Well, really! Until I read this thread, I had no idea people put any sort of condiments on grilled cheese. That’s just wrong.
The German teacher in my HS was a sour Kraut, so her parents did.
I had involuntary stomach contractions, you know, like hurling when I read this. ::shudder::
Why do you think they have so many kids? W/o Netflix, they just chill
Huh? WTF??? I’ve never even heard of one with that on it! Whiz, Provolone or American are the only options they even have at a good steak place…& I prefer mine ‘widout’.
So my only question is can we hang you before we draw & quarter you?
LSLGuy, you could learn a lot from a Dork
I believe they do ship 'em - Amoroso’s website
But it can be washed down with a Lager (no “Yeungling” necessary as “Lager” means Yeungling Lager)
I like ketchup with my grilled cheez sammich.
So there!
Probably making himself a sandwich.
Sometimes a slice of tomato on grilled cheese is what I want. Occasionally I’ll dip it in yellow mustard but never ketchup. Ketchup is for fried egg sandwiches, FF, hotdogs and hamburgs, meatloaf and chx nuggets.
This stuff was made in New York City?!!?
You don’t put condiments in or on a grilled cheese. Or in/on a patty melt for that matter.
You do however dunk the biting edge in a puddle of ketchup. Dunk, bite, dunk, bite, dunk, …
I grew up with MIracle Whip and margarine. 
Haven’t intentionally had either in over 30 years.
Get a rope.
Really? That’s not what this guy said:
Did you read the next sentence of my 2nd post you quoted first?
The ketchup is for dipping. Which results in it being on the sandwich bite going into your face. Not in it.
You have a point that I spoke of results the first time, only adding the process details the second time around.
Sorry to confuse, but this isn’t a recipe thread (yet) and I wasn’t being detailed the first time.
Oops on me.
What I like is the commentary like “Most testers preferred a curved handle on saute pans because…”
That’s the sort of thing I might not consider or if I did, I’d just wonder why some were curved and some were straight.
No worries. I won’t put ketchup on my grilled cheese, nor will I dip my grilled cheese in ketchup!
But as chela mentioned, a thin slice of tomato or two can set it off nicely.
I dip mine in 1000 Island.
Heresy! Burn them!

Apparently I had misunderstood you, my dear fellow, although I held back my criticism. I now see that you are, of course, completely correct. I would object to having anything other than cheese and butter on a grilled cheese sandwich, but the ketchup-dipping is, of course, de rigeuer!
Okay, back to those reubens for a second…
When I was a kid, I loved reubens, just not with thousand island, so I would ask for them with deli mustard, rather than the spread. Far better sandwich, in my opinion, even if not entirely traditional. These days, I usually order the thousand island on the side in case I want to do a little dipping.
I think it stems from a trip we made one time. While at O’Hare airport, I was hungry and the place we were at had cold, pre-made reubens. There was nobody around to heat it up so I just ate it cold and it was delicious. There was no thousand island, just mustard. To this day, I’ll ocassionally make a cold reuben for nostalgia sake.
And ketchup should never be anywhere near a grilled cheese sandwich. If you want the taste of tomatoes, have the sandwich with tomato soup like God intended.
In this country, God doesn’t get a say.
The Gatsby, an incredibly unhealthy meal of bread, french fries, meat and cheese.
If you have a bowl of hot tomato soup available, I suppose you can dispense with the ketchup.
Americas Test Kitchen is saturating the airwaves… My PBS station has 5 sub channels, and sometimes that show is on 3 channels at the same time. Their stupid, weak little chuckles and “Oh Julia, that has chocolate”… “oh! sorry about that…teee heee” fake ass banter is just junk.
Why do they have an audience for those “tasting” segments? “Oh did you get tickets for the ATK frozen broccoli tasting…? No, but I saw the brand they recommended! I can make beef & broccoli w/out criticism now…!”
I’m choppin broccoli
So let me get this straight.
You’re just now noticing some television is garbage? Hint, Pal: it’s all garbage. Has been for a very long time. Not sure which rock you’ve been hiding under, but there it is.
