^^ I don't think you'd be happy up in the sticks...

^Wouldn't last a week Troy. I've seen more than enough of the sticks to know that it's not just food choices that are severely limited compared to where I live.

Where tomatoes are grown...

^Fair point, in fact it seems like those take-me-home brand tomatoes are grown in Chiang Mai but the locals don't get to see them if the pics are anything to go by. We have them 24/7/365.

Mushroom, cheese and brisket omelette

unusual combo. it seems you have mastered the art of folding the omelette - i recall we have a couple of posters who conflate pancakes and omelettes and flip them

Deleted.... Hey we have two breakfast threads. I just got confused it seems on by SEA Traveler is more used. Had me confused..

Daughter's request. She said it was good.

Not very different from a few peices of ham in an omelette.

Looks good, I'd add a hunk of cheese to that. Personal preference.

Then I'd have to toast it. Prob do that tomorrow and use up some of the brie leftover from the other day.

or grill it in the frying pan if you are American

I have a sandwich press, a toastie machine, a toaster, a frying pan and a big fuck off oven, an air fryer, a rice cooker and a BBQ.

I do not have a grill.

Dirk, what do you call the surface that you cook on with your barbecue? This one is like mine and I have to clean the grill before I cook each and every time. The grill being the area the food is cooked on. What do you call the part of a barbecue that is cooked on? I know all American's call it the grill.

You wouldn't make a grilled cheese sandwich on there though, would you?

I would call that a BBQ grill or flame grill, albeit accepting these are American terms.

Where I come from, the grill is the part of the cooker between the hobs and the oven, that cooks food from ABOVE.

Like cheese on toast

Same, to grill a steak. But "Throw some steaks on the grill" means to barbecue. Either gas or electric. Here is an electric one. Cheers.

Conclusion is that you guys should just call it what it is, a fried cheese sandwich.

I'd make one right now if I wasn't going out for sup...

...an evening meal

Close but my mom called them that from day one, and day one is a hell of a long time ago. Remember a hamburger has no ham.

The best explanation I could find.

They call it a grilled cheese sandwich because it isa cheese sandwich that has been cooked on a grill or in a manner which is equivalent to cooking on a grill (like in a skillet). It is cooked on the grill long enough for the cheese to melt a little and the bread to get brown and a little crispy.

Here's the ever delightful Natasha making an American style grilled cheese sandwich. No grill needed

Yep, hunk of cheese.

Yellow mustard instead of what ever that is.

no hot sauce.

Cut the crusts off.

Perfection.

You are right there, but it is too late for us, we grew up calling it a grilled cheese, sparking confusion around the globe.

I'm not really convinced. A bit too simplistic maybe, or not enough bacon.

Cheese needs melting

That was German mustard, we use so much Coleman's that we just have those huge tins of powder.

Hot sauce didn't do much.

Crusts on, more is better.

Add it, I have added bacon and ham many a time. Make a quesadilla like that using a tortilla filled with spiced chicken, salsa, and whatever cheese you have laying around.

Well you'll get no argument from me about there being pretty much nothing that isn't better with bacon but that's how the Americans like them, I'd go as far as to say it would be one of their favourite comfort foods. Natasha has a bowl of soup on the bench too, soup and a sandwich are great together.
