It's a melt!! But that looks delicious

I wonder how fuck_blue_shells is doing

Yeah something between a melt and grilled cheese. The chicharon made it extra crunchy.

There is nothing between a melt and a grilled cheese. It's one or the other. Or neither. I'm bringing this argument back.

[–] [email protected] -2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Personally I'd lean towards grilled cheese with extra stuff in it for this sandwich. I feel like to be considered a melt it'd have to be something like a tuna melt where the cheese accompanies the tuna, and not the other way around. You think the classification is a question of volume proportions between cheese and whatever else is in it?

grilled cheese with extra stuff in it

You just described a melt.

More info

Nah with a melt, the other stuff is more important than the cheese. In a grilled cheese, the cheese is the star. Even in your link it says the cheese accompanies whatever else in a melt.

Smh and you didn't call it grilled cheesecharon

Missed opportunity

How was it?

Before I clicked I was expecting melted cheese between two pieces of chicharon

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

It was so good. The whole was greater than the sum of its parts. I also dipped it in guacamole for some extra goodness

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Oh dang, good idea. I don't really like chicharron by itself, but I bet that's freaking perfect. Although I might crush up the chicharron into bits first and sprinkle it over rather than such large chunks.

Congratulations, that is a win

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Yeah I'm thinking next time I'll cut the chicharon into smaller bits, but this one was still pretty good texture wise

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

Nice. Mad congrats. I'm not huge on eating bags of chicharron unaccompanied, but I definitely fully endorse their addition to a grilled cheese. It makes the best kind of sense.

The sourdough I used has tumeric and butterfly pea flower in the dough, so it's naturally blueish purple and yellow

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

The colors are really eye catching. The sandwich looks delicious

Now make a grilled cheesecharon with a concha
