is the american "grilled cheese sandwich" the same as the european "schinken-käse toast"? a question that forever gnawed at me but i've always been too afraid to ask. today tho i finally searched for an answer, and the answer is: no, but yes. as in: they're very similar, but there are a few differences.
basically: white bread instead of toast, type of cheese, yes or no to ham, buttered tops, optional additional ingredients.
