Awakenings: Is 'rarebit' rabbit?

Awakenings: Is 'rarebit' rabbit? | Human Interest | Scoop.it

"September 3 is... National Welsh Rarebit Day
#NationalWelshRarebitDay

The image looks like ooey, gooey melted cheese on sourdough bread, doesn't it? There is a 'secret' ingredient and the 'rarebit' is NOT rabbit!


Welsh Rarebit is a traditional Welsh dish. If you are into experimenting with an international dish, this is probably one of the easiest to prepare. Before going any further, a bit of clarification is necessary since "rarebit" actually is a Welsh term for "rabbit". Much the same as mock turtle soup having no turtle in it, the term 'rarebit' is not to be interpreted as a rare bit of rabbit. Welsh Rarebit does NOT contain rabbit. None. Nada. Zilch."

Awakenings: Bock Beer & Ravioli

Awakenings: Bock Beer & Ravioli | Human Interest | Scoop.it
Personally I never quite cultivated a taste for beer. Thus, there are many, many beers on the market around the world with which I am not familiar at all. For example, Bock Beer. Never heard of it 'til today upon discovering it has its own day! Bock Beer is of German origin first brewed in the town of Einbeck in the 14th century. Not sure who or why this day is celebrated but here it is - a day dedicated to Bock Beer. [Read all the way through...there is more to celebrate on this day!]

March 20 is...
Bock Beer Day

Skuuppilehdet's insight:
If you are not a beer drinker, then consider cooking with beer! Yum! Don't even like the idea of cooking with beer? Then serve Ravioli instead!

Imagine a warm brew of lager so heady you had to plunge a straw through the thick surface scum to get to the fermented liquor below.

Determining recipes for some of the world's oldest preserved beers | Human Interest | Scoop.it
Some breweries have taken to resurrecting the flavors of ages past. Adventurous beer makers are extrapolating recipes from clues that archeologists have uncovered from old and even ancient brews found at historical sites. Now scientists have analyzed some of the oldest preserved beer samples from an 1840s' shipwreck to try to provide insight into how they were made.
