Today is National Welsh Rarebit Day and I have a quibble.  This is cheese on bread.  How does this equate into a cuisine favorite?  Cheese on bread.  Brilliant.  Shouldn’t something like this have at least three ingredients?  Bread with cheese on it.  How was it invented?  Did a Welshman take a continental trip and misunderstand how fondue worked?  Did they go to make a grilled cheese sandwich and realize they had only one slice of bread?  So they poured melted cheese onto it and said, “I’ve just invented something new!”  I know I will hear from all the many Welsh Rarebit Fan Clubs out there.  But really, this is just cheese on bread.
