2. Welsh Rabbit (yes we called it that) was a favorite in our house- especially New Year's Eve

My mother made amazing "Rabbit" using this amazing extra-extra sharp cheddar that my dad aged for 3 years in the basement, with a little medium cheddar added in to keep it smooth.

We ate it on saltines with pickles and onion for accent.

It has been a very long time since I have eaten it, but I do know how to make it. My sisters and I all agree that we can't make it as good as hers!

I always thought we called it "rabbit" because we were in the South. It is fun to find out it was originally called that in Wales!!!

Now I want to make one.
