Completely pointless Thought Of The Day thread

toasties are bullshit. 10 bucks for a somehow cold toasted sandwich with the cheapest ingredients possible, and every american will kill over debates on What They're Supposed to Be. Americans have italian style food opinion bloodthirst over the cheapest fast food fries and packaged mac and cheese, and the Toastie is the apex of this

I have never heard of a Toastie...

I’ve only heard of them in England. Basically a ham/Turkey and cheese sandwich stuck in a toaster oven for a few minutes and sold outside a train station. Never ten bucks for one though, more like 5-6.

Are you sure you’re talking about Americans? I’ve lived here a long time and I’ve never heard a strong opinion about a grilled cheese sandwich.

You have been living under a rock sir. If you don't have an opinion on what fat should be used to fry it (on a pan or griddle) or what kind of cheese to use I don't know what to tell you.

If you melt candy or chocolate into the cavity of a hollow point bullet will it impact it's terminal effectiveness? More importantly, will it kill the tooth fairy?

I... also have never encountered this.

is this some pittsburgh thing or are we being had?

Just chiming in to concur with Victor that toasties are a big thing in the UK, and the toastie maker is a fairly common appliance (not as universal as the electric kettle, but not as far behind as you'd think).


Edit: I've just discovered Australians make spaghetti and baked bean toasties (while insistently calling them "jaffles"). And people say British cuisine is wretched. Images spoilered for those weak of stomach.

My recipe for grilled cheese:

Due to lactose intolerance I use daiya cheddar slices, put a thin coating of mayo on one side of each slice. Throw them mayo side down into a nonstick pan then put the pan on the burner turned to medium. As soon as they get gooey quickly scrape em up and put them between slices of bread. Then toast the sandwich in the pan with butter like normal.

Depending on the amount of mayo and cook time the cheese may or may not stay gooey long enough. I'm still perfecting it.

is it unethical to use the mechanical keyboard from the equipment cupboard in the office? it's kind of annoying but maybe the other people on my bank of desks deserve it.

I vote it's ethical to use. Supply exists.  Some people find keyboard noises help them focus more. Here's to hoping your cowotkers are those people.
