okay. a weird thing about English is when people say "I'll have a water" similar to "a grilled cheese". why don't they say the full thing? "a cup of water" or "a grilled cheese sandwich" same thing with coffee etc.

saying "a" using an unit really bothers me

Crap. I can't believe I missed that.

When I make a shitpost, I screenshot it instead of exporting, and I make sure to include a couple pixels of some different background color on one or two of the sides for the authentic feel. Sadly, the screenshot program auto hides the cursor, so I can only dream of such greatness.

Why aren't you using a really old phone and taking a photo of your screen like the rest of us?

Nevermind Maillard a real grilled cheese is where you get distracted and burn the hell out of one side then undercook the second side because of you keep heating it all the cheese would ooze out the sides and burn in the pan

Your pan is too hot! oozing cheese that crisps up on the sides is *chefs kiss*

Aussie here, I've always considered a cheese toasty to be a cheese sandwich that's been toasted in a jaffle iron. A toasted cheese sandwich, however, would be more similar to a grilled cheese.

Not sure if this was just the nomenclature used by my family or is in line with what others call them, though.

Cool, sounds a lot like a grilled cheese overall.

Way back in the day, when all we had was a space heater, my mom would sometimes crank the oven and then leave the door open. Just another space heater, but in the kitchen.

Often, before school, she would put a few slices of cheese on bread and then put them on a cookie sheet under the broiler (overhead heating element in an oven, in case that's not immediately clear). The cheese melts, the top of the bread toasts, and the underside steams a little bit.

You can eat them in slices, fold them over, or put two melty cheese bread slices together to make a sandwich, which was my favorite. It was one of the only things I knew how to cook for a long while, and I have fond memories of it.

Problem is that I never really knew what to call it. Mom called it cheese bread, but I never really thought that fit. Given my penchant for making sandwiches out of them, I eventually started calling them baked cheese sandwiches. I was hoping maybe cheese toasty would be the thing, but the search continues.

See around where i live, we call it a cheese toasty. We had class debates about if its a cheese toasty or a grilled cheese. Most people say a cheese toasty is when you take a pan on a stove or micowave. Then take 2 pieces of bread a sandwitch the cheese in the middle, then "toast it" sometimes including butter on the outside of the bread when using a pan. Grilled cheese is when you grill the sandwitch in the same way as toasting except its grilled.

Honestly its just kinda a silly little argument between people, i mean its bread with cheese! But its just fun to see what others call things. Very simular to coke/pop/soda debate.
