Okay, you know it's real when Stouffer's makes it.  And for those who want to explor the inner chef, here's the recipe courtesy of Food Network

And lastly, but the real reason for this post, a literary homage to the dish courtesy of Vicki Loebel; a tongue in cheek play on words that will entertain and delight you.

Wow the recipe sounds really good. Believe it or not, I always thought it was Welsh Rabbit. LOL! Never saw it in the store...not that I was looking for it.

I'm wondering if this Stouffer's is a European product because I've never seen it either. It sounds good, I think I'll make some. Actually it reminds me a little of a Kentucky Hot Brown; for that the cheese sauce goes over turkey on toast and is topped by bacon and tomato. That is a fabulously delicious thing.

What? No toasted almonds on top? I like this recipe though. I get to drink the leftover beer. Xp

My Great Aunt used to take me to the Stouffer's restaurant when I was a teenager where they serve Welsh Rarebit (with toasted almonds). I couldn't get enough of it. It was served over very crisp toast points. I can find the frozen Rarebit at any market that sells Stouffer's frozen products. Their factory is nearby in Cleveland, Ohio.

If you find it at your grocers. DO NOT look at the fat content. I'm pretty sure you'd put the product back.

Kentucky Hot Brown sounds great too. You realize you're making me hungry!

I only eat turkey carved fresh off a turkey breast. For some reason, turkey in any other form like deli meat, or even the frozen turkey breasts. Ick. So I guess I won't be trying to make that dish.

I don't make a turkey for Thanksgiving, and if I go to my cousin's, I rarely am offered left overs to take home.
Though the deli does make roasted half turkey breasts around that time of year, so maybe I can get one of those. The holiday will be here before we know it, huh?

Toasted almonds... not sure I would want that, but we do tend to love what we grew up with. I have never seen this in a store, so your story piques my curiosity as to why.
