WELSH "WELSH RAREBIT."— Thick slices of bread, cut
across the whole loaf, spread with a layer at least half as thick as
the bread, of rich cream cheese, crumbled fine. On top of this
spread evenly a thin layer of bacon, chopped very fine; according
to taste, a sprinkling of pepper was added and a wineglass of ale,
or enough to slightly wet the bread, was poured over the whole.
The slices prepared were placed in a hot oven and left until the
bread was dried through, the cheese melted and the bacon crisped.
This is the standard breakfast in Welsh homes, washed down with
a pot of English tea, almost strong enough to float an egg.— Mabel
Sturtevant, 105 S. Dearborn St., Chicago, 111.
