Toast Poll

So you can't makes toast OR steaks right? Dang, son.

Wait, my mind is being blown... a grilled cheese sandwich is actually fried?

i had figured this out somewhat after numerous HOOSian updates but i think that i recoiled from full implications, yknow?

and may god have mercy on my soul

I eat toast dry.

you have yr option, feel free to use it and by god dont let sunset see you in this thread or else

Wait, my mind is being blown... a grilled cheese sandwich is actually fried?

first found this out when looking up grilled cheese recipes and yeah my mind went moebius too

currently dipping warm buttery toast into a bowl of Scotch Broth btw

ya i'll gonna have another slice i think

onto the hot cross buns now

butter on hot golden toast

anything else is incomprehensible to me

butter while hot - but spread sparingly, toasted to golden or slightly darker

a grilled cheese sandwich is actually fried?

haha what

The weird thing is that grilling as in actually grilling with a grill is a good way to make toast

How do you make yours? xp

"i like baked potatoes. Baking, that's when you immerse something in very hot water over a stove, right?"

^this is you right now, America, afaict

just thinking yesterday how much i miss 'toasties' - i.e. a toasted sandwich filled with things like cheese or ham or egg or all three, with SEALED EDGES so shit doesn't fall out

voted other: grainy bread toasted well-golden/super crunchy, cooled but not cold before spreading butter

toasted sandwich makers are great for five minutes then you can't fit them in the cupboard next to the unused George Foreman grill

xxxp I have no problem with any method of melting cheese over bread, I like to make quesadillas in a pan, my thing is basically just if you call grilling frying what the hell do you call frying (don't answer that I'm not sure I'm ready to know)

Uh I mean if you call frying grilling

God I'm confused

But how do you make a grilled cheese sandwich?

Using a grill

I have never made a fried cheese sandwich but the idea is not unappealing

i have made the following cheese sandwiches

grilled (proper grilled like)
fried (these are good too)
microwaved (i do not recommend)

xps i don't own one myself, but we had one growing up and it got used almost weekly

grilled (proper grilled like)

Still trying to understand what equipment and method this involves east of the Atlantic. Is there any fat (butter/margarine/oil) applied to the outward facing side of the bread? If not, does the bread not scorch?

I remember when dubbed Iron Chef episodes came over here and they used "grilled" when they meant "baked." Fucking English language!

WmC, grilling in UK & australia etc == cooking under heat ie broiling

a 'grill' for all intents and purposes is a broiler

even though I really hate even saying the word broil because it is super ridiculous

As darragh alluded to above, you guys use the word broil, a word nobody else has ever had need for. So, uh, a broiler? Which doesn't touch the surface of the bread.

Xp!

'grill' can still also refer to a charcoal or gas grill like a barbecue type situation, depending on the kind of food

but a "grilled cheese sandwich" would most commonly be broiled or made in a sandwich maker

fin

TY, VG -- another culture chasm bridged.

welcome!

You guys are calling American grilled cheese "fried" when it's not - frying involves immersion in oil. If anything, they're sauteed.

I think.

(just checked and apparently sauteeing is considered a kind of frying, but that seems wrong)

we wd distinguish between "deep frying" (immersion) and "shallow frying" (like sauteeing basically) but if there's a pan and hot fat of some kind it's frying in our parlance

anyway i made grilled cheeses tonight and calling them fried cheeses wd feel wrong so

Of course, bread and cheese under the broiler is called toasted cheese, just to make things more interesting.

here, if you fry bread it is called "fried bread" and is distinct from toast

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Ugh white bread is so gross, just straight in my "not even food" category right away.

the answer is plugra butter on a fresh pullman loaf straight out of the oven.

Cant get behind whiteshaming itt tbrr

Why would you want to eat cold toast??

toast made with brown bread is superior.

voted "french"

The real question is whether we eat it with the butter-side up or butter-side down.

My insistence on cooling the toast so that the butter doesn't melt in is sincere and one of my only irl foibles

I make a triangle of the slices to cool them the quicker.

It's because uniformity of butter or any comestible lubricant is not just boring but an actual travesty. Getting more than the fair share of the heartstopping stuff in any given bite is like a second Sunday in the week.

Not to mention that to make the toast soggy by melting yr butter on the hot surface is a desperate choice. Be reassured that I find your decision to do so as wrongheaded as you seem to view my methods, but I forego the self-indulgent urge to label you pisstakers on the back of it. For shame.

staggering tbh

does cold toast vs dmac using nuclear butter look like hiroshima post a-bomb

Cold toast is more like t-bomb tbrwu

I'm glad we finally talked more about this. For the past 2 years I've pondered the question of dmac's cold toast pretty much every time I've eaten toast.

My mum goes the cold toast route. It's inhumane, in my opinion.

This is the hill of beans I'll die on, no bother

does it get toasty up there

i don't eat cold toast but i generally let it sit for about 30 seconds in the toaster so it's not quite piping hot either - also if you transfer directly to a flat surface it gets soggy (which i guess everyone knows hence the existence of toast racks)

I thought 'It's hardly worth a poll' immediately followed by a realisation that I Love Toast a lot more than I Love Music and they'll poll any ole shite without a care.

this was the real motivation ftp

Is "grilled bread" simply toast?

I dread to imagine what else it could be
