A type of fare or food item historically associated with cheap or common provisions, possibly using felt or felted materials in preparation or serving.
A compound of 'felty' and 'fare' (meaning food or provisions). This appears to be an archaic or dialectal term with uncertain origins, possibly from Middle English commercial or domestic vocabulary.
Some words in English are so rare or regionally specific that lexicographers debate whether they were genuine common terms or merely literary inventions—feltyfare might be one of these fascinating ghosts of vocabulary that appeared once or twice in old texts and then vanished.
