzerland becasue of religion but that is a an educated guess on my part. At home my father talked about wanting welsh rarebit or rabbit, but nobody really how to make it beyond cheese on toast.. in America in Montana, we could buy a cheese spread in a small “ juice’ glass labeled “Old English” sharp cheddar. We ate it on toast or crackers. In my adult life I have read and tried many recipes for making a cheese sauce called Welsh Rarebit..but none of them were like your recipe here. i can just tell from the video that it is the REAl thing. I am going to make it for my family. Where i live , in NW WA State, there is a “high end”. food market that has a large selection of imported cheese and they sell that very sharp, aged 2 yrs white cheddar that you are using it has bits of salt crystals that crunch deliciously.. it is expensive, and,of course, it is made in England.. i can understand why you only need a small amount to enhance the flaavor of the milder, yellow chddar. Does the Mustard have to be Coleman’s? And would American beer work, or does it have to be ‘“Ale”. i do not know much about beer and ale My father drank Scotch, i regret that i cannot make welsh rarebit for my father. He passed away long ago. But my sons will love it Thank you and i subscribed❤. PS..one of the stories i recall from my school days, is how a diiner of cheese on toast came to be called Welsh Rabbit. There lived in a country called Wales, a poor man and his wife and children. He was a Good man and loved his family.. He went out hunting for a rabbit for dinner,, but there were no rabbits to be found, so he brought home a cheese instead. His wife praised him and was happy to get a cheese At dinner she served the cheese melted on toast and called it Rabbit.

@BackyardChef 5 месяцев назад

Thank you, I loved reading this. Don't get hung up on ale - go for an IPA over there anything like that - something with a bit of body to it and brownish in colour not a Bud light. As far as mustard - no do not worry about colman's if you can get hold of a mustard powder that would be great. The American yellow mustard has more of a sour taste. If using that be a little careful. Wishing you all the very best, Rik
