A couple of years ago I survived on a diet that consisted, pretty much solely, on grilled cheese sandwiches. It was fine. It was cheap. It was tasty. For what it lacked in nutritional value, it more than made up for in monetary savings. It was easy. It only required bread and sliced American cheese.

That was then. This is now.

Two summers ago I met Jen and all that changed. Jen had the idea that American cheese was unacceptable and preferred to slice cheddar cheese by hand to use on her sandwiches. This is a habit that I, unfortunately, got into. For the last few months I have been using cheddar cheese from a stockpile of extra cheese I had after an even that I catered. Eventually the cheese faded and I was stuck with nothing to eat.

After a quick trip to the neighborhood deli I returned with some American cheese and fried myself up a pair of grilled cheese sandwich. What happened next destroyed my soul. I No longer enjoyed American cheese!

I reluctantly choked down the two sandwiches, all the while wishing that they were made with cheddar, deliciously sharp cheddar. Because of Jen I am unable to enjoy that which once fulfilled me so thoroughly.

So I write to you now, trapped in this cheese prison, to warn you. Do not suffer my fate! Enjoy the American cheese. Relish its unearthly processed texture, love its inability to collect mold for if you step into the realm of the cheddar there will be no turning back.

Canadian cheese is much better. Canadian MARBLE cheese.

I was spoiled young.. I've always preferred cheddar (And now some english cheeses too).

Like in omlets. On burgers. In grilled cheese sandwiches..

Mmmm cheddar...

(Although like wallace (& gromit) says, a good wedneslydale (sp?) is great on crackers)
)00 and spinach and feta in an omlet would be delish right now.. (Too bad feta has too many carbs... damn this diet! )

I No longer enjoyed American cheese!

Congratulations! With your improving tastes, you might even be a chef some day!

I can only enjoy American cheese when it is on a grilled cheese sandwich. Any other time it makes me feel the need to violently vomit.

Come on, who is doing the Jon Gutner bit? I need to know!

[Heccubus]

I don't think anyone here is capable of being that stupid intentionally. I mean, I can't even understand half of what the guy says.

[srmoore]

That is what makes it briliant! or not.

I bet you are even craving those fantasically-yummy (however, somewhat undercooked) grilled cheese sandwiches that the best babysitter ever used to make for you when you were a lad...

[Chefelf]

The babysitter emerges!

Actually it's been a while since I had one of your yellow "grilled" cheese sandwiches. We should do that again some time.

Is that a Barbarian Brothers recipe? If so I'll do it. Anything to beef up like my heroes.
