A rabbit name without rabbitSourced
Welsh rarebit serves cheese on toast
Welsh rarebit, also called Welsh rabbit, is hot cheese sauce on toasted bread. It contains no rabbit. The name’s origin is uncertain, and strong evidence for a Welsh culinary origin is lacking. Both the animal and the place-name need cautious interpretation.
The rabbit belongs to the name rather than the plate.
