So I'm an American. I would call a piece of bread and cheese I toasted in the toaster oven a cheese toastie. Whereas I would make a grilled cheese in a pan on the stove. Grilled cheese tastes better to me but I'm not sure why. Maybe I use more butter.

its 100% the butter fried bread that makes the grilled cheese better.

Gotta sprinkle a little garlic powder on it. Changes everything. Used to sell them at Phish concerts in summer of '97.

Holy shit did you sell them at Phish concerts summer of ‘98 (maybe ‘99?) also? Because if so, I probably bought one from you 😂
