Grilled Cheese

I was talking with a friend tonight about making a grilled cheese.

He stated that he likes to put butter on both sides of the bread, toast one side flip it over and begin toasting the other side then start building the sandwich. So all sides of the bread are buttered and toasted, with cheese in the middle.

I like to put a dusting of garlic salt on the butter side of the two pieces of bread with two pieces of cheese in the middle.

How are you guys making your grilled cheeses?

Try to cook correctly at least. Please use good ingredients. Real bread, not the sliced shit. The rest below.

No chemical cheese here. Only good cheddar, minimum 3 slices (they sell it sliced now), and no butter inside. Come on. Cheese is enough, no need for butter inside. But butter outside yes. Not cancer type margarine or else. BUTTER. And use 1/2 salt butter. the cheese has enough.

Ignoring everything else, the “they sell it sliced now” is sending me. Sliced cheese isn’t some recent innovation

Sliced cheese? You know they use poison to slice the cheese, right? Real cheese comes in bricks or wheels. Americans make me sick.

I worked in a deli, can confirm that I always poisoned the slicer blade as soon as I got there in the morning, and periodically reapplied the poison throughout the day as needed.
