Sibling debate! I say a grilled cheese stops being a grilled cheese when you add meat (that’s a melt, not a GC), or egg (that’s a breakfast sandwich). My brother says it stops being a GC if the non-cheese ingredients exceed the cheese. I think that’s too low and cheese must be > 80% of the contents.

I'm a GC purist. Buttered--not mayo'ed--bread. Cheese without bits in it. Cheese inside bread. Golden brown. I want crunch & gooey-ness. Cheese pull is fine but only if the strand doesn't become Satan's whip & lash my chin. I want to bite into it & be transported back to simple times w/ my Gram.

100% must be buttered. I’ve tried mayo and I don’t understand who hurt those folks. I do like a good purist comfort grilled cheese, but when I have the energy to make my homemade strawberry habanero jam, it’s REALLY GOOD on a grilled cheese 😅

Had a friend accidentally/successfully cross a habanero w/a scotch bonnet. Me: Save the seeds, grow more. Her: Can't. Saw it, picked it, ate it in 1 bite. 🤦 I don't have her cast-iron stomach. She's eaten a jar of jalapenos for breakfast. Drank ghost pepper sauce. There's not a pepper she wont try
