Alright, let’s talk about what goes good with that grilled cheese, you know, the one you make in the pan. I ain’t fancy, so don’t expect no fancy words, got it?
First thing’s first, and everyone and their grandma knows this, it’s tomato soup. Yeah, yeah, I know, you’re sayin’ “Tell me somethin’ I don’t know!” But hold on, it ain’t just any tomato soup. You gotta have that creamy kind, the one that sticks to your ribs. Not that watery stuff, no sir. Thick and creamy, that’s the ticket. It’s like they were made for each other, the grilled cheese and the soup, dippin’ that cheesy bread in there… oh my. You dip the sandwich, and it gets all soft and warm. It’s like a hug for your tummy, you know? And if you’re feeling extra fancy, throw in a little swirl of cream on top.
- Tomato Soup: The OG, the classic, the best darn side dish there is. Don’t argue with me on this one.
Now, if you’re one of them folks who likes to eat a whole lotta food, then you gotta have somethin’ more fillin’. That’s where them french fries come in. I’m talkin’ about the good kind, the crispy ones, not them soggy things. You get yourself a big ol’ pile of fries, salty and hot, and you eat ’em right alongside that grilled cheese. It’s a meal fit for a king, or a queen, or just a regular hungry person like me. And don’t forget the ketchup, gotta have ketchup! Some people, they like to dip their grilled cheese in the ketchup too, ain’t nothin’ wrong with that.
- French Fries: For when you’re extra hungry and need somethin’ to stick to your ribs. Make ’em crispy!
But maybe you’re tryin’ to be a little bit healthy, you know, eat your vegetables and all that. Well, I guess you could have a salad. But not one of them fancy salads with all the weird stuff in it. Just a plain ol’ salad, with lettuce and maybe some tomatoes and cucumbers. And don’t go crazy with the dressing, just a little bit is all you need. I ain’t a rabbit, I don’t want to eat a whole pile of leaves. But a little salad, it can be good, kinda cleans your mouth out after all that cheesy goodness.
And then there’s that coleslaw stuff. You know, the cabbage and carrots all shredded up in that creamy sauce. It’s kinda sweet and tangy, and it goes pretty good with the grilled cheese. It’s crunchy, and that’s nice, gives you somethin’ to chew on. My neighbor, she makes a real good coleslaw, says it’s her grandma’s recipe. I should probably get that recipe from her one of these days.
- Salad: If you’re feelin’ healthy, but don’t go overboard.
- Coleslaw: Sweet and tangy, a good change of pace from all that cheesy stuff.
Now, here’s somethin’ a little different, somethin’ my grandkids told me about. Pizza sauce! Yeah, you heard me right, pizza sauce. They dip their grilled cheese in it, says it tastes like a pizza sandwich. I tried it once, and I gotta say, it ain’t half bad. It’s a little zesty, a little tangy, and it goes good with the cheese. So if you’re feelin’ adventurous, give it a try. You never know, you might like it.
- Pizza Sauce: A little somethin’ different, for the adventurous eaters out there. Makes it kinda like a pizza sandwich.
So there you have it, a whole bunch of things you can eat with your grilled cheese. Tomato soup is the best, no question about it. But them fries and that coleslaw ain’t bad either. And if you’re feelin’ fancy, have a salad. Or if you’re feelin’ wild, try that pizza sauce thing. Just don’t forget the ketchup! Now go on and make yourself a grilled cheese, you’re makin’ me hungry just talkin’ about it.
At the end of the day, it all boils down to what you like, see? There ain’t no right or wrong answer. You eat what you want, and don’t let nobody tell you different. That grilled cheese is yours, and you can eat it with whatever your heart desires.
One more thing, don’t forget a big glass of milk or iced tea to wash it all down. Now that’s a meal!
