Tuesday SEPT 3RD is Welsh Rarebit Day: I dunno about ya’ll but i grew up thinking this dish was made of rare rabbit and wanted nothing whatsoever to do with it! HOWEVER, what it actually is in it’s most simple form is cheese on toast! But upon further investigation, recipes for this dish involve creating a very delectable cheese concoction atop densely textured and flavorful breads (that can result in either a cheese sauce consistency or something with more texture and pull) with even more flavor-filled and ‘comforting’ (i.e. fat-filled!) ingredients beyond the cheddar like: butter, heavy cream, dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, porter beer and hot sauce! I know one thing — i’m about to tap into whatever Welsh heritage I have and add this deliciousness to my signature dish line up…
yup, I chatted up Sir Anthony Hopkins himself once upon a time on the Paramount pictures backlot when i worked there in….[to be continued on Patreon ]…
Why am i even mentioning this British Isles dish here? Well, it turns out that my surname, Hopkins, is Welsh. …And how did I find that out you’re wondering? Not to brag (ha!) but i learned this intel first-hand from arguably the most famous Welsh person on the planet — Sir Anthony Hopkins himself! …To hear this story (+ the fascinating history behind why so many African Americans have such a high incidence of Welsh surnames )… you’ll have to join my Patreon community .. And if you already have then message me there to get that scoop!
