      Oh you invented putting cheese on bread, did you?

      Jumping off of this: The foodsphere, even removed from the italians, knows a lot of “nooo that’s not correct”. The only thing as annoying as the italians though are the people who think the Earl of Sandwich invented that. It’s putting literally a thing in bread, people have been doing it since we have bread

        I’m a fan of americans that are cheese sandwich purists, and if you put any ingredient besides cheese in there it becomes a “melt” not a “cheese sandwich”. this was a big deal on reddit in 2019 i think

          omg one of my most favorite reddit rants of all time!

          You People Make Me Sick

          A grilled cheese consists of only these following items. Cheese. Bread with spread (usually butter). This entire subreddit consist of “melts”. Almost every “grilled cheese” sandwich i see on here has other items added to it. The fact that this subreddit is called “grilledcheese” is nothing short of utter blasphemy.

          Let me start out by saying I have nothing against melts, I just hate their association with sandwiches that are not grilled cheeses. Adding cheese to your tuna sandwich? It’s called a Tuna melt. Totally different. Want to add bacon and some pretentious bread crumbs with spinach? I don’t know what the hell you’d call that but it’s not a grilled cheese.

          I would be more than willing to wager I’ve eaten more grilled cheeses in my 21 years than any of you had in your entire lives. I have one almost everyday and sometimes more than just one sandwich. Want to personalize your grilled cheese? Use a mix of different cheeses or use sourdough or french bread. But if you want to add some pulled pork and take a picture of it, make your own subreddit entitled “melts” because that is not a fucking grilled cheese.

          I’m not a religious man nor am I anything close to a culinary expert. But as a bland white mid-western male I am honestly the most passionate person when it comes to grilled cheese and mac & cheese. All of you foodies stay the hell away from our grilled cheeses and stop associating your sandwich melts with them. Yet again, it is utter blasphemy and it rocks me to the core of my pale being.

          Shit, I stopped lurking after 3 years and made this account for the sole purpose of posting this. I’ve seen post after post of peoples “grilled cheeses” all over reddit and it’s been driving me insane. The moment I saw this subreddit this morning I finally snapped. Hell, I may even start my own subreddit just because I know this one exists now.

          You god damn heretics. Respect the grilled cheese and stop changing it into whatever you like and love it for it what it is. Or make your damn melt sandwich and call it for what it is. A melt

        Okay but traditional closed sandwich made from separate pieces of bread actually do appear pretty late. Wraps are old as dirt, trenchers are from the middle age but you guys also get mad when I call an open faced sandwich a sandwich so trenchers are obviously not it, and dipping bread in stews and soups is related to sandwiches but if my potato on rye isn’t a sandwich then this sure isn’t.
