For this year, I’ve brought back my original video collaborator, Joe Becwar! It’s always a lot of fun to work with Joe! He always makes the right suggestions to elevate what was already darn good! Haha! 

I loved this movie. The previews didn’t give away how truly remarkable and genius it is. The concept is incredible and the performances are wonderful. This is my favorite of all the Best Picture nominations. 

The imaginary Hitler as a buffoon was quite satisfying and inspired this dish. The history of Welsh Rarebit lies in mockery. The story that makes the most sense is that the Welsh were not allowed to hunt on the lands of nobility so they were left with “Welsh rabbit”… cheese on toast… imaginary rabbit! The word was mottled to “rarebit” and the savory cheese sauce on toast became a beloved dish.

I’ve created it for you in the traditional style, but you can also “fondue it” and dip that bread in, baby! I think I prefer it that way!! Yum!
