I think that the only suitable applications of processed American cheese (a la Kraft Singles) are grilled cheese, and for melting on cheeseburgers.

Preach it. I was sceptical about the former until a North Amurikkan girlfriend showed me the true way. The burger thing is a no-brainer. All other applications are null and void. I fully embrace my fag status :gay:

If I were human, I believe my response would be: 'go to hell'.
My favorite is to use pepper jack cheese and multigrain bread. American and white is good too. I just think the normal wonderbread white is not very sturdy.

Edit: To be 100% clear, gently caress anyone who tells people what foods are "good" vs "bad".

In the USA grill means fry. Like their greasy spoon places are often a "bar and grill", and those places aren't putting food under a broiler/grill in their wall oven, they're frying it on a flat top or in fry pans.

I do my grilled cheese in an electric sunbeam or breville sandwich maker or panini press, and call them "toasties", like any other Aussie.

I've always assumed that the "grilled" descriptor was perhaps a corruption of 'griddled', as such sandwiches were and are best cooked on a griddle or other flat cooking surface. Moreover, in a lot of diners / greasy spoon type joints, the griddle is referred to as a grill, even though it's clearly a griddle. One can easily see how, at such an establishment, the cook might be told to toss a cheese sandwich on the grill - which would logically make it a grilled cheese sandwich, even though the grill in question is actually a griddle.

I do enjoy the idea that grilled somehow means fried in the US. I get a mental image of somebody asking one of his buddies to toss a few steaks on the grill, and said friend nodding enthusiastically as he chucks strip steaks whole into a pot of boiling oil.

Fried means deep fried there? Frying here is what we do in a fry pan (skillet), you'd have to stipulate deep frying if that's what you're going for.

I mean it makes sense that "fry" means deep fried (eg KFC, potato fries), but for some reason we ended up different and don't use the word broiler, so everything had to change meaning. Our grill is your broiler, our griddle is your grill. Our "BBQ" is outdoor version of cooking on a gas US griddle and grill.

Yeah, a lot of this still isn't exactly right about the terminology in the US.

Outside of a restaurant, no one in the US would call anything but a charcoal or propane grill a grill. Most people here would probably call what you're referring to as a griddle as a flat top stove. Fry here has two meanings, either pan fry or deep fry. Both are used fairly frequently as verbs, but if you called something fried, you'd almost certainly mean deep fried.

Tiggum sperged about calling it grilled when it should be called fried, someone else said it should be a griddled sandwich.
I just "sunbeam" or "breville" them, call them "toasties", and give no fucks. I was just making GBS threads around like I said before, due to this thread has e: having no redeeming points.

Wait - what was frying again? I thought that fried food went into a fryer, and then got fried, where as griddled food was made on something flat, but grilled food could be made in an oven, or on a grill?

Do you bake your chicken in the oven - or is baking reserved for breads? http://youtu.be/ymdssZOAx3Q

In Korea they have these street grilled cheese sandwiches. They use a thin slice of low quality deli ham, American cheese, eggs with corn, and some kind of sweet spread. Maybe more of a breakfast sandwich technically. They cost about a dollar and I always got one getting on or off the subway. I have tried several times to replicate the taste but failed.
