Welsh rarebit Blushing Bunny. A version of Welsh rarebit called "" is traditionally served in the French Nord-pas-de-Calais region. The first recorded reference to the dish was "Welsh rabbit" in 1725, but the origin of the term is unknown. There is some suggestion that Welsh Rabbit derives from a South Wales Valleys staple, in which a generous lump of cheese is placed into a mixture of beaten eggs and milk, seasoned with salt and pepper, and baked in the oven until the egg mixture has firmed and the cheese has melted. Onion may be added and the mixture would be eaten with
Texas toast to be the originator of the onion ring. Texas toast may have been first created in 1946 at the Pig Stand in Denton, Texas, after a bakery order for thicker slices of bread resulted in slices too thick for the toaster and a cook, Wiley W. W. Cross, suggested buttering and grilling them as a solution. Another Pig Stand cook in Beaumont, Texas claimed he created the idea of grilling the bread. W.W.W. Cross is also credited for combining the Texas toast with the chicken fried steak to create Kirby's Pig Stand's famous Chicken Fried Steak Sandwich. Texas toast Texas
