Grilled Cheese?
It's a food issue, it's a relationship issue, it's both! An advice column last month in the Boston Globe ended up using the term "making a grilled cheese sandwich" as the most delightful euphemism.

I stumbled across it today randomly, and felt it might be the perfect question to ask all of you eaters. Given both the general ethos on Serious Eats as humorous and wise, as well as SE's penchant for good foodstuffs, what food-themed advice would you give?

Pretty funny article. I wouldn't call it advice, but when the guys around here are busting each others chops, "stringin' the bean," "peelin' the carrot," and "slammin' the salami" are all used for what my uncles always referred to as "beating the meat." God I hate being the only female in the house!

Yes...there is SO much that can be said here...so little time, so many people to offend. I just can't bring myself to do it!!

BTW...my husband absolutely LOVES my grilled cheese sandwiches!
arm1970 at 3:49PM on 07/09/09
That is absolutely hilarious!

You'll eat what's in front of you or no dessert! Does that sound too much like a Grilled Cheese Nazi?
Or as Weird Al so nicely sang, "Eat it, just eat it."
Yes, the comments are hysterical. I'm surprised no one brought up smoked sausage.

I'm just glad I posted this in "Food and Drink" and not "Eating Out."

When I told SO there was a thread on here about grilled cheese, before I could explain, he said "I could eat grilled cheese everyday and sometimes twice a day" you cant make up stuff this good :-)

LOL @ But some people would rather eat them than make them.
I know that's right!

Well, if she doesn't want to make grilled cheese they can always play hide the hotdog ;)

I don't know why he couldn't have written to Dan Savage, as Dan would gave the same advice without cutesy euphemisms. That isn't to say that Dan has't coined a few excellent euphemisms of his own.

hilarious!

Some of these replies are really hard to swallow.
@shoneyjoe LMAO. That was bad. In a good way.
@huneybumper Will you ever be able to make one without giggling the entire time?
betteirene at 10:17PM on 07/10/09
@betteirene, are they leaving a bad taste in your mouth? :P
shoneyjoe at 10:59PM on 07/10/09
Well, I guess grilled cheese is better than tuna fish...
floridayaya at 7:19AM on 07/11/09
@betteirene I wont be able to make either without giggling ;-)
huneybumper at 8:54AM on 07/11/09
Oh, come on.
Stop it. Stop it now.
betteirene at 8:06PM on 07/11/09
