Community Q&A
-
QuestionWhy did you fry the grilled sandwich?
Community AnswerThe name is a take on the "grilled cheese" sandwich, which is also technically fried, not grilled. -
QuestionDoes it have to be a triangle?
Community AnswerNo, it doesn't. -
QuestionWhich one is better, chunky, smooth or simple peanut butter?
Community AnswerIt is a matter of opinion but most people think that smooth is better because the chunky bits get stuck in your teeth and regular is hard to spread on the bread. You want to be able to spread it on easily.
