Happy Europe Day, Everyone!

are you a closet Cliff Richard fan or something, for goodness sake?

Can there possibly be any other kind? Just curious!

Cliff started out by being just curious

Sally Lunn's Welsh Rarebit in Bath used to be worth making a trip for.
(think I have missed the main point of this thread, but always happy to voice an opinion !!)

Is Welsh Rarebit a euphemism for something naughty where you come from, or did Sally Lunn actually make nice cheese and tomato on toast?

It's a great European tradition (as is Elgar's music )

Blimey, Flossie, have you been reading the Daily Mail recently? Denying that people can be British citizens simply because they were born in another country seems to go rather against your usual wooly left wing viewpoint. What about all those immigrants to the UK who have taken out British citizenship? Are they therefore not really British?

I always suspected you were a closet right-winger. Perhaps we have a lot in common after all.

You seem to have gone unusually quiet......

That's the second time you've referred to tomato in the context of Welsh Rarebit, or Rabbit. Tomato has no place in the classic Rarebit/Rabbit recipe. Theodora Fitzgibbon, in 'A Taste of Wales', gives the name of the dish as Caws Pobi, or Welsh Rarebit, & lists the ingredients as cheese, butter, Worcestershire Sauce, Mustard, flour, beer (or milk for the teetotal), pepper. A variation is Buck Rarebit (which might give support to the claim that 'Rarebit' should be 'Rabbit') which has a poached egg on top. She goes on to say that her Great-aunt Polly Mary used to make a version with cheese, Welsh bacon & a small onion, minced and mixed well, & spread on toast & baked in the oven.

No, just knitting my wooly views together.

Tomato is the nicest part of Welsh Rabbit - can't see what all the fuss is about.

rarebits from the Principality I've invariably found to be few and far between.

Put it this way, Floss, I'm really sorry about yours ...

I reckon his singing would be better than yours is

I had some Welsh Rarebit on Bangor Pier once. When it came I was a bit disapointed.

Looked like cheese on toast.

I would have been disappointed too - no tomatoes
