Grilled Cheese Appreciation Thread

[FrostedxB]

Made grilled cheese with my girlfriend a few weeks ago, used normal white bread with fresh white american and shredded cheddar cheese. I loves me some grilled cheese sandwichs

Made grilled cheese with my girlfriend

D:

You're supposed to use bread!

 

[DEATHMASTER]

Eugh! Sounds soggy.

Not at all, unless you consider the melty cheese :bounce:
Also pretty nice when u flatten some of it.

 

[Ennui]

One of the few foods I'm incredibly picky about is cheese, because I grew up on amazing cheeses. I completely agree.

If that's individual slices of "American Cheese" labeled as cheddar I may have to start thinking less of ol' Ennui.

It's cheddar :arms: Sliced, processed cheddar, but not kraft, not singles, not "American" cheese.

You bastards are going to force me to go spend like $10 on cheese to make a legit sandwich.

 

[Raziaar]

Eugh! Sounds soggy.

And Raziaar -- your commitment to the cheese despite your biological shortcomings are commendable. Commendable to the point where I might say you are literally tolerant of lactose. Bravo, good sir.

Hell yeah!

I seem to have developed my lactose intolerance in adulthood. Didn't have it as a kid.

Also toastie makers are indeed the way to go KA, buttering the outsides of the two slices as Darkside described.

Thank you! Also, if you use fatty enough cheese, the oils render through the bread, nicely lubricating the outside of the bread, so you don't even need to use butter! I use Vogel's Original Mixed Grain Bread, a New Zealand icon of sorts. I've had some bread in Canada and America, and I've got to be honest, it was godawful. Hopefully the bread Ennui recommends isn't any of the saccharin, sickly bread I had over there, but there's nothing like biting into well-toasted Vogels.

Here's a small photo essay.

Vogel's Bread! The Best Bread!

My rather excellent toasted sandwich maker.

A fine cheese and some excellent chutney, for a great start to any day!

****ing great cheese-slice.

Clearly this is not enough cheese. I added more later.

Macro porn.

This image signals the passing of time hahahah witty right

Unffff /cums

A perfect match!

Cheers! (Yes it's blurry)

 

[Eejit]

That's one nice looking toastie I like to add a bit of sliced ham, beef or chorizo etc. to my cheese though.

Hmm looks like your toastie-maker would be inadequate for the task of Chocolate Toasties though. When it melts it tends to go everywhere if you aren't using one of the machines which pinches the sides and corners of the bread together.

 

[SimpleAssassin]

****in ell i love cheese and ham toasties. Been ages since i had one

 

[Tyguy]

I have to give my 2 cents...i dislike grilled cheese. I also don't like cheese on a steak sub but I do like cheese. It's probably because I was born with an allergy to dairy and by the time I could drink milk I basically already decided on all my favorite foods.

I never drink milk by itself by I do have it with cereal. I used to have it with sobe...:x

 

[PJ]

I don't believe no one's mentioned 'Lea and Perrins' (worchester sauce) yet. It's a must have for an open cheese on toast done under the grill.

I also have a toasted sandwich maker, and it toasts a shell like pattern into the bread, and compresses the edges to protect the melted goodness from escaping. It also compresses diagonally down the centre too, which automatically cuts it in half, so you can tear it in ha--OH GOD I GOT GO MAKE TOASTY SANDVICH NAW.

EDIT: also, extra-mature cheddar only. Americrap is not cheese, but plastic. Swiss cheeses are good too. I have never had brie in a tosted sandwich - someone do this and upload pics. I LOVE BRIE.

 

[DEATHMASTER]

Alright u bums, I made some stovetop with whitebread and mild chedder. Wasn't as flavorful but it tasted a lot more natural (as it says on the cheese block package). I'm going shoppin tomorrow and will get some wheat bread and some block of cheese that looks good. Maybe something u ****ers recommended. Thanks a shitton.

 

[Raziaar]

I'm real disappointed with cheddar. I grew up with mild cheddar most of my life. The shit is BLAND. Even sharp cheddar to me is bland. I wish there was a cheap cheese like that I could buy but had some intense cheese flavor, so when used in cheese sauces and stuff it would require less.

Pepperjack cheese is an awesome cheese for use on grilled cheese. It tastes alright when cold, but when melted the flavor is even stronger.

 

[VirusType2]

Cheddar can be good, but it's kind of potent, and I don't think I could eat two sandwiches of it. Despite what you foreigners think, American cheese is good in that respect.

I tried Muenster a few times. I can't really find a use for it. Same with pepperjack. I have something that claims to be queso cheese (translated as cheese cheese -llol), I don't know much about it other than it tastes great for making quesodillas obviously.

I'd say my favorite is Swiss, followed by Borden's (brand) American. These are the two most useful cheeses in my kitchen.

Please explain how you use these obscure cheeses. What do you make with them?

HOW TO MAKE A SMORE WITH A MICROWAVE

These are your ingredients: a bar of hersheys chocolate, two square graham crackers, and a marshmallow.

