http://www.myfamilykitchen.com has added a new collection of recipes to
the website for classic vintage recipes. These are all recipes taken
from cookbooks that date pre 1950, just like the one below for Welsh
Rarebit. This recipe comes from a cookbook from 1940.

Welsh Rarebit is a clasic, easy to make old time cheese dip/spread
recipe. Although the recipe calls for a double boiler, you can use a
fondue pot just as well.

There are many variations to this Rarebit recipe and I will add a few
suggestions below, but this is the original classic recipe.

2 pounds American Cheese, Diced
1 Tbs. Butter
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. paprika
1 tsp. dry powdered mustard
dash cayeene pepper
1 cup beer
Toast points or bread croustades

Melt the cheese and butter in double boiler. Add seasonings, then beer,
stiring constantly until smooth.

Serve on toast points or bread croustades.

Variations to this classic rarebit recipe inlcude reducing the cheese to
one pound and adding 1cup of crab, lobster or shrimp meat along with 1/4
cup finely choped green pepper and 1/4 cup finely choped onion as it
cooks.

Somehow... I just don't believe using American Cheese is the classic way...
