Finally, I found home.
Grilled Cheese
Home to humanity's greatest invention: the almighty grilled cheese sandwich.
My rule of thumb:
Grilled cheese = most or all filling is cheese
Melt = about the same amount of cheese and non-cheese
I like this distinction.
What is the value of these distinctions beyond editorializing a menu?
Well, I think we want to draw the lines between a grilled cheese and a melt because we are in a grilled cheese community.
Feels kind of reddity to focus on such fine distinctions for their own sake, is all.
What is your proposal for a definition of a grilled cheese then so we can distinguish from a melt then?
I have not granted that a definition is desirable. De gustibus nil disputandum and all that, eh?
A free for all type of soul eh? I like ya.
A rebel without a cause, that's me
If you put Mayo on a grilled cheese you are a fucking monster.
You don’t need to put mayo on the inside. Instead of buttering the bread use mayo and see how you like it! It is very good.
Exactly!