Place 1/4 (or 1/2 if you're fat) of the chocolate on a graham cracker.

Place the marshmallow on top of the chocolate.

Place the second cracker on the marshmallow.

Place the entire thing in a microwave.

Set it to 20 seconds (or more! It's up to you).

If the smore is unbalanced this happens!

Your completed smore.

Enjoy!

 

[jet_porkins]

THATS NOT GRILLED CHEESE TAKE YOUR CRAP SMORE AND GET OUT OF THIS THREAD

edit: nice acne.

 

[Dog--]

That smore looks so ****ing good.

 

[Sheepo]

I'm about to go eat another one.

 

[Robert-]

Goddamnit, now I want smores.

 

[G(ordon)-man]

Ugh, I hate chocolate. Also, I might post my own secret recipe today. STAY TUNED FOR SOME MO....

 

[Raziaar]

I haven't had smores in ages. I want one too.

 

[MuToiD_MaN]

Smores suck. They're totally dehydrating, sticky, uneatable garbage. The final step of your process should have been to throw it in the trash and go make a grilled cheese sammitch.

 

[Tacoeaterguy]

Smores suck. They're totally dehydrating, sticky, uneatable garbage.

Yeah that's what water is for. After I eat anything like that, it immediately makes me thirsty as hell. I have to agree with you though, they are garbage. Delicious garbage.

 

[Dog--]

The sticky messy retarded mess they leave is what makes them so good.

Kinda like your mom.

 

[Tacoeaterguy]

Kinda like my dog ooze bagels. Home made of course. I'll be posting pics on how to make those tommorow.

 

[Raziaar]

You say the weirdest things.

 

[Tacoeaterguy]

No I'm being serious. I am going to make these bagels, whether you want me to or not.

 

[Eejit]

Yeah ok cool have fun.


Seriously, Hersheys chocolate? Fail harder pls America.

 

[Sheepo]

Oh wow. Grow some taste testicles. I'm sure you have a perfectly good eurofag alternative, but that doesn't give you the right to trash Hershey's brah.

 

[Eejit]

I've visited Americay and tasted Hershey's, have you done the same for european chocolates? Hershey's is poopiedung.

 

[BabyHeadCrab]

itt: I'm a goddamn hypocrite. I've definitely eaten several slices of cheap-o Kraft "American Cheese" in one sitting in the past.

 

[Gemma]

I've visited Americay and tasted Hershey's, have you done the same for european chocolates? Hershey's is poopiedung.

Galaxy is some pretty amazing chocolate.

And I'm not sure what a smore is but it looks pretty disgusting :\

 

[Darkside55]

I've visited Americay and tasted Hershey's, have you done the same for european chocolates? Hershey's is poopiedung.

I have tasted chocolate from around the world. I've eaten chocolate from France, Sweden, Spain. I have eaten chocolate from Central America, the land of Mayan Gold. I've eaten the finest chocolates from African cacao that are $30 per little f*cking square. Can you say the same?

And you know what?

I STILL ENJOY HERSHEY'S CHOCOLATE. GET OUT OF HERE YOU AIN'T NO CHOCOLATE CONNOISSEUR. MY TASTE OF CHOCOLATE SHITS ALL OVER YOURS. WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT EATING A PIECE OF CHOCOLATE THAT IS COATED IN ACTUAL GOLD FLAKES? GET OUT OF HERE SON.

And I'm not sure what a smore is but it looks pretty disgusting

You get the hell out of here too, woman.



Also back to the ACTUAL TOPIC, I made grilled cheese last night. It was delicious. Naturally.

 

[Farrowlesparrow]

I had six slices of cheese on toast today.

 

[TheValveNinja]

I had a big slice of the grilled chees yesterday at company's canteen. Here in the Czech Republic grilled cheese (without bread!) is something like national food, everyone loves that.

HaHa.. Real "Grilled Cheese"

 

[Tacoeaterguy]

Ok, as promised. My homemade bagels.

Spoiler

Start out with the oldest bread you can find. It must be stale, and must have some mold.

Next, hit that homey up with some trailmix, and lunch meat.

Now, cover that monster of a bagel in hot sauce.

Next, find a bottle of ganaria and pour it on.

Put it in the toaster.

Put in the calculations.

And, enjoy. Tastes great.

 

[Darkside55]

That's...special. I think you might be onto something with the trail mix and the lunchmeat though. I'll give it a whirl.

 

[Dog--]

Looks f*cked.

 

[VirusType2]

What's that big brown spot? ****, that looks like one sick sandwich

 

[Tacoeaterguy]

Its some animal crap I found in the yard.

edit: Its a bagel god dammit, not a sammich.

 

[Dog--]

This is a bagel.

You just made a sandwich. And you didn't do a very good job, I mean the bread isn't even sandwiching the stuff inside.

NOW MAKE IT AGAIN WITH SOME PIZAZZ THIS TIME.
