cheese on toast

SOP. --WikiTiki89 20:40, 8 August 2014 (UTC)

Keep (possibly); I have amended it to uncountable (always), in case the entry survives. Donnanz (talk) 21:27, 8 August 2014 (UTC)

What do you mean by possibly? If you're unsure, you shouldn't vote. --WikiTiki89 22:12, 8 August 2014 (UTC)

I think it's worth keeping, but let's see what others think. Should also be categorised under "Foods". Donnanz (talk) 22:42, 8 August 2014 (UTC)

Delete. Just another goofy creation by Wonderfool, trying to play us for fools. --- · (talk) 02:46, 9 August 2014 (UTC)

The current definition is definitely SOP, but the Wikipedia article seems to indicate that a slice of cheese placed on a piece of cold toast would not qualify. Chuck Entz (talk) 04:41, 9 August 2014 (UTC)

Correct. Make the toast first, put the cheese on top, then grill it until the cheese melts. Donnanz (talk) 09:44, 9 August 2014 (UTC)

I think that's a feature of toast, though. If you order a "toast" for breakfast, you can expect it to be fresh out of the toaster. --WikiTiki89 12:26, 9 August 2014 (UTC)

• I have had a go at improving the definition. I would class it as a hot snack rather than a dish (part of a main meal). Donnanz (talk) 09:06, 10 August 2014 (UTC)

delete. Just think which other things you can put on toast. "Bacon on toast" gets about 1.5 times as many Google hits as "cheese on toast". "Ham on toast", "ham and cheese on toast" and "bacon, egg and cheese on toast" are quite popular as well. Wonderfool! --Hekaheka (talk) 14:52, 10 August 2014 (UTC)

Fried egg test? As far as I know cheese on toast always refers to melted cheese on toast. Renard Migrant (talk) 16:11, 11 August 2014 (UTC)

See WT:FRIED for the fried egg test. --WikiTiki89 16:54, 11 August 2014 (UTC)

Keep. It's a specific thing and has to be prepared properly. Cold cheese on a slice of toast is not ‘cheese on toast’. Ƿidsiþ 07:15, 19 August 2014 (UTC)

It's impossible to have cold cheese on a hot piece of toast. And as I've already mentioned, "toast" by itself implies a hot piece of toast. --WikiTiki89 11:26, 19 August 2014 (UTC)--WikiTiki89 11:26, 19 August 2014 (UTC)

Well the point is that the cheese has to be grilled and melted over the toast. You can't just make toast and put some slices of cheese on it; that's not cheese on toast. Ƿidsiþ 11:29, 19 August 2014 (UTC)

Now we're getting somewhere. Can you find citations of this definition? Would you say it is the equivalent of the American term grilled cheese? --WikiTiki89 11:34, 19 August 2014 (UTC)

I think a grilled cheese is a sandwich though, isn't it? In the UK that's what we'd call a (cheese) toastie. But cheese on toast is open. Just do a Google Images search and you'll exactly what it is. Ƿidsiþ 11:44, 19 August 2014 (UTC)

See also Cheese on toast. Ƿidsiþ 11:45, 19 August 2014 (UTC)

An open-face sandwich is still a sandwich, though, isn't it? Anyway, in my idiolect, I sometimes use "grilled cheese" to refer to refer to exactly what is pictured at cheese on toast, but I can't speak for anyone else. --WikiTiki89 11:50, 19 August 2014 (UTC)

Personally, I do make cheese on toast by toasting bread and then putting processed cheese on it and allowing the heat from the toast to melt the cheese. But maybe others would say that isn't "real" cheese on toast. —Aɴɢʀ (talk) 12:33, 19 August 2014 (UTC)

We're in another fried egg situation where some people say that any fried egg is a fried egg, while others add specific restrictions to it. --WikiTiki89 12:38, 19 August 2014 (UTC)

As the nominator of the entry, I have been convinced and am voting keep. --WikiTiki89 11:50, 19 August 2014 (UTC)

Keep. Renard Migrant (talk) 15:59, 20 August 2014 (UTC)
