Notes

The bread should be sturdy and crusty; avoid thin white sliced bread to prevent sogginess.
Dark ale like Guinness is recommended for a deep, rich flavor, but light or pale ale can be used.
For a non-alcoholic version, substitute the ale with chicken or vegetable broth.
Buck Rarebit is a variation topped with a fried or poached egg.
If you have a wheat allergy, soy sauce or tamari can be used as a substitute for Worcestershire sauce.
