PS: I know it is non-standard, that is why I called it Mattie's Welsh rarebit!
My mother grew up in Cwmllynfell, near Brynamman. Their house was within yards of the end of the tarmacked road - very rural!
Hi I am Welsh and have never come accross this recipe
Sounds interesting but not a classic Welsh Rarebit recipe.I was taught the method as a young commis chef and its origin as a way of using up leftover cheese in homes when nothing went to waste.My old recipe books show it as spelt; WELSH RABBIT.This may explain the variation BUCK Rarebit.
Same as wilsondan here. I'm 53, have worked in Wales quite a lot, spent leisure time there, lots! And have many, many Welsh friends - yet I have never come across anything like this recipe. AGAIN this is NOT a criticism just an observation of many years.Where is this recipe from? It's certainly not 'rural Wales' as WendyL says I'm sure?Very willing to be proved wrong as ever!
Looks good to me... but equally nothing like any version of a Welsh Rarebit I have ever seen in plenty of books. Which isn't a criticism!
