Welsh rarebit
Melted cheese dish
Welsh rarebit is a dish of melted cheese, typically seasoned with mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and sometimes beer, served over toast.
The name appears to be a playful or mock-elevated term—there's no rabbit involved.
Also called Welsh rabbit.
We had Welsh rarebit for supper.
