Phil Vickery's in the kitchen now with the perfect half-time snack - he'll be making a laverbread wholemeal loaf and one of the most Welsh dishes of them all, rarebit!
There's no definitive evidence it is Welsh. 'One of the first appearances of Welsh Rarebit is in the 1700s. It appears in The Art of Cookery. In this cookbook, the author gave versions for several British countries. The recipes were similar except that English Rarebit’s bread was toasted, basted in wine, and cheese was placed on top for it to be broiled. Scottish Rarebit started with buttered, toasted bread. Slices of cheese were placed on top to be broiled. Welsh Rarebit was similar to the Scottish version only the bread had both butter and mustard.'
Phil’s a brilliant chef
Can’t wait to see welsh & Scottish t v now flying the St George’s flag 🏴and celebrating an English dish will you let me know when it’s on
*Welsh rarebit is an English dish* was made by the English, only called “welsh” because of its lack of class / wealth too make aka cheese / bread
Just get Welsh Chefs on for our dishes, English people have to stop doing it for us we deserve recognition.
