Talk:grilled cheese




 * I don't think Stewie's not being a real person has should have any bearing in whether this can be accepted as a quotation or not... It's directly analogue to quoting from a character's quote in a book. Should we disallow those? — [&#32;R·I·C&#32;] opiaterein — 16:55, 14 August 2010 (UTC)


 * Certainly the quotation is acceptable: the episode was written by someone. If we'd had two other good quotations and needed a third, I would have determined the actual author(s), and tried to track down the video so I could figure out what's up with the weird ellipsis in the middle, but we didn't, so I haven't bothered (much as how I don't generally bother with b.g.c. snippet-view quotations unless we absolutely need them). —Ruakh TALK 20:36, 14 August 2010 (UTC)


 * It's one of those short cutaways that Family Guy uses a lot. Stewie is at a concert for one of those awesome hippy bands and he's on acid or something, trying to trade his shirt for a grilled cheese.
 * Info on the episode, including director, writer, etc. — [&#32;R·I·C&#32;] opiaterein — 21:16, 14 August 2010 (UTC)

 * Thanks! I've just re-watched the episode, and restored the quote. —Ruakh TALK 21:28, 14 August 2010 (UTC)

RFV discussion
"A sandwich with cheese in between two slices of bread typically toasted or fried in butter." Can anyone find usage that isn't followed by "sandwich"? (Oddly, the example sentence itself says "grilled cheese sandwich".) --Yair rand 23:53, 10 January 2010 (UTC)


 * I would claim "widespread use" colloquially. I don't know the full geographic scope of use, but I expect it is all US, probably Canada, possibly Oz. DCDuring TALK 01:10, 11 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Really? I don't think I've ever heard someone refer to "a grilled cheese"... --Yair rand 01:23, 11 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Uncountable. "I'm having gilled cheese" means a sandwich of cheese melted in, never the cheese alone (sans bread). I'd also say widespread use with that definition, but it should be citable.  (But I haven't the time now.) &#x200b;— msh210 ℠ 01:33, 11 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Also countable: "If I never have another grilled cheese, it will be too soon." DCDuring TALK 02:47, 11 January 2010 (UTC)

OED cites grilled cheese sandwich from 1929 and grilled cheese from 1931. —Michael Z. 2010-03-09 22:57 z 


 * Awesome, I just added a quote from Family Guy... then came here and saw that one without sandwich was wanted. Nifty. — [&#32;R·I·C&#32;] opiaterein — 19:11, 5 June 2010 (UTC)

Cited. Only from 1973, though. I guess the OED has us beat for this one. :-P  —Ruakh TALK 17:03, 14 August 2010 (UTC)


 * RFV passed. —Ruakh TALK 18:13, 3 September 2010 (UTC)
