Good luck with that. Grill is a type of cooking not a specific cutt of meat.
Will they ban grilled cheese?
Sounds like they've already banned referring to grilled zucchini as such.
The fact that cheese is mainly a product derivative of milk probably protects its name if it was the case.
I don't think that is relevant in this case - the article is about Vegetarian food, not Vegan. Vegans are the ones against dairy.
Yeah, I got that. I was simply following the comment's example.
Grilled cheese is not literally grilled cheese
In my country if you use Google translate and order grilled cheese in a restaurant the server will watch you weirdly and maybe after some hesitation will give you a plate of melted cheese
If you ordered grilled cheese in English and your waiter was also a fucking jaw dragging troglodyte they'd bring out a plate of melted cheese as well.
Everyone else will assume you abbreviated a grilled cheese sandwich
In my country (english speaking) I think many people would be confused if you asked for a "grilled cheese" because they aren't called that here (it's usually called a toasted sandwich or toastie)
Which country?
You can grill grilled cheese.
Yes but that's a grilled cheese sandwich
Here, literally grilled cheese
