beer, alcoholic beverage produced by extracting raw materials with water, boiling (usually with hops), and fermenting. In some countries beer is defined by law—as in Germany, where the standard ingredients, besides water, are malt (kiln-dried germinated barley), hops, and yeast.

Well, I am not making it up. He was indeed an Irish friend of mine at the time who told me that joke.

It's like the Vietnamese friend who asked me if I knew how they named their children. I said no of course, and his response was; We throw the silverware up and whatever noise it makes is the child's new name. I totally lost it on that one, because I was not even expecting a joke at all. 🤣

Thanks for that! It clears up quite a few Asian naming mysteries...

Me too. It’s all I drink (Extra Stout).

I saw that book on Amazon, and was surprised that it didn’t seem to have a Welsh Rarebit recipe.

But here’s one:

Looks good! I am going to try it. They sell rabbit at the butcher shop although it’s been years since I had any.

[Jamestown1630]

LOL! (There’s no rabbit in rarebit, and you know it...)

But my husband says rabbit itself is very good...

Pulling your leg, my wife read it as rabbit and I went with it.

I think it’s often been pronounced ‘Welsh Rabbit’ :-)
