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 (though how this relates back to cheese on toast, we’re not sure).

Hm. Welsh rarebit done properly looks seems a bit of a longness. Will settle for cheese on toast with sweet chilli or Worcestershire sauce.
Actually, do I mean Welsh rarebit? *looks up how to make it*
Right. Food. I think a midnight snack of cheese-on-toast (or welsh rarebit?) is in order here.
