I'd suggest a cheese sandwich grilled with whatever is still a grilled cheese sandwich.

The important part is the grilling of the bread and the melting of the cheese (any kind of cheese, or combination of cheeses - for God's sake let's not get into people claiming a grilled cheese made with the 'wrong' king of cheese isn't a grilled cheese and needs a special new name), not the fat used for the grilling (in my opinion, obviously).

So IMO butter is legit. Mayo is legit. Olive oil is legit. Coconut oil. Peanut oil. Vegetable oil. Et frigging cetera.

We don't need different names for the same sandwich just because the fat used for grilling is different. Some might prefer one, some another. That's not the point!

Maybe scrambled eggs made on a flat grill needs a different name that scrambled eggs made in a skillet, and scrambled eggs made in a saucepan needs a different name than scrambled eggs cooked in a non-stick fry pan. The all the different fats that could be used cooking scrambled eggs. We could have an infinite number of 'names' for the idea of scrambled eggs.

And a grilled cheese is good, but a grilled cheese with tomato or bacon or mustard is not a grilled cheese? Or is it a grilled cheese plus? I don't mind specific variations having their own names, but it is more to important to think about the ingredients than what sort of pan was used.

Is a coffee with cream and sugar not a coffee?

Then why is it known as a 'regular' coffee?

Proud,

Iirc the other thread also had a discussion about where the line was between grilled cheese sandwich with stuff, and grilled sandwich with cheese

It is if you put the mayo on the outside of your cheese sandwich and fry it up on the flat top grill.

But butter is better.

And butter and parmesan is awesome. Especially on a grilled ham and cheese sandwich.

That sandwich is called a grilled cheese with ham.

The ^^^^^^ three of you are delusional. Mayo with bread and cheese is a monstrosity, not a grilled cheese. Still waiting on 100 restaurants answer.

Patty melts, tuna melts, etc. Are not grilled cheese sammies.

75%+ would not use butter, buddy. I'll guess 40% for gc.

digressing for a moment from the grilled cheese debate, here's another cheap luxury.

turn the broiler setting of your oven on. pour a decent amount of canned grated parmesan into a bowl (see my previous posts about a low budget alternative to the almighty kraft). add a little bit of mayo at a time and stir until the mixture just barely sticks together, then stop. dice up a few green onion tops, mix them in, and spread the mixture onto some slices of bread (i like sourdough, but all types work, experiment for yourself if you prefer the bread to be pre-toasted or not).

put the mixture topped bread slices on a pan under the broiler and keep a constant eye on them. once they start to turn brown and bubble they will quickly go from yum to dumb. pull when crispy brown and enjoy!

Have you met Rexx?

After reading this thread today, I made a grilled cheese sando with pramesan on the outside.

Results: great success

Any chance we can move the grilled cheese conversation out of this thread? I like grilled cheese just as much as the next guy but my god has it taken this thread far off of cheap luxuries.

Grilled cheese, pasta, soup and so on are great cheap luxuries.

Campbell's bean soup is a cheap luxury for sure

Reminded me that I really want to try this sometime.

I consider libraries a cheap(free) luxury as yay books. Lots and lots of books plus magazines and dvds. You can't really go wrong, well except get them back late then there are fines. I am an avid reader and use the library frequently.
Also herbal teas fresh from the garden, hot or cold, totally delicious and so good for you!

haven't been to a library in years, but once upon a time I would check out cds and dvds and rip them to disk. talk about a cheap (free) luxury.
I was also exposed to many artists I likely wouldn't have known otherwise.

Everyday scams thread is over there ==>

Seattle's main liberry cost over $150 million a couple years ago, Austin's is going to be over 200 million. That is not cheap primarily used by hobo to beat off and ****.

I didn't need to see your name to know this post was from you.
You sound like a very unhappy person, good luck with your life improving.

fixed yer bitching

Was there also mayo, or butter, or something else, or nothing else, or some combination of the aforementioned, on the outside?

Yes, I appreciated the link.

I had no idea that the grilled cheese sandwich was the third rail of the 2p2 message board!

It has never occurred to me to use mayo for a grilled cheese which is odd since I haven't made a burger without a mayo grilled bun in over a decade.

Cheese is a cheap luxury.

Actual cheese - not what Americans call cheese.

Cheese is not cheap. I just paid $6 for about 4oz of some type of blueberry cheese last night.

Do you mean the stuff that smells bad?
