Recently I was subjected to some "anti-comedy" or "meta comedy" (but I think meta comedy meaning ironic in that it should be funny but is not and so it is funny, not actually meta anything).

I think we are seeing anti-pizza. Somebody thought it would be funny to go to a city where pizza and tradition are just about the only thing people have in common, and undo them both at once. Why? Because it's the end of the universe.

Being warned that it will be "a little pink in the middle." That's a sure sign they'll overcook it anyway!

HOLY MOTHER.

Ms Ruperti, I miss seeing you in videos! This written nonsense isn't as fun.

My buddy likes to call them "aguas koolaid" because most of the places around here have a just impossibly wide variety of flavors. They're just back there tossing a strawberry or something on top of your koolaid to make it real.

Well we can do without Adam, so I'm sure we'll be fine without Carey.

Just kidding! Keep making good stuff.

FlavorCountry is right. There isn't any cheese on ANY of these!

Actually I think I'd like marshmallow fluff better. Fluffernuteller.

I stand by my analogy. I stand by it 100%. The reason is this:

A grilled cheese on rye with swiss and corned beef and sauerkraut is called a reuben. Someone named it that.

But there are not names for every conceivable sandwich. So for everything else you need a point of reference that makes it easy for people to understand and then decide if they want it or not.

If you say Ham and Cheese sandwich, I think you mean white bread, mayo, ham, american cheese. If you say grilled ham and cheese, I think you mean white bread grilled in butter with american cheese melted to it and warm ham in the middle.

If you tell people you made a ham and pineapple sandwich, that leaves out the most important part of the sandwich, which is that it is grilled so that the cheese melts to both pieces of bread.

Kenji isn't saying that all grilled cheeses have wacky shit on them. He is saying that this is a grilled cheese that also has this other shit on it.

And he's not giving every single recipe a dumb name.

Calling it a Jalapeno Popper Grilled Cheese is the easiest and fastest way to explain it.

If someone can find a different name for these sandwiches that more quickly communicates to Serious Eats readers what exactly the sandwich will be, I bet you'll get a medal.

"You didn't float the Midori!"
"Sir...I could not care less about your Midori. Get away from this bar."

Okay, you win. Not all British food has a dirty name.

I only like avocados at room temperature. For now.

I just had a typo which will be the name of my deep-fried avocado restaurant: Tempurature.

@belinskaya I'll check him out. If he's good, I hope he gets a job at a real publication where I don't have to change my opinions to find his work!

The Cape Codder response reminds me of the Onion article about the bar owner sponsoring a rugby team and regretting it immediately for the crowd it drew.
