I tried that Swedish Bar a couple of years ago and vowed never to return again - overpriced, small helpings and poor quality.

A bit off thread, but Chelsea wrote:
BTW, you have missed one item from your message at the bottom of your messages. I think it should also read "Already knocked out of the League Cup by Walsall".
I've told you many times, after so many years as a Plymouth supporter, I'm a realist. Plymouth are never going to win the competition, so drop out of it as soon as possible. Sir Alex had a similar view for many years, and would only play a reserve team - albeit he wanted out because it wasn't worth winning, not because his team weren't good enough. I am actually delighted Plymouth are out of the competition - survival in the Championship is far more important.

To keep you happy, I've changed the message anyway :cheers:

I know that the quality of street restaurants can be a bit erratic, but one that I’ve found good recently is on the pavement opposite the Palace, near the Parachute Regiment HQ. You are eating on the side of the main road, but the food is very good for the price. I asked my partner for the name of it and she looked at the sign and replied “restaurant opposite the Palaceâ€

This is a PEETA sponsored post :D. My damn newspaper has gone to the recycling old lady already! I thought it was one word and about 6-8 letters? Have I seen something like Welsh-rarebit or Welsh-rarebet written somewhere before, maybe on a menu? I have no idea if this is a dish or not, I don't travel in those circles...LOL.

I think this clue was actually asking the one word name of a 'Welsh Rabbit'??? And if it was, why are the special and are they tasty? Pete :shock: :cheers:

Welsh rarebit is (basically) cheese on toast, Pete. A Welsh rabbit? No idea? Dylan (from the Magic Roundabout)? Only 5 letters, though. :(

Welsh rabbit
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search

Welsh rabbit – or rarebit – is a traditional British snack dish, also known as toasted cheese. "Cheese on toast" is a variant of this dish.

It is made by grating cheese and blending it with beer or a little milk and butter, adding seasoning (particularly mustard), and spreading the mixture onto hot toast; the whole is then heated briskly from above (a procedure known as grilling in British English, broiling in North America). Classically the cheese used in Welsh rabbit is Lancashire, Cheddar or Double Gloucester, although Red Leicester is a popular substitute.

The Oxford English Dictionary states that it can also be "simply, slices of toasted cheese laid on toast".

The OED establishes that the original name of the food was "Welsh rabbit", and mentions "Welsh rarebit" only as an "etymologizing alteration of [the preceding]. There is no evidence of the independent use of rarebit". The source is not exactly known, but most likely was originally a slur. In the 17th and 18th centuries it was common to use the adjective "Welsh" to mean inferior quality, even implying counterfeiting. In a society where most people could snare a rabbit for the cooking pot, a Welshman was considered by some people so hopelessly feckless that cheese melted with beer would have to substitute. The first record of the word was in 1725. The alternative form "rarebit" only occurs from 1785. In the Victorian era and later, however, recipe books began to refer to this dish as "Welsh rarebit". This was a euphemism based on folk etymology (that is, this was a new word made up by people who didn't understand why the dish was called "rabbit"). Perhaps because the disparaging origin is recognised, the form "rarebit" is strongly advocated by some in Britain, although the original form remains common.

In parts of the United Kingdom today, there is a tendency for the traditional name to be replaced by the more prosaic "cheese on toast" (more typically applied to a slice of cheese, placed on toast, then grilled) or "toasted cheese".

The Welsh name for Welsh rabbit is caws-wedi-pobi, or the northern caws ar dôst.
