"According to a 14th Century religious text, the Welsh were behaving in an unruly manner in heaven, so in order to make them go away, St. Peter stood outside the gates to heaven and yelled, “Caws pobi!” This translates literally to ‘toasted cheese’ in Welsh. Upon hearing this, the Welsh dashed out of heaven and the Pearly Gates were closed behind them." Excerpt from www.therarewelshbit.com/welsh-rarebit-recipe/
Sadly, I could not find a good illustration of this event in a quick search :(
