Welsh Rarebit

Another Mrs C.S. Peel inspiration. We have had this twice. The only difference this second time is 5g more cheese and 2 tbsp of cream. What a difference! The beer is not over-powering at all and it really is delicious. So dig in!

The preferable base is lightly toasted wholemeal or rye bread.

Ingredients

20g unsalted butter
20g flour

Eat meat from happily reared animals, and then you have their permission to really enjoy what you eat. Seconded by my great great grandmother, Dorothy Peel, in her books 100 years ago: ‘To judge by a letter which has appeared in the daily press and from private conversations it would seem that many people think that to abstain from meat on one of two days a week and to limit their total consumption to 2 ½ lb. per head per week is a restriction which may seriously affect their health. To be quite frank, it may affect their greed, but it certainly will not adversely affect their health; indeed, there seems good reason to think that less meat-eating would improve the health of the well-to-do.’ Mrs C.S. Peel, The Eat Less Meat Book, 1917
