General / Off-Topic The grilled cheese of sandwiches

Finally .. a thread of actual importance! [up]
A sprinkle of curry powder is a cheeky and contraversial seasoning?


In that case I think you might like Welsh rarebit. (No rabbits are hurt in the making of.)
Alternatively before toasting the cheese. Thinly slice, using sharp scissors, a little of your favourite chilli over the cheese.
 
Has to be Red Leicester cheese as well. Best melted cheese - EVER


There's a cheesy-click-bait-web-flame-war in the making...

Sounds good. I usually go for a basic American Cheese though. Melts fast and gives the sandwich the familiar flavor I remember as a kid. Grilled in butter and pressed.

The only American Cheese I've ever liked is Monterey Jack.

Monterey Jack is not American Cheese. It might be an american cheese but it is not American Cheese. American Cheese ... isn't legally (in the United States) "authentic" cheese. Its a processed cheese but that is why it melts so perfectly.

I know but I could not resist the link. ;)

Personally, I don't like processed cheese but I don't want to start a flame war because the French will jump in then the Dutch with their old cheese. It goes on! :x

That I can appreciate. I have a longing for, what they call in England, Scotch pies. I can buy them here but they are not the same. They are not peppery enough and the meat is high quality “named meat”. As Terry Pratchett’s CMOT Dibbler’s pies feature in Rincewind’s dreams.

Mmm! In the UK "grilled" is cooked with a dry heat, no fat is used in the cooking. You might say toasted under a grill.
 
As someone who hates - and I mean absolutely detests - cheese, the thought of a grilled cheese sandwich truly turns my stomach.

Funny old world, innit?
 
Got to love a bit of blue. Ported Stilton anyone?

Of course, first you have to catch your cheese.
Don't let it get away!

ps. I live in Gloucester and it's a VERY steep hill.
(First one down gets the truckle of cheese; which can occasionally be sighted amid the mayhem)

A splash of Worcestershire sauce works wonders.

Or a teeny bit of tabasco.

Ham, cheese and branston pickle toasties from a proper toastie machine are a delight.

But I'm stuck in the US, where there is no proper ham, proper cheese, or proper toastie machines :( I can find branston pickle though :D

Oddly, that is also true in the US, aside from the sandwiches.

Some people and restaurants even use mayonnaise!

+rep for the Pratchett.

Funny, someone just gave me a jar of that!

I'm supposed to put it in ham sandwiches?

What is a toastie machine?!
 
I seem to be putting on a lot of weight since signing up to the forums.
In fact, I'm gonna have a grilled cheese sandwich. Garnished with a burger.[yesnod]
