The Rarest of Rarebits

The Rarest of Rarebits

Those of you who are fond of Welsh Rarebit (in effect cheese on toast), may find Master chef Tom Bridge's creation a little hard to digest.

He is in the process of creating a £345 a slice Welsh Rarebit using; £600 per lb white Umbrian truffles and £250 per lb matsutake Chinese mushrooms.

The dish is to be created for National Cheese on Toast Day on April 27.

Those of you who can't quite manage £345 per slice may prefer to try this simple recipe:

-Grated mature English cheddar
-Worcestershire sauce
-Tabasco sauce
-Salt/black pepper
-Egg yolk
-Tablespoon of milk
-Teaspoon of flour
-Tablespoon of ale or Guinness
-Teaspoon of English mustard powder

Mix the above together and spread on a slice of toast. Grill until the cheese is brown and bubbling.

Marvellous!
