You’ve got to add some ham and onion in there to make it a true grilled cheese.

If you add anything other than cheese, it stops being a grilled cheese. You wouldn't call a tuna melt a grilled cheese sandwich, would you?

Don't get me wrong, I love melts, but I also call them by their proper name.

It’s a grilled cheese with tuna.

Anything other than cheese on a grilled cheese makes it a panini, not a grilled cheese.

We don't call it a grilled cheese in the UK. It would be a toastie, even if you added ham it would still be a toastie. A panini is something else I believe.

I think a toastie and a panini are very similar, but a panini typically uses a stiffer bread and the toastie is kind of sealed on the sides. A grilled cheese (US) is typically a cheese sandwich toasted in a pan, so kind of somewhere in between a toastie and a panini

I can get behind these rules to be honest. I think panini would be a ciabatta or something like that.

I hadn’t realised that the American grilled cheese was basically a sandwich toasted and you’re quite right to point out toasties are sealed all around.

I wonder do Americans eat toasties. I’m reluctant to assume your country of origin.

If we do we don't call em that, what makes a toastie?

[-] snugglesthefalse@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 month ago

It's 100% based on the bread. If I ask for a ham and cheese panini and get a regular toastie I'm gonna be upset

[-] Tikiporch@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Well you can just fuck right off.

What aren’t you a fan of grilled cheeses?

[-] LowKeyLooker@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

Yeah and what you’ve described is a grilled ham and cheese sandwich with onions

[-] SantasMagicalComfort@piefed.world 0 points 1 month ago

Do you get off on policing what people call their sandwiches and gatekeeping the ingredients in a sandwich you’ll never eat?

Sounds good it’s your life so I’m not going to tell you how to live it.

[-] LowKeyLooker@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

you were literally gate keeping grilled cheese sandwiches with your ham and cheese comment so I do enjoy it in this case yeah

I will think of you when I make my next grilled cheese without ham and onions

Then again when I make one with ham and onions to see if it’s worth the fuss but that’s the last time damn it

[-] SantasMagicalComfort@piefed.world 2 points 1 month ago

You’ll think of me again that night and from time to time after that as well.

[-] justaman123@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Do we have a new rollie pollie discourse evolving? Where you from that your grilled cheese needs ham and onion?

[-] 0ops@piefed.zip 2 points 1 month ago

A little bit of garlic powder and it's like eating grilled cheese and garlic bread at the same time 🤤
