I’m still missing it. Yes, I know aioli is not mayonnaise. Wasn’t that also the point being made in the post you responded to? The poster was complaining about people who add stuff to mayonnaise and call it “aioli.” Garlic mayonnaise is not aioli. I think all three of us posters agree. ---

Sure, ketchup and tomato soup are basically the same—if you ignore little things like texture, temperature, seasoning, and the fact that one is a cold sugar paste designed for french fries, and the other is actual food. 😉 ---

> [@Tibby](#): > > The only thing that belongs anywhere near a grilled cheese is a bowl of tomato soup or bisque, with oyster crackers floating like little life rafts of crunchiness. Anything else is culinary blasphemy with a side of regret. I would have agreed until yesterday. Yesterday I had a grilled cheese (Jarlsberg) with bacon jam inside. It was, as elderly children used to say, da bomb. ---

I had one for dinner, along with some chicken noodle soup. Highly recommended. (There was no ketchup involved.) ---

Aside request: What is bacon jam? How does one make it…? It sounds like it’s a small bit of left-over bacon grease mixed with a large amount of a fruit preserve but I know I must be wrong. Left-over bacon grease is a roiling purgative, is it not? \< Will Wheaton stops his story \> “Yeah, Vern. That was the flavor of the pies.” . ---

> [@Mundane\_Super\_Hero](#): > > Aside request: What is bacon jam? How does one make it…? As **ThelmaLou** says, there are many recipes. All the ones I’ve seen start with chopped, cooked bacon. I tried a recipe from online, once, and it was pretty good. It didn’t taste like the bacon jam in the sandwich, though. So if you don’t like one online recipe, you can try another. Although, maybe it just tastes better with a grilled cheese sandwich around it. ---

> [@Mundane\_Super\_Hero](#): > > What is bacon jam? No, it’s not bacon mixed with fruit jam. Based on the linked recipe (which, like many, hides the actual recipe part) it’s bacon with onion and garlic cooked in the bacon fat, then the pan is deglazed with vinegar, brown sugar is added, and the whole mess (bacon, aliums, sugar, vinegar) reduced to a jam-lile consistency.
