Fortnum & Mason’s Welsh Rarebit

Rarebit? Rabbit? Rarerabbit? The argument as to right spelling and pronunciation burns eternal, but all that in fact matters is Cheddar cheese, mixed with mustard, Worcestershire sauce, a total egg and a drop of beer. Fortnum’s employ Guinness, despite the incontrovertible fact that any great or bitter will enact gorgeous. Right here is then slathered over factual toast, grilled until bubbling and carried out with half a grilled tomato and a shake of Worcestershire sauce. One buyer is so enamoured by the dish that at any time when he flies in from Santa Barbara, California, he dumps his baggage on the Stafford Resort and rushes over the road for rarebit. With out even checking in. Completed correctly, this dish inspires that kind of devotion.—Tom Parker BowlesReprinted with permission from The Cookbook: Fortnum & Mason by Tom Parker Bowles.
