There would probably be a riot in my house if I didn't use garlic butter on the outside of our grilled cheese sandwiches. However, we also put smoked chicken, salsa, bbq sauce, pesto, caramelized onions (not all together I might add) on the inside with our cheese too. We are currently in hiding from the grilled cheese sandwich police.
That sounds good, but as soon as the inside is more than mainly cheese and seasoning, I don't consider that a grilled cheese sandwich anymore.
yeah, I think at that point it becomes a grilled sandwich to me. Though it still sounds good! I like the idea of garlic butter on the outside, with cheese, chicken, and pesto on the inside, with perhaps the onions.

I'm in the "pro bleu/blue cheese" camp. I forgot that was polarizing a few pages back . . . .
I have gotten Bleu Cheese dressing on a salad that comes with Bleu Cheese crumbles. No regrets.
I grew up on Limburger cheese sandwiches on onion rolls WITH sliced onions and Miracle Whip.
Mic drop.

"No one should squirt ketchup on a hot dog after the age of 18, say officials at the National Hot Dog and Sausage Council, part of the American Meat Institute.
“You have to grow up sometime,” says council president Janet Riley, a.k.a. “the Queen of Wien” in her Hot Dog Etiquette video."
There's really a National Hot Dog and Sausage Council? Well, they can't tell me what to do.
*Squirts more ketchup on hotdog..."
I think it's hilarious how upset some get at the idea of ketchup on a hotdog. I also liked the baseball related theory for it, if you followed the link.
(I don't like ketchup on hotdogs, but think it's fine that others do.)
It's perfectly OK if someone wants to put ketchup on their hot dog. Really. It's ok and there's no reason for me to think badly of them. Really. It's
OK. I might think they must have a defective microbiome or some epigenetic condition. But it's OK. Really.
Thank God it's ok, a hotdog without tomato sauce is.. well... just not a hot dog. Behold its magnificence. 🤤
Also, I have to have apple sauce and crackling on my pork or it's not worth eating
Tomato sauce? Where are you from? where do they call ketchup tomato sauce at.
Australia 🐨🇦🇺
I believe in the UK it's tomato sauce too, but I'm not certain.
Oh! What do you guys call the sauce you put in spaghetti?
Pasta sauce 🙂
I forget what I say. I think I say pasta sauce or maybe just sauce.
“ shoot we have no sauce”
I don’t remember. But yeah pasta sauce isn’t odd as hearing tomato sauce for ketchup.
For me "pasta sauce" includes any kind of sauce one might put on pasta (cream sauce, carbonara, something that's not really a sauce but olive oil + garlic + whatever else goes). Tomato sauce is a subset of pasta sauce.3 -

Ok.
Since you mentioned spaghetti specifically, I suppose people also reference "spaghetti sauce" (which I would think of as a tomato-based sauce) or "meat sauce" (which I would think of as tomato sauce with ground beef and maybe some other veg).
I am aware people from other parts of the US may have other terms and would be interested in them, even though these are what I am familiar with. (Back in the day I think tomato sauce was "gravy" in some parts of the NE US, for example.)
From an old: when I was a kid pasta = spaghetti or mac and cheese or ravioli (and wasn't called pasta), but now it's mostly other kinds of pasta and is typically called pasta generically (and is much more rarely spaghetti).
Tomato sauce is also what's on pizza (unless it's white pizza).
I suppose this is now terminology vs. polarizing.
"Sauce" would be way more general than pasta sauce, let alone "tomato sauce." Hollandaise is a sauce, for example, among many others.2 -
In Australia if one were to order a hotdog ( or chips, a pie, pasty, sausage roll) with sauce, it would be assumed you meant tomato sauce unless you specified BBQ or some other sort.
Tomato sauce ( aka ketchup to Americans) would be the default assumption.3 -

Yes, that's true, I agree with you. Even with only cheese, they still prefer garlic butter over plain butter on the outside. One of my sons is lactose intolerant and before we could get good lactose free cheese we used to make alternative grilled sandwiches for him so he wouldn't feel left out, they have now morphed into free for all grilled cheese+. Yummy though.

Pepper Jelly is another favourite in grilled cheese in our house, in lieu of mayo and pickles.1
