The mayonnaise and sandwich debate

[Barriehie]

That would work for a wild rice and broccoli cheddar soup, but I strongly dislike tomato soup.

Me too, can't stand that stuff in a can.

If someone made me homemade and that was all there was to eat, I would eat it, but there are a lot of other soups I would rather have.

I think they call it a prepared cheese product.

They can call it what they like: cheese product, plastic cheese, pasteurised fermented curds, minced milk solids with annato - I don't mind and I don't care. There are times in my life when, all I want is a crappy hamburger with 3 slices on top.

Absolutely spot on. Sometimes when out I smell a cheap crappy burger (made from who knows what parts of a cow) and I just have to have one and it's delicious. Not something I'd have all the time as I prefer to make my meals from scratch when I can, but sometimes you've just got to be bad and enjoy it!!

Does faux cheese or whatever one chooses to call it, work in a grilled (toasted) cheese sandwich, though?

My attempt to steer us back on topic...

Yes.

There are videos out there saying it doesn't melt as the poster holds a lighter to it and it's charring. What the poster is really doing is advertising their lack of knowledge about the process. It's melting, quickly, and then charring... The observed time frame is incorrect for an accurate, on their part, assessment.

I agree
We can only get processed cheese here and it works fine in a toasted sandwich.
Less so in my pizza oven. Some types of processed cheese char at that heat, some do OK.
Our mozzarella does even weirder things

I love a bit of plastic cheese but wow it messes with my guts!

Well it does contain milk...probably not much, but then it doesn't take much, does it?

Technically, a burger is a sandwich - at least in the USA.
On a plain old grilled cheese sarnie, yep, it works. Remember Velveeta? You don't want to cook it too much, however.
Cheese on toast - it chars and sticks to the roof of your mouth.

We got it on the first one!

Not a lot but plastic cheese is disproportionately bad, such a small amount creates quite a quesoquake!

Barriehie Dill pickles in a Grilled Cheese sandwich sounds really good! And yes, I do like it made with Kraft cheese.
I have used mayo on the outside of a Grilled Cheese, I couldn't tell you if it was any better or worse than using butter.
What I will say is, you can keep your Tomato Soup in any way, shape, or form
