It's about the crunch, the caramelization/ maillard reactions, the fat as someone else pointed out, and the warmer temp makes the cheese and other flavors more pronounced, as well as more satisfying. There is something about eating warm food that hits up more endorphin receptor sites (I can't be bothered to find it now) So the only thing missing is Ham or Canadian bacon. REgular bacon would do in a pinch, but this is a case where Ham is clearly indicated. Tomato? Meh, if it's a lousy tomato is fucks the whole thing up. If it's a good tomato, the whole thing can be sublime, if a bit messy.

So, tulip, if you like dairy go for it.

The first grilled cheese one experiences should be from supermarket white bread, salted butter, and American cheese.

After that one can branch out into whole wheat and additional ingredients and such. But one should experience the raw form of it first.

Also, tomato soup.

That's the comfort 1-2 combo. Arnold's white bread made awesome toast and grilled cheese sammies.

fuck the dumbshit.

if you're gonna eat fried bread, cheese, and bacon....you might as well include some grilled turkey and tomato. Ordered from Denny's at 2:20 AM after a wild night at the local bar where you stunned the crowd with your karaoke prowess...... it's your best hope of sobering up enough to drive home without getting picked up for a DUI.


I give you the Super Bird:

and if you add bacon to a Chuck Norris sandwich?

Right before you bite it, you get a roundhouse to the face.

you dont Bite it , it bites YOU !!!

15 Creative Grilled Cheese Recipes :yum:

Dude, She's all Vietnamese and everything. I don't know a single, East of India, Asian that eats dairy. Some of my older friends are gacked out by the thought of it, so mad props to Tulip for even considering it. I'd like to see a culinary cage match between Tulip and any other Dwellar (with the exception of Billy if he's still alive)

That's be a PPV powerhouse.

(All respect to your cuisine, Tulip, even if I did think you were Taiwanese)

Toast. Butter. Marmalade (ginger marmalade is even better). Slice of cheese. All under grill. Allow to cool a little before nom to avoid burning the roof of your mouth clean off on superhot cheese and marmalade.
