It is said that Charles Dickens himself enjoyed this dish at Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese pub in London. I did a little pub crawling myself many years ago in the hedge lined countryside around Henley when my son competed there with his school rowing team. I remember thick Stilton Soup and Welsh Rarebit (sometimes called Rabbit, but that's another story). This particular version I reconstructed from one that an old friend made for me one Sunday at my house in Marin even longer ago. He was a solid Anglophile who loved tweeds and vacationing in the Bahamas.
