Hot cheese with beer added? The Joy of Cooking, p.242, has the recipe for this most traditional of dishes …
IN PRAISE OF THE RARE WELSH
rarebit or rabbit? who would know 
the way to spell or to pronounce
what comes from no grand chateau
and always lacks a rabbit’s meat
a dish that’s made with ale or beer
but must contain aged yellow cheese
the first will give a sense of cheer
the second adds that tangy taste
some cooks prefer to use rich cream
with mustard and a touch cayenne
which version may appear supreme
but surely adds avoirdupois
beer or cream make a fat tit-bit
that could become a Welsh rabbit
A Bedroom of Searchlights’: poetry. This collection draws a picture of the poet’s divorced mother, an artist with two children, who struggled with poverty, war, and the realities of daily life, yet still found beauty and comfort in her garden, and her art. From Inanna Publications, 2016.
