    If you ordered grilled cheese in English and your waiter was also a fucking jaw dragging troglodyte they’d bring out a plate of melted cheese as well.

    Everyone else will assume you abbreviated a grilled cheese sandwich

      In my country (english speaking) I think many people would be confused if you asked for a “grilled cheese” because they aren’t called that here (it’s usually called a toasted sandwich or toastie)

        In my English-speaking country which is fucking called England you’d only get away with saying grilled cheese if the sandwich context was already clear. Toastie here, too, or, if you’re old enough, Breville.
