rabbit last week to a few friends, who were
enthusiastic in its praises. She confessed
that it was made by the true Welsh for

gave it, as follows; Thick slices of bread,
cut across the whole loaf, spread with a
layer, at least half as thick as the bread,
Of rich cream cheese, crumbled fine. On
top of this was spread evenly "A thin layer
of bacon, chopped very fine According
to taste, sprinkling of pepper was added,

slightly wet the bread, was poured over
the whole The slices prepared were placed
in hot oven and left until the bread was
dried through, the cheese melted and the
bacon crisped. Philadelphia Ledger
