Don’t let the title fool you…this recipe is rabbit-free! September 3rd is a national holiday in the USA (yes, you read that right!), National Welsh Rarebit Day. Nobody’s quite sure of the origin of rarebit, but it’s sometimes believed to be a jab at the expense of the early poor of Wales, who may largely have subsisted on rabbit and ale.
