It’s like turkey bacon. When I want *that* it’s fine. It’s its own thing. But holy hell don’t try to give it to me when I want BACON. It’s like that with grilled cheese sandies.

American cheese that you can cut - not Kraft slices - is absolutely delicious. It is in fact one of the best sandwich cheeses, possibly second only to Gouda.

That is like, a non-sugary Monte Cristo minus ham. Delicious, but it is a deep fried cheese sandwich, not a GRILLED cheese sandwich.

Seriously. I am all for gourmet food, but that ain’t a grilled cheese. A grilled cheese is cheese, bread, butter or mayo if you are Martha. That is it.

Thank you! I just said this downthread. It is a huge pet peeve of mine-adding bacon to a grilled cheese makes it an entirely different sandwich- and that’s ok! Just don’t call it a grilled cheese.

Au contrare, mon Cheri. Brioche, whole grain mustard, brie, grilled thin sliced apple and wash it down with champagne.

It’s the only thing American cheese is good for.

If you add meat to a grilled cheese it ceases to be a grilled cheese sandwich and is simply a sandwich. Kinda destroying the whole point.

Totally agree. In fact, making grilled cheese is the only situation in which using American cheese is not only acceptable, but preferable.

get the fuck outta here

Blasphemy. Apples do not belong on grilled cheese.

Counterpoint: American cheese makes the BEST grilled cheese, and you are wrong!

You’re not alone, I thought the movie was cute and fun too.

So I guess I am in the minority that actually liked the movie, as nothing more than cute, campy (seriously, SERIOUSLY campy!) fun. Zac Efron almost made me reconsider my firm stance against being a cougar! j/k I kid, I kid. But I was looking forward to the live event, but now I will be picking up my niece from the…

I have no strong feelings one way or the other about Hairspray, but I have to say that this overwrought (is there any other kind) theater-kid drama in the comments is giving me all kinds of life.

OMFG! I AM GOING TO FUCKING GO ON A RANT.

British cars must be filled with Earl Grey, not soup. Anything else is asking for a lack of reliability.

Not sure if this is a joke article, but the author is giving out some dangerous advice if he’s serious. British cars must be filled with Earl Grey, not soup. Anything else is asking for a lack of reliability.
