No		 A superb breakfast (or late night snack) - but fools insist on calling it "Welsh Rarebit" (it's not really a rabbit, see?). This is a modern version because the Original Version isn't practical today. Golden Buck is a Welsh Rabbit with a poached egg on top.

Make:   -   (20 min)
  1. Grate the CHEESE or slice it thin and chop it small.
  2. Toast BREAD and trim off the crusts. Set on warm plates ready to serve.
  3. Mix all Sauce items in a saucepan over moderate heat and start stirring in the cheese. It should be hot but shouldn't boil and while stirring it should look like curds, but become silky smooth in a moment when left to rest. If it forms a rubbery mass you ignored Note-1.
  4. Pour Cheese over Bread, grind a little Pepper over it and serve immediately.
NOTES:
  1. Cheddar Cheese:   A quality aged cheddar is essential. Industrial cheddar turns into a mass of rubber on the toast. The cheese in the photo was a New Zealand sharp cheddar (the cheapest decent cheddar they had at Trader Joe's).
  2. Original Version:   First, you need to heat your Salamander in the fire until it glows red. Take a slab of toast and moisten it with ale. Take a slab of cheese and roast it on one side with a red hot salamander. Flip it roast side down on the toast and roast the other side with the salamander. Smear some mustard on top and serve.
  3. U.S. measure: t=teaspoon, T=Tablespoon, c=cup, qt=quart, oz=ounce, #=pound, cl=clove in=inch, ar=as required tt=to taste
