also a separate plurk for a totally different topic, how would you call this
fat cat
i'm curious about the american answers in particular
fat cat
bc for me, it has been what "toast" means my whole childhood
ᴊɪɴᴜᴀʀʏ
"zgrzewki"

can i get a clarification of other ingredients? bc yeah that just looks like slightly fancy toast to me
fat cat
zєℓ∂ιѕαѕтєя ❀
: two slices of toast bread with cheese and sometimes ham inside made using this
fat cat
or something similar
zєℓ∂ιѕαѕтєя ❀
oh okay, then i'd call that a grilled cheese
fat cat
which i have always known as a "toaster" but when i wanted to buy one, looking for "toasters" only gave me the ones where you put a single slice of bread and it goes pop when ready
fat cat

: idt i have ever heard it referred to like this, which region is this name from?
fat cat
zєℓ∂ιѕαѕтєя ❀
: nods
ᴊɪɴᴜᴀʀʏ
świętokrzyskie! idk if it's the whole region or just my house though lol
ᴊɪɴᴜᴀʀʏ
but it's because we called the machine "zgrzewacz" and not a "toaster"
ᴊɪɴᴜᴀʀʏ
since like you said, toaster is the single slice pop-up thing
fat cat
i know for sure calling it toast was not a my house only thing bc that's how it was called in my high school cafeteria and it's what appears if i google "tost z serem"
fat cat
of course that's not at all what i get for "toast with cheese" or any variation of it
fat cat
just "tost" gives me mixed results in photos, single pieces of bread as god intended and this

Yeah I think the overall American answer is grilled cheese. Although with ham in it some would argue it's a "melt"
ᴊɪɴᴜᴀʀʏ
I don't remember the details but I would absolutely believe I might have been the one who opposed to calling it a toast because it sounds like something I'd do LMAO
pastel ranma
and the above device would either be a sandwich press or panini press.
fat cat
pastel ranma
: interesting! panini press for me would be one with a pattern like this specifically
ᴊɪɴᴜᴀʀʏ
I checked with my dad and he confirmed that one's entirely our household's invention lmao
fat cat
semi related but i just got a device that can do both + 3 others and i'm having a very "being in your 30s and getting excited over a new kitchen appliance" moment
fat cat
ᴊɪɴᴜᴀʀʏ
: ngl i love when this happens, that's cute
pastel ranma
Yeah I think they got blended together as terms a bit when companies started making one you could swap out which pattern it uses.

Toasted cheese sandwich lol
