September 22nd, 1875 Welsh Rabbit (Rarebit) & 1912 Canned Tomatoes
Burlington Vermont 1875
September 22nd 1875
Welsh Rabbit
1 cup bread crumbs
¾ cup grated cheese
1 teaspoon mustard
3 cups milk
Butter size walnut
Salt to taste, cook slowly until ingredients are blended and pour over hot brown slices of toast.
This is a very interesting recipe; it appears in almost every cook book in some form or other. It is also known as Welsh Rarebit, which somehow morphed in the rabbit. There is no meat in this recipe, it is mostly a blend of cheeses, milk and sometimes Beer, on top of toast. Sometimes it has spices added, such as paprika, but I think these are additions of each individual cook and just depends on how they have learned to make it.
I have recipes for it that go back into the early 1800’s, I really do not know how old it goes.
I remember Mom serving this for dinner as a kid in the 1950’s and 60’s, I loved it and often wondered why we never had it after the late 60’s.
