This is fascinating. I’d seen these foods mentioned in books many times, but never happened to see pictures. So Welsh Rabbit is a spicy version of cheese toast? I always thought it was some kind of game dish.

Suet and syrup? Argh. I guess they needed a lot more calories a few generations ago!

Interesting story about Hot Cross Bun’s and the law passed by Elizabeth I. I’m guessing that law is no longer in use, but I suppose it created the tradition that still exists.
