A Rare Bite

Browsing our grocer's frozen food aisle I often keep a lookout for sales and/or interesting products. A closeout item fit both categories in the form of Welsh rarebit. The label confused me as one small box listed the servings as 4 and a half while the picture showed the classic cheese sauce on two toast slices. No normal person eats a quarter or so slice of bread. But at less than one (US) dollar each, two found their way into my shopping cart.

I later discovered the image depicted a 'serving suggestion'. Rather than finding two separate compartments I discovered a frozen block of golden cheese. Reading the ingredients should have tipped me off. ~shakes head~ For a ready-made, processed food its list is short and includes no preservatives. Most were what constitutes Worcestershire sauce, the flour being just a classic thickening agent.

We already had a loaf of nice crusty bread for a tasty platform. And yes, I ate just about a fourth of the sauce. ~grin~ One difference I'll make in future is to brown the cheesy bread. It tasted good right out of the microwave but this image found on the website Good to Know looks extra tasty. This link leads to the recipe, which I'd like to try sometime.

Yum...

Have you ever eaten Welsh rarebit? Did you know another name for this meatless dairy dish is the incongruous Welsh rabbit?
