Jon Townsend brings us an 18th-century recipe for toasted cheese, or Welsh rabbit. I'm all in for that! But we watch Jon for more than recipes.

Well. I was born and bred in Wales and we always called that a Welsh Rarebit. But maybe someone took a bunny and murdered it, sliced the fur off and dissected the inner most parts and used it to flavour what is, really, cheese on toast. But why ? Why would anyone want to kill a wabbit ? They are, after all, god's chosen ones and are truly multi dimensional.

It's not just called rarebit in Wales. The rest of the civilised world does too.
