Although there is a similar recipe for "English Monkey" in the 1896 Fannie Farmer cookbook, it is listed right after the "Welsh Rarebit" recipe, suggesting that Mrs. Morgan also understood this dish as a Welsh-American answer to the original slur.

Another interesting feature of this dish is that it does not contain beer or ale. This is probably because Prohibition was still in effect when the recipe was written, but may be because many Welsh-American families came from southern Wales and were non-drinking Methodists.

1 tablespoon butter
1 cup bread crumbs
1/2 pound American cheese
1 cup whole milk
2 eggs
saltines

Equipment: skillet, cup, small bowl

1. Cut cheese into small dice.
2. Break eggs into a cup.
3. Melt butter in skillet, 
4. Add bread crumbs and brown them
	in the butter.
5. Add cheese and when it is about
	melted, add milk.
6. Stir over medium heat until it
	thickens and comes to a boil.
7. Pour in the eggs, "stir and remove
	from fire." [It is unclear if
	you are supposed to leave the
	eggs whole, break them, or
	stir them into a custard. All
	three ways would taste good.]
8. Add salt to taste
