Vegan grilled cheese with "ham", "butter", mustard and jalapenos

They don't contain dairy, but are processed in a facility that uses dairy. I suppose some vegans don't buy from any companies that do that, but I just used the word for convention

That's fine, I'm an addicted Omnivore, so I hold no stake, just wondered if that'd upset you, so I wanted to point it out :)

Fomulouscrunch@reddit

You had the ranch ones yet? I'm not in their marketing or anything, I want to know what a fellow takis ho thinks of their straying into potato chip perversions.

What's next? Dill takis? Ketchup takis?

[-]

hail_abigail@reddit (OP)

Low key I'm gonna drop a r/10thdentist take, but I hate ranch and ketchup (and mayo for the record), but I hope that you liked them. I would love a dill kind tho mmm

Lol they flip tables whenever someone puts some onions or a single slice of meat onto it, they'd riot if they saw this

[-]

whoweoncewere@reddit

They’re not pleased about this to say the least, but it’s mostly just feeling bad for op for having to eat it

[-]

hail_abigail@reddit (OP)

I had no idea people felt so strongly about grilled cheese!

[-]

They're really anal about a grilled cheese not being one but rather a "melt" if it has anything other than cheese in it... which I find kind of frivolous considering grilled cheeses usually aren't even "grilled" to begin with.

Alton Brown is the only person I've seen make a legitimate grilled cheese

does vegan cheese not melt?

[-]

anonmymouse@reddit

No. No it does not. A family member of mine eats dairy free cheese (bc lactose intolerant) and of all the different types and brands she's brought around over the years, I've never seen a single one actually melt. They tried to make a lasagna from it once.. it was certainly.. something

[-]

OhhLongDongson@reddit

I’ve used a coconut oil based cheese in a pasta sauce that melted well before

[-]

APissBender@reddit

Have they tried lactose free cheese?

Cheese in general has only tiny amounts of lactose when compared to milk it's made from.

That being said, I do remember using vegan cheese that did melt. Couldn't tell you the brand, it was in one of Polish supermarkets and it was on sale which was the reason I bought it.

[-]

The_Radish_Spirit@reddit

Not every brand makes a melting cheese. It's tough for something to be solid at room temp then melt in a pan.

The key to melting for most brands (and even nonvegan cheese) is to steam it. Throw a lid over a grilled cheese or burger with a cheese slice, and it'll melt in a minute or two

[-]

dillydallyally97@reddit

Blaze pizza has the only vegan cheese I’ve seen melt. Maybe tell her to ask them where they source it

[-]

Loud_Charity@reddit

It’s just chemicals and whey, why would it?

[-]

ThePennedKitten@reddit

Obviously I haven’t seen every vegan cheese out there, but cashew milk cultured cheese is as much a chemical as regular cheese is.

[-]

psycho_pirate@reddit

Technically all cheese is a bunch of chemicals. People that say “chemicals bad” don’t know what they are talking about.

[-]

ScroochDown@reddit

Technically everything is chemicals! Except maybe like empty space. I don't know, I'm not a chemist.

[-]

Miserable-Guava2396@reddit

Some stuff is chemicals like Pepsi and wine gums, but real food like beef and water and vegetables isn't chemicals, it's nutrients.

[-]

trux03@reddit

nutrients are also chemicals, just different chemicals

[-]

ScroochDown@reddit

And what are nutrients made of? Chemicals.

[-]

lalaboom84@reddit

Lmao whey is not vegan it’s a dairy product

[-]

Miserable-Guava2396@reddit

It's obviously vegan whey

[-]

fool_on_227@reddit

No whey!

[-]

10001110101balls@reddit

Literally everything that exists as a solid, liquid, or gas is made out of chemicals.

Why is it healthier?

[-]

Codilious44@reddit

It’s not

[-]

MaybeAPerson_no@reddit

It is

[-]

jonknee@reddit

Well for one it’s not good so you eat much less of it!

[-]

kbstriker@reddit

It’s not healthier. Placebo effect and confirmation bias leads to this belief.

[-]

10001110101balls@reddit

That's not what peer-reviewed academic research tends to find, when studying the health effects of eating plant-based vs. animal-based fats. I'm not a vegan and don't often eat vegan anything, but that's no reason to reject science.

