How do you improve on the good ol’ cheese sammich? It’s pretty much the easiest thing to make, as even I can whip one up and not have to worry about anybody being rushed to have their stomach pumped at the nearest ICU. But the answer to that, lies within another treasured South African pastime: The braai. When you’ve put together a cheese toastie and slapped it on top of a heated grill that has already had numerous meats on top of it, something wonderful happens.
There’s just something that you can’t properly explain about the flavour of a cheese toastie that comes straight off of the braai grid, with those black scorch marks adding to the flavour. Personally, I like to have three cheeses in my sarmie that consists of cheddar, gouda and a sprinkling of feta. Maybe you like to augment yours with a few slices of fresh tomato. Or maybe you’re brain-damaged like Z and like to add some onion to the sammich as well.
But whatever your taste, it’s normally delicious when you take that hot package straight off the grill and dig into the gooey treat beneath the crust. Crap, now I’m super-hungry.
