People say that math is a universal language. Well, food is another example of things heard and understood around the world. No matter what path of life you walk–we all have an appreciation for good food.
Grilled cheese is the ultimate comfort food. Whoever thought to toast cheese and butter on bread was a god among men. The grilled cheese sandwich is like the duct tape of the comfort food world. It can make everything seem a little bit better.
Here are ten reasons why grilled cheese is a crowd favorite:
10. It reminds us of home. Grilled cheese makes us remember the days when our feet didn’t reach the floor and how our parents spent more time focusing on us than cooking dinner for the evening. Depending on the day, we probably even got to help make the sandwiches too.
9. It’s fun to experiment with. Add five cheeses or stick with cheddar? Throw in some parsley and basil? Dip it in ketchup or add some protein? It never has to be the traditional recipe, but it’s basically guaranteed to be delicious no matter what.
8. For the basic people who can’t cook (like me), it’s a godsend. Five minutes in a pan and there’s a meal of buttery, cheesy goodness to satisfy the appetite.
7. It’s cheap AF. Buy a loaf of $2 bread, a bag of sliced cheese and some butter. You’ll have meals for a week.
6. Pretty much everyone likes them. There are the vegans, and the lactose intolerant, and people who simply don’t like cheese, but a good number of individuals will appreciate it as a simple meal.