[-]

10001110101balls@reddit

Easy to claim this when you ignore a massive volume of research on this exact subject.

[-]

10001110101balls@reddit

Mainly that it uses plant-based fats rather than animal fats.

If it was whey protein it wouldn’t be vegan

[-]

therift289@reddit

Why would vegan cheese contain whey, a milk product?

[-]

GoatCovfefe@reddit

Wait til you find out what kraft American cheese is made of, you know, the super melty stuff.

[-]

jonknee@reddit

Cheese, milk and an emulsifier? Pretty tasty and perfect for a cheeseburger. Like many others I have a big bag of sodium citrate so I can emulsify my own cheese and it’s great fun.

[-]

GoatCovfefe@reddit

Nah it was a joke, kraft American cheese doesn't exist.

It's actually considered "pasteurized processed American cheese food" by the FDA, as it's less than 51% cheese.

[-]

Spiritual_Ask4877@reddit

Yeah, we know lol. Shits so good.

[-]

jamescharisma@reddit

Isn't that American Processed Cheese Food Product? Cus vegan cheese wouldn't have whey in it. Whey is derived from milk.

You've found a new way to insult the grilled cheese community.

You made an unmelted melt and have the audacity to call it a grilled cheese.

[-]

Show r/grilledcheese and watch the lamest people you've ever seen shit themselves.

"REEEE! It has something other than cheese in it so it isn't really a grilled cheese!"

Much props to vegans for being able to eat that. I tried and I just can’t. The cheese is just awful to me.

[-]

No_Development341@reddit

Are takis vegan I didn't know

[-]

hail_abigail@reddit (OP)

I thought yes because they don't have any non vegan ingredients. However, some vegans in the thread are saying they're not because they're manufactured in the same facility as ones with dairy and have cross contamination. I personally don't think it's that deep, but to each their own

[-]

LarenCoe@reddit

What's the "ham"?

[-]

hail_abigail@reddit (OP)

Soy

[-]

If I was a vegan, I’d make an exception for cheese that melts, and die living my truth.

[-]

hail_abigail@reddit (OP)

That's just called vegetarian lol, but yeah they have melty kind I'm just cheap

[-]

Possible_Abalone_846@reddit

There was a post a couple dates ago of vegan pizza with "cheese" that was definitely melty. So the technology exists. (I can't vouch for the taste tho)

Slash00611@reddit

You people make me sick.

A grilled cheese consists of only these following items. Cheese. Bread with spread (usually butter). This entire subreddit consist of "melts". Almost every "grilled cheese" sandwich i see on here has other items added to it. The fact that this subreddit is called "grilledcheese" is nothing short of utter blasphemy.

Let me start out by saying I have nothing against melts, I just hate their association with sandwiches that are not grilled cheeses. Adding cheese to your tuna sandwich? It's called a Tuna melt. Totally different. Want to add bacon and some pretentious bread crumbs with spinach? I don't know what the hell you'd call that but it's not a grilled cheese.

I would be more than willing to wager I've eaten more grilled cheeses in my 21 years than any of you had in your entire lives. I have one almost everyday and sometimes more than just one sandwich. Want to personalize your grilled cheese? Use a mix of different cheeses or use sourdough or french bread. But if you want to add some pulled pork and take a picture of it, make your own subreddit entitled "melts" because that is not a fucking grilled cheese.

I'm not a religious man nor am I anything close to a culinary expert. But as a bland white mid-western male I am honestly the most passionate person when it comes to grilled cheese and mac & cheese. All of you foodies stay the hell away from our grilled cheeses and stop associating your sandwich melts with them. Yet again, it is utter blasphemy and it rocks me to the core of my pale being.

Shit, I stopped lurking after 3 years and made this account for the sole purpose of posting this. I've seen post after post of peoples "grilled cheeses" all over reddit and it's been driving me insane. The moment I saw this subreddit this morning I finally snapped. Hell, I may even start my own subreddit just because I know this one exists now.

You god damn heretics. Respect the grilled cheese and stop changing it into whatever you like and love it for it what it is. Or make your damn melt sandwich and call it for what it is. A melt.
