Proof that two ingredients and one mistake can outclass an entire culinary degree.
means A hot sandwich of cheese melted between two slices of buttered bread that are toasted in a pan until crisp and golden.
from Both halves are plain old English. 'Grilled' comes through French 'griller,' from 'grille' (a grate or grid), tracing back to Latin 'craticula,' a little gridiron — the same root that gives us 'griddle.' 'Cheese' is far older, from Old English 'cīese,' borrowed from Latin 'cāseus,' a word so ancient its cousins turn up across the Germanic languages. The dish itself is a 20th-century American kitchen invention: open-faced 'toasted cheese' sandwiches appeared in cookbooks of the 1920s and '30s, helped along by cheap sliced bread and processed cheese, and the closed, butter-fried 'grilled cheese' name settled in around mid-century.
