We were all over Slovakia. It's incredible that we didn't get a single goal.
Hey Tilly are you having Welsh, is it Rarebit? Why is it called this?
The origin of Welsh rabbit (rarebit)
Now often known as Welsh rarebit, this dish of toasted cheese was originally known as Welsh rabbit…
but why?
There is no evidence that the Welsh actually originated
Welsh rabbit, although they have always had a reputation for being passionately fond of it (a fourteenth-century text tells the tale that the Welsh people in heaven were being troublesome, and in order to get rid of them St Peter went outside the Pearly Gates and shouted ‘Caws pobi’ (Welsh for ‘toasted cheese’)—whereupon all the Welsh rushed out and the gates were shut on them).
A more likely derivation of the name is that Welsh in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries was used as a patronizingly humorous epithet for any inferior grade or variety of article, or for a substitute for the real thing (thus a
Welsh pearl was one of poor quality, possibly counterfeit, and to use a
Welsh comb was to comb one’s hair with one’s fingers).
Welsh rabbit may therefore have started life as a dish resorted to when meat was not available. The first record of the word comes in John Byron’s Literary Remains (1725): ‘I did not eat of cold beef, but of Welsh rabbit and stewed cheese.’
Sounds about right. Lol.
