- Webster's Unabridged Dictionary (1913)
RAREBIT, n. A Welsh rabbit, in the speech of the humorless, who point
out that it is not a rabbit. To whom it may be solemnly explained
that the comestible known as toad-in-a-hole is really not a toad, and
that riz-de-veau a la financiere is not the smile of a calf prepared
after the recipe of a she banker.
