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)
