Did youse not get told not to eat cheese at night cos it would give you nightmares? I don't think it's true but it appears to be a commonly held belief among old people. Similar to the "don't swim after eating or you will drown" idea I guess.

When we lived in small-town Indiana the county fair was seen as a legit business lunch location. Whenever the fair was happening people would take their lunch break, go to the county fair, go to the PORK TENT, and have giant flat pork sandwiches for lunch before getting back to work. Honestly it made a nice change of pace and the sandwiches were pretty good, particularly in comparison to the chain restaurants in town. Small-town Indiana is not great at food. Literally called the Pork Tent.

The name Welsh Rarebit is basically a racist joke, like "lmao the Welsh are so poor and stupid that they can't afford meat so they'll put cheese on toast and call it rabbit"

Despite what the perfidious sais say, rarebit isn't "just" cheese on toast, it's a specific cheese sauce made with lots of beer & mustard & worcester sauce  Couple of places round here do a rarebit burger, basically making welsh rarebit with both sides of the burger bun before assembly. It is good.

Anyone from the country that invented mushy corn doesn't get to poo poo on the country that invented mushy peas. Also what do you want us to call them? It's about as literal a name as possible. Flavoured with mint, served with good quality fish and chips with lashings of salt and vinegar, it's excellent food and absolutely none of you would think differently if you had a plate in front of you.

OwlFancier posted:Did youse not get told not to eat cheese at night cos it would give you nightmares? 80s Garfield comics really hammered on the idea that eating pizza before bed would give you weird dreams / nightmares. I feel like I've seen that idea in other media, but nothing's springing to mind. That said: Borrovan posted:Despite what the perfidious sais say, rarebit isn't "just" cheese on toast, it's a specific cheese sauce made with lots of beer & mustard & worcester sauce This is true. Rarebits are delicious; there's a local pub that makes a really good one, and it's on my short list of things to eat once it's actually safe and responsible to dine in again.

You want to see an insult to the Welsh? See the post immediately above this.

Clyde Radcliffe posted:Love me some rarebit. First one looks too much like cheese. Come back with the plasticky, bright-orange government-subsidized pasteurized processed American-style cheese food product and we'll talk. Second one I've actually tried when I ran out of bread one time. Not great, I'd have been better served cooking actual rice and melting the cheese into that.

Also sodium citrate is reasonably widely available now so we could be in a golden age of rarebits if not for the aftermath of Windsor McCay (the American responsible for the Dream of the Rarebit Fiend and Little Nemo comic strips) can you imagine a feta + gouda + pecorino blend oozing onto some toast before getting broiled? with just enough mustard for contrast? poo poo this is going to gently caress up my dreams later just from the conceptualization

I tried making sodium citrate a while ago because I had citric acid and baking soda, but I had forgotten everything I once knew about high school chemistry so I'm pretty sure I made a supersaturated solution of some kind or just used too much because the broken cheddar mixture I put it into ended up being bright green and tasting real weird. Not sure how I didn't think to document it for the thread to laugh at

Anyway on the subject of Celtic x-on-toast variations, everyone should eat Scotch woodcock:  If that's not enough anchovies don't worry, you spread anchovy paste all over the toast before putting the eggs on. Probably AFP for somebody

Walmart, they'll put anything back on the shelf. I once bought a sealed PS4 game from Walmart and inside was a burnt DVD of 18 Again starring Zac Effron. Yes, I am aware that in my case someone had access to a shrink wrapping machine
