This may be the oldest of all cooked cheese dishes, and it makes a marvelous lunch. Substitute cream for the beer if you wish, but never call it a “Rarebit.”

1/4 teaspoon dry mustard
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup beer, fresh or stale
1 pound sharp cheddar cheese
8 slices buttered toast
Instructions
Mix the seasonings and add the beer. Put in a double boiler and heat until the beer is hot.
