I'm British- how do you make a grilled cheese sandwich and why is it so highly thought of?

Grilled--that is a good start to any culinary endeavor. Cheese--quite possibly one of the greatest words since "bacon". Sandwich--the name oozes simplicity, two conveniently placed slices of bread stuffed with anything your imagination can conjure.

On to the recipe: -Start with white bread--bleached flour, devoid of nutrients. Anything else is sacrilege and unsatisfying. -The cheese--American, jack, cheddar or any combination.

Here you have leeway, there are some gourmet grilled cheeses out there with brie or whatever. Just make sure it melts nicely -The pan--nonstick or aluminum, medium to medium high heat. -The procedure--Slap your cheese between those slices--don't be shy with it--and generously butter the OUTSIDE of the bread, pop that sucker down and use a spatula to keep pressure on it as it fries, wait until it gets nice and golden and flip and repeat.

Done. Keep in mind, however, the greatest part of the grilled cheese is the cheese that drips out of the sandwich onto the pan as it cooks and browns against the bread into the greatest tasting thing that has ever lived. Try it, you'll see.

Now carry this knowledge with you back across the pond and spread the good news to your dentally challenged countrymen. Godspeed, good sir.

I've just recently moved to the UK from North America, and so I had to learn what a toastie was. Grilled cheese and toasties ar basically the same thing except for the fact that the grilled cheese is done in a frying pan.

Once you've eaten one you won't have to ask why they are so highly thought of. Mahalo has a great How To on grilled cheese here mahalo.com/how-to-make-grilled-cheese. This video describes the process perfectly.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
