• ~As it has been written..Mary Cameron who lived near Glamorgan made the first Welsh rabbit in the 7th Century. The fame of it spread so that her name has been remembered.
• In those days as now the Welsh were great lovers of wild rabbit.When a hunter returned empty handed after promising his wife a fat rabbit for supper it was indeed a sorry state of affairs.
• So it happened one day to Arthur Cameron husband of Mary.She saw Arthur coming over the fields with nothing to show for his hunting.She quickly cut up some strong yellow cheese in a pot near the fire,added some bacon drippings and a pint of ale.
• When Arthur arrived home she served him this wonderful sauce on freshly toasted bread.
• This recipe was so good that it was not long before it was used all over England,Scotland and Ireland.
• The recipe was refined a bit as follows by the Tudor rulers but is basically Mary Cameron's recipe.~
• ~Welsh rabbit never contains such things as worcestershire sauce,eggs,cayenne pepper or curry powder~
