The Expendables 2: Cheese on Toast

Quick! Name some simple foods/meals/snacks that almost anyone can assemble! Of course assuming you've already read the title of this post you know I'm just trying to prompt you to say cheese on toast. Fine we'll just get on with this.

Cheese on toast (or I guess a "grilled" cheese if you're american) is pretty fucking simple to make. At the worst you may end up slicing your finger off in an attempt to slice some cheese or bread. But in this fantastical age of Higgs Bosons and Quark-Gluon Plasmas, we now have pre-sliced bread and  pre-sliced cheese.

In fact, assuming one can operate a grill or some other kind of heat source, even a child of 10 could assemble something this simple.

(Please note, the author of this blog post does not condone children of 10 making cheese on toast. Or for that matter, writing screenplays for major hollywood movies.)

But this cheese on toast, this particular portion of cheese on toast, is comprised of the cheapest, thinnest, nastiest supermarket own-branded "medium"-sliced bread possible. And you know what (yup, starting a sentence with 'and') bread is delicious, but compared to cheese? Fuck bread, because whilst this cheese on toast may have gone for the standard awful bread, the choice on cheese is sublime.

We're not even talking a nice mature cheddar here, we're talking a mixture of different cheeses, each picked to support the rather weak choice of bread. Sure, when you melt them together and bind them to the bread a lot of this potential for greatness is lost in the great cheesy amalgam, but you know what, it's fucking delicious.

Side order: Oh dear that whole "crispy duck with plum sauce" line made me cringe horrendously.
