Is it the type of bread? Or is a sauce involved?

It ends in my stomach and, then I'm on to the second course, the rarebit.

It'll be the "other ingredients".
Cheese on toast is just slices of cheese grilled on top of bread.
Rarebit involves the cheese being made in to a sauce.

seems english welsh and scottish all have their methods..


"To make an English rabbit, toast the bread brown on both sides, lay it in a plate before the fire, pour a glass of red wine over it, and let it soak the wine up. Then cut some cheese very thin and lay it very thick over the bread, put it in a tin oven before the fire, and it will be toasted and browned presently. Serve it away hot."

I assume it's called a rarebit, because it's a rare bit of brea topped with delicious cheds, rare because i assume cheese would be expensive back in th day, so to a peasant, the bread would be a rare bit cus it's sprinkled with expensive cheds.

To us modern folk ched on toast makes more sense.
folk etymology (which you've just recreated). It was originally just Welsh rabbit.
Were they not skilled at catching the real thing ?
Welsh rarebit? A Tiger Bay virgin. :-)
I love this...//... just brown it with a hot shovel. //

hahaha, that's the traditional method ;)
I really like haggis rarebit, but the wee b*****s are so fast on their feet they are hard to catch. Usually end up just using cheese.
Don't they need plucking first?
