Thread: Here comes the lunch wagon

I see what Paul calls a grilled cheese we call a toasted sandwich.

I had a variation on the toasted for lunch today in the form of a Reuben - I won't get into the ingredients as it could start up another Canuck & Yankee dispute over the nature of that particular delicacy

Had another variation of eggs on hash brown patties for lunch the other day. I put a slice of thin cut smoked Provolone cheese on the hash browns layered some shaved Tuscan ham on top, followed by some thin cut mild Genoa salami, then an egg over topped with another thin sliced smoked Provolone cheese. Two of those made a very tasty and filling lunch.

I love toasted sanwiches or toasties and had a sandwich machine to make them but, my Canadian wife butters the outside of the bread adds her filling then puts the whole thing in a frying pan. She calles that grilled cheese, it tastes good but I don't get the grilled cheese, more like fried sandwich I reckon, nice though.

Grilled cheese is normally meatless. It is an American or perhaps North American diner classic. I think I remember reading that it originated in the great depression when meat was expensive and scarce.
