Gaddammit Stamets I asked you not to take pictures of me after I smoked a bowl and have the munchies. I’m not liable for any of my actions
You can but if you don’t want soup a marinara sauce is also a good choice for dipping your grilled cheese sandwich into

What is the tomato sauce for?
Bruh
It’s tomato soup. The natural companion of a toasted cheese sanga
Tomato soup is disgusting. Keep that heated ketchup shit away from my grilled cheese.
Sorry, I’m not yankee. What you do with it? Pass it on bread? Before or after toasting?
It’s important to note that American style grilled cheese absolutely requires the bread to be toasted in fat, not dry.
This is traditionally done by smearing one side of each bread slice in softened butter before grilling the assembled sandwich on a (ideally cast iron, in my opinion) pan with the buttered sides facing out. Some alternative fats include mayonnaise and (my favorite) bacon grease from American-style bacon.
The resulting toast shouldn’t look like it was made in a toaster, it should look something like this:
The sandwich should still be greasy enough to leave a thin film of butter on your fingers when picked up.
Also, if not using American “cheese” which has emulsifiers added to make it melt well, it’s important to include a cheese that melts well, typically paired with a second, slightly more flavorful cheese like cheddar.

Cut the toasted cheese into a triangle by cutting corner to corner, then dip it in the tomato soup directly before consuming. Much like chips and salsa.
Hm. Seems good, I will try that someday. Can I use tomato sauce instead of tomato soup?
Yes; and since everything is tastier than tomato soup, tomato sauce will be better too.

That’ll taste fine, but it’s not the same experience, so I recommend the soup.
After a root canal I was told to stick to softer meals. I was recommended tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwich.
I got a fancy feta cheese tomato soup, sourdough bread and 3 kinds of cheese.
Instead of dipping the sandwich I cubed it and dropped it into the soup.
It was heavenly. Reminded me of a Gourmet pizza.
The consistency might be a little thick, but you can thin it with some milk to get it smooth.
You have friends over, right? … RIGHT???
No one wants to admit they ate 19 grilled cheese.
The first 2 dont even count
Meal prep
I thought this was /c/trees
My apologies. I wouldn’t mind a joint right about now.
Guilty
Ok Danny
I see nothing wrong here
Except there’s not nearly enough cheese in those grilled cheeses.
Looks like someone has lost control of their life
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.
Well you can just fuck right off.
What aren’t you a fan of grilled cheeses?
Yeah and what you’ve described is a grilled ham and cheese sandwich with onions
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.
A little bit of garlic powder and it’s like eating grilled cheese and garlic bread at the same time 🤤
