National Grilled Cheese Month: Ode to a Grilled Cheese

By L. Stolpman in Food on Apr 13, 2009 6:40PM

In April, we celebrate grilled cheese,
we eat it with tomatoes, please.
Sometimes we like apples, too.
Maybe one, maybe two.

On wheat or rye or pumpernickel,
with you, grilled cheese, we are not fickle.
We'd eat you if you were on a pita
even if you used Velveeta.

Our love for you cannot be broken,
our love for you is often spoken.
Now listen to some favorites here
some best eaten with a beer.

Tell us your favorite way to eat
this fine food you cannot beat
and if you manage to make it rhyme,
you will be grilled cheese sublime.

Rob Christopher: With pesto and mozzarella on thick, rustic bread, buttered and then grilled. And yes, cut into triangles.

Jacy: On days when she cares about her lactose intolerance: Gluten free brown rice bread, soy/rice cheese. Fry in olive oil on skillet. On days when she doesn't give a damn: Buttered Sourdough bread, asiago, cheddar, swiss cheeses, some tomato and basil, fry on skillet in olive oil until light brown.

L-Stop: Not picky. Melted cheese between buttery, browned bread. It's all good. Thin sliced tomatoes are awesome in it.
