YUMMY IN THE TUMMY

Grilled cheeses are simply amazing. I prefer mine dipped in ketchup, which I guess means I'm Canadian. I don't have any problems with that.
(from Wiki)
A grilled cheese sandwich is a relatively simple sandwich, generally consisting of two pieces of sliced bread and at least one slice of cheese in between. Some methods call for buttering the outside of the bread first, while others melt the butter in the pan.
Traditionally, cheddar is used, although in the USA a processed cheese known as American cheese is also quite popular. In the Netherlands Gouda cheese is used most often and ham is added to it. Other kinds of cheese can be used, such as Swiss cheese, but these are mostly regional variants.
Meat or pickles and/or mustard added to the grilled cheese are other variations. It is also not unheard of for fresh sliced tomato to be added. There are also some who prefer a triple-decker grilled cheese sandwich, where the middle slice is put in a toaster before adding cheese and two other slices of bread, and cooking it like a normal grilled cheese sandwich.
In Britain, Ireland and Australia a similar dish is often referred to as "cheese on toast", "toasted cheese", Welsh rabbit or "roasted cheese", and is normally made with one slice of bread or toast (an open sandwich), topped with cheddar, and broiled (grilled) until the cheese has melted. (In South Africa "toasted cheese" refers to a toasted cheese sandwich while "cheese on toast" refers to unmelted cheese on a slice of toast.) Some people like to sprinkle condiments over the cheese; the possibilities are limited only by the imagination, but especially popular variations include Worcestershire sauce, powdered oregano, powdered paprika, or cayenne pepper.
It is often enjoyed as a side-dish to tomato soup, sometimes dunked. Others (mostly Canadian) prefer to dip their grilled cheese sandwiches into ketchup or apple sauce.
Also, there is some debate over what is the correct way to slice this type of sandwich. Some prefer horizontally along the middle, as with traditional sandwiches. Others prefer diagonally, from corner to corner, to make it easier to dip.
