Some people spell it rabbit, some spell it rarebit. What's Vincent Price's take on the question? He includes a recipe in the section on England and the introduction addresses that very question. (All of the recipes except for a few in the back for basic sauces, doughs etc. get a paragraph introduction.) Go ahead an click on the image to bring up a version that should be large enough to read. He does agree with me about milk-based rarebit. Never!
Apropos of nothing, I was listening to a replay of a podcast (The Horror) on which two episodes of The Price of Fear were playing. In the second of the two, the conceit is that Mr Price was doing background work for a book on psychology and criminal madness but, given a troubling experience, decides not to follow through and instead writes a book of cookery. I thought of you.
ReplyDeleteWait, was Johnny Dollar involved? I had just discovered yesterday that Vincent Price appeared in a later Johnny Dollar story and I could swear the title was The Price of Fear. This bears further investigation.
ReplyDeleteTangentially, after you had mentioned Canticle for Leibowitz, I tracked down the 1981 BBC dramatization which I plan on listening to vacation next week.
