He used very thick* bread, the wrong cheese and cooked it on a pan over an open fireplace, the worst way to grill a grilled cheese (bread burns extremely fast, gives no chance for cheese to melt)
Thick bread? What a joke. The bread is only there to keep the grease off my fingers. Quesadillas are even better than grilled cheese because the tortilla is thinner.
Just what everyone wants with their cheese on toast, a mound of fucking kimchi.
He always does shit like that, he can't just make the dish he has to add something. He was making a great looking bread and butter pudding once then covered it in sultanas it was the worst.
It's typical of "higher artists". They get bored and they're so caught up in themselves they think everyone else is going to be blown away by whatever new different things they come up with. But then it turns out that new different thing is like an upside down urinal in art gallery.
Rare miss from Gordo. I use his asparagus cooking method all the time (and I love how the video doesn't have 5 minutes of padding content) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qtkm2NsiUvc
Have you tried American cheese from the deli or Kraft's premium select American cheese (not individually wrapped)?
If you haven't, but claim to not like American cheese then you're missing out. It's like buying the worst, absolute cheapest version of a food and then declaring that you hate all forms of it in all dishes.
