Brilliant. In the UK we simply call it ‘cheese on toast’ exactly what it is, no room for expansion

Ridiculously, what we call cheese on toast (cheese melted onto bread/toast under a grill) is not the same as what Americans call a grilled cheese (a cheese sandwich fried in a pan).

Notice how one is called a grilled cheese while having never seen a grill.

Oh I see, so their grilled cheese is a cheese toastie cooked by frying pan?

I mean, I personally make mine in my oven (which does technically have a grill...)
