Talk:Grilled cheese sandwich

message: Who coined the term "cheese sandwich blog"? It refers to a blog posting that is utterly trivial and includes an amount of detail no one could possibly be interested in. Spblat 01:30, 18 July 2005 (UTC)

:I'm Canadian and I have never heard of anyone ever dipping it into apple sauce. Sometimes ketchup, but not apple sauce. Padishar 05:33, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The Apple Sauce thing has also got me wondering.  Ketchup, of course, is the only sauce I've ever heard of anyone using with Grilled Cheese.  WilyD 15:34, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

message: These are two lines from the article: This can be simulated in a George Foreman grill for the same effect. Brown's recipe for grilled cheese is arguably the tastiest sandwich recipe ever. Couldn't it be done in any grill?  And the second statement is only an opinion. Padishar 05:54, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

message: I am going to add something to this article if no one minds. It is a difficult thing to source but is relevant and factual if you do some research of your own
Here in Indiana ( specifically NE) this is exclusively known as a cheese toastie.
I do not know where else it is called this but at least mentioning it as another name for it and and having it go to this page.
I will resolve myself to accepting (for wikipedia at least) that most of the world calls it a grilled cheese even though though cheese toastie is more accurate Mrobinson587 03:04, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

text: The term "toastie" is mentioned in the toasted sandwich article. Here in the UK, the sandwich described as a "grilled cheese sandwich" would generally be referred to as a cheese toastie or toasted cheese sandwich - it wouldn't be called "grilled" unless it was literally "grilled" (i.e. "broiled" in American English). 217.34.39.123 15:01, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

message: While i think that this article is a usefully section, I don't feel it noteworthy enough for it's own article.  The Toasted sandwich article would benefit from a this article merged as a section of, arguably, the most common of toasted sandwich.  --Brideshead 09:50, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

message: Is the list of breads commonly used really neccessary? that can easily be integrated into the top of the article and does not need its very own section. Glassbreaker5791 17:41, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Bread list? 

message: This may be rated as a "low-importance" article but it's definitely a fun one. I  did some general cleanup of the article to give it some sections and a true introduction.  There were also a lot of neutrality issues, such as assumptions about what the common methods of preparation are, common cheese, "traditional" methods, etc.  In addition, a single source provides the majority of references.  It needs internal citations to meek Wikipedia's quality standards.  
I digress, Yet another issue is the "toastie" vs. "grilled cheese" thing.  Here in the states, if I asked for a "grilled cheese sandwich," and someone brought me one of those toasted things, I'd be very confused.  Although the ingredients and methods are similar, they are not the same sandwich... in my opinion. When I think "grilled cheese," a very specific picture comes to mind (like the one on the page!). Indeed, the Sandwich toaster article has it's own section for "toasties," and it clearly differentiates between the two: "Sandwich toasters are less common in the United States where grilled cheese sandwiches are more popular."  So, there are tow ways to tackle this.  Merge the two, and open the article with "A grilled cheese sandwitch, or toastie..." and then discuss regional differences...OR...we could split the two, and define "grilled cheese" as a sandwich made the US way (buttered and pan fried), and a Toastie as the UK way (toasted in a toaster or "grill").  Either way, we need to change the conflict between the two articles as they now are.  Ideas? JohnnyCalifornia 09:10, 28 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I think these are fundamentally different sandwiches and that this article should focus on the "grilled cheese" sandwich, which is buttered and then cooked in a pan like a Reuben. --Jcbutler (talk) 21:35, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

message: I removed the unsourced assertions as to the origin of the dish from the infobox, which has featured "Ontario, Canada" and "Brussels, Belgium".  As the actual reference listed in the article says, "Food historians generally agree that cooked bread and cheese combinations [in many different forms, textures and tastes] were ancient foods known across most continents and cultures." --MCB (talk) 18:37, 19 October 2008 (UTC)
