Quickest dish · 12 min
Welsh rarebit
Cheese sauce on toast, not a grilled cheese. Worcestershire is the seasoning. Don't scramble the cheddar.
Quickest drink · 6 min
Beet Mary
A Mary with beet. Lime, heat, Worcestershire. Vodka if you mean a drink; without it it is still brunch. Salt the rim. Don't make soup.
